RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research design indicates plan of action to be carried out in connection with a proposed research
work. The research design is simply a specific presentation of various steps in the process of
research. The researcher used analytical research design for his study.
The researcher used both the primary and secondary data collection techniques. The financial
data available from the annual reports and other records. But the functions of various
departments are made available through the primary data collection.
The term „research‟ refers to the systematic method consisting of enunciating the problem,
formulating a hypothesis, collecting the facts or data, analyzing facts and reaching certain either
in the form of solution towards the concerned problem or in certain generalization for some
theoretical formulation.
The nature of the study of this project is analytical study one has to use facts or information
already available and analyze these to make critical evolution of the material. Necessary data had
been mainly collected from the annual reports and records of the company. Relevant information
were also collected from various journals , periodicals, committee reports , connected with this
subject.

COLLECTION OF DATA
There are two types of collecting data; they are primary data and the sources available, it
becomes primary data. Since they are collected for the first time for the purpose of study it is
primary in nature.
The data for this project was collected from both primary data and secondary data sources.
Sources of primary data
When the researcher trying to collect the data for particular purpose from advantage of the
primary data are they are truthful and further suit the purpose. The collection of the primary data
is very expensive and time consuming.
The primary data collected during the study is the form of method:
 Direct interview method

o In direct interview method of collecting data personally with each and every
departmental managers helped in deriving more details about the functions of the
departments.
 Observation method
o The production process in the company is come into view through method of
observation. The healthy relationship between the workers and the managers is
also an example of observation method of data collection.
Sources of secondary data
Secondary data are those which had been collected by some other person for their purpose and
published. So the researcher is said to make use of secondary data if he makes use of data
already compiled by some other person. Secondary data are usually in the shape of finished
products. Collection of secondary data has advantages of being less expensive and less time
consuming. Secondary data need not be through scrutiny is to be made about its adequacy
reliability and suitability.
Secondary data are those data collected by others. The data was collected through

Industrial profile
Palm oil is said to be nature‟s gift to the world. Palm oil was long recognized in West African
countries and among West African people it has long been in wide spread use it as cooking oil.
Consumed for more than 5000 years, its nutritional value as a natural resource continues to be
discovered ever today. First introduced to Malaysia in 1870 as an ornamental plant, the Elaeis
Guinensis tree, also known as oil palm tree, is now a leading agricultural of a wide range of
processed Palm oil product. Today Palm fruit oil and Palm oil products are used in many food
and non-food applications. They can be used as frying media and making margarines,
shortenings, soap,oleo chemicals and other products.
Oil Palm has a long, colorful history. Most of the planted palm in Malaysia was derived from
four palms established at the Bogor Botanical Garden in 1848.
Palm oil is obtained from Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) of Oil Palm Cultivations. There are several
commercial variants of Palm Oil available viz:
 RBD (Refined Bleached Deodorized ) Palm Oil.

