Abstract

Palm oil is a triglyceride, which is a glycerol compound with fatty acids that can be obtained from the mesocarp of oil palm fruit. CPO is produced from a long process, starting from a weighbridge to palm oil pressed, which is purified at the Purification (Clarification) station. Crude Oil Tank accommodates crude oil filtered from the vibrating screen which functions to reduce NOS (Non Oil Solid) and increase heat. The presence of impurities and high water content in the oil will affect the total composition and output rate of CPO production, so that it is not in accordance with the design of the mass balance. Mass balance calculations are used to obtain the mass of input and output from the palm oil production process. This Percentage of oil entering CST from Crude Oil Tank processing with crude oil feed amounting to 1,770,048 kg/week with an oil percentage of 43,9603614458%, water percentage 19,8631807229% and Sand 36,176457831%. The bottom flow rate from Crude oil tank to Solution Tank is 10.536 kg/Hour with a percentage of 1,70% oil, 26,39% of Water percentage and 71,91% of Sand of 576 Kg/Hour.
