Abstract

Indonesia has been placed as the world's first producer of crude palm oil and crude palm oil. In producing crude palm oil (CPO) and palm kernel oil (PKO), the palm oil industry relies heavily on processing fresh fruit bunches (FFB) at palm oil mills (POM) and is traded internationally. However, this process also produces solid organic waste [ i.e. empty bunches (EFB)], which reach up to 25 %% of FFB. The analysis shows that the application of empty bunches as organic fertilizer has not been able to increase the amount of nutrients in palm oil leaves and increase palm oil production. Application of palm oil mill effluent which is able to increase the amount of nutrients in palm oil, especially nitrogen and phosphate, and a positive impact to increase the production of oil palm plantations, especially on productivity (tons / ha).

Highlights

  • The analysis shows that the application of empty bunches as organic fertilizer has not been able to increase the amount of nutrients in palm oil leaves and increase palm oil production

  • Penyusutan ini disebabkan karena terjadinya pembebasan unsur hara dari senyawa organik menjadi senyawa anorganik yang berguna bagi tanaman, kadar senyawa nitrogen yang larut meningkat, sebagian besar senyawa karbohidrat hilang, dan menguap ke udara serta proses pencernaan menghasilkan panas yang menguapkan kandungan uap air dan CO2 dalam limbah kelapa sawit dan bahan campurannya

Summary

Introduction

Proses ini juga menghasilkan limbah organik padat [yaitu tandan kosong (EFB)], yang mencapai hingga 25% dari TBS. Diperlakukan dengan input tinggi yang pemasangan teknologi kompos saja merepotkan menyebabkan akumulasi logam berat (polutan) karena karakteristik efisiensi pabrik kelapa sawit hingga tingkat berbahaya juga meningkat.