 Crude Palm Oil (CPO)
 Palm Kernel Oil
 Crude Palmolein
Crude Palm Oil when subjected to refining results to the other fractions. Palm Oil is form
of edible vegetable oil obtained from fruit of Oil Palmtree. It is the second most widely
produced edible oil and now it sine passed Soybean oil and become widely produced
vegetable oil in the world.
Crude Palm Oil (CPO) is obtained from mesocarp of the fruits and depending on the
variety and the age of the Palm oil, to bunch ratio is within the range of 25% to 28%.
Interims of productivity per unit area, the Oil Palm yields of Palm oil per annum is more
than 3700kg/hectare, compared to 875 kg/ hectare for peanut oil and 389 kg/hectare
soybean oil.
9
Crude palm oil is extracted from the fleshy portion of the fruit wall while the kernel he
crude Palm oil is deep orange red in color and is semi solid at a temperature of 20degree
centigrade. Palm oil contains an equal proportion of saturated and unsaturated fatty acid
containing about 40% oleic acid, 10% linoleic acid, 44% Palmitic acid and 5% stearic
acid. The unprocessed Palm oil is used for cooking in various countries. Palm oil is a
very source of Beta carotene, an important source of Vitamin A and it contains
Tecopherols and Tocotrienols, a natural source of Vitamin E.
Vitamin A and Vitamin E contents are the highest palm oil in comparsion with any
other types of oil and hence consumption of the same boosts health. By virtue of the high
vitamin contents the “Red Palm Oil is a nature‟s gift for the human begins”.
DEVELOPMENTS
Cultivation
Private sector
The oil palm was planted in Malaysia in 1870. The first commercial planting of oil palm in
Malaysia started in 1917 at Tennamaran estate Selangor.
Development was, however, slow and it took another 50 years before it began to pick up pace.
The impetus came in the late 1950s when the Malaysian Government embarked on a massive
agricultural diversification programme to case dependence on the traditional rubber for export
earnings. Many estates replaced rubber with oil palm and also opened up new lands for the
cultivations of oil palm.
Within a relatively short time, the planned areas under oil palm increased tremendously. In 1960
the total planted area was 54700 hectares it had reached 300,800 hectares. In 1993 a total of 2.3
million hectares had been planted and by the year 2000 about 2.9 million hectares are expected
to be planted with oil palm.
10
Public sector and independent small holders
Originally, the cultivation of palm oil was limited to the plantation sector because of high level
of organization and capital investment required. The success of the Government land
resettlement schemes, started in the 1960, marked a pioneering effort towards introducing the
crop to smallholders. At the forefront is the Federal Land Development Authority (FELDA).
Other agencies involved include the Federal Land Consolidation and Rehabilitation Authority
(FELCRA), and the State Economic Development Corporations (SEDCs)
ADVANTAGES OF PALM OIL
Reliability of supply
Being a perennial tree, the palm oil is harvested throughout the year. Its productivity per hectare
per year is very high. Palm oil has the advantage of reliable and regular supply compared to
some oils from annual crops.
Range of products
Technology has provided the industry with processing and fractionation techniques capable of
turning out wide range of products to suit consumers manufacturing requirements.
Versatile and Superiority
Its versatility makes palm oil a suitable raw material for many applications both in edible and
non-edible products. It has the flexibility to be used as it or in fractionated forms. Its resistance to
deterioration and rancidity makes it an excellent oil for deep flying.
Cost Benefit
Being naturally hydrogenated, palm oil requires minimal hydrogenation or none, whereas other
oils need to be hydrogenated. Furthermore, it is a natural product which contains no chemically
produced leans acid isomers which are produced in the hardening of liquid oils.
11
Nutritional value
Palm oil is one of the world‟s most widely consumed edible oils. Like other vegetable oils, palm
oil is cholesterol free, easily digestible, absorbed and utilized by the human body.
Since 1987 palm oil Research Institute of Malaysia has pursued a policy of supporting research
on the nutritional and health aspects of palm oil throughout the world. The consensus from the
findings of numerous human and animal feeding studies is that Palm Oil is indeed wholesome
and safe and its consumption in the habitual diet not only posess no risk to the development of
coronary heart disease but may even offer protection in view that the oil raises the level of the
good high density lipoproteins and lowers the levels of the bad low density lipoproteins.
In addition there is now increasing evidence to show that the minor components of Palm
oil such as the vitamin E, tocotrieols, and the carotenoids have several beneficial physiological
properties that are associated with a reduction of risk to coronary heart disease and some forms
of cancer.
Nature of the business
Known to be the most productive oil crop, a hectare of oil palm can produce 5 tons of crude palm
oil. This is 5 to 10 times more than yield of any commercially grown oil crop. With the potential
, a palm oil industry in the Philippines at full- scale development could pay a significant role in
improving one balance of payment through the production palm oil as import substitute and as a
major export. It could also pay a leading role in the government‟s efforts of effecting the
amelioration.
Impoverished masses of nuclear farms and milling plants were set up in strategically in 304,350
lectures throughout the Mindanao areas identified by the southern Philippines . Development
authority as feasible for this crop and farmers, organized as cooperatives, participate as out
growers for the nuclear farms, nearest to them. The nuclear farms provides technologies and
planting materials , supervises their farming activities and buys their product for processing by
the milling plant into the crude palm oil and kernel oil for the domestic and export market.
12
Palm fruit oil is consumed worldwide in more than 100 countries. In some part of the world,
palm fruit oil often still consumed in its undefined state, as an ingredient of traditional dishes
where it contributes its characteristic golden red color and unique flavour. However, to most
users, palm oil is more familiar as a refined vegetable oil product purchased at their local store
product, incorporated into their every day foods…
CURRENT SCENARIO
Palm oil unique composition makes it versatile in its application in food manufacturing and in
the chemical, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Its semi-solid physical properties are
needed in much good preparation. Its non-cholesterol quality and digestibility make it popular as
base material in the manufacture of various non-edibles products.
In the food industries, palm oil is the choice for manufacturing solid fat products. Palm oil olein
and stearin and popularly used worldwide in making, margarine, shortenings and confectionary
and in frying snack foods.
Palm oil is cost- effective as it needs not go through expensive hydrogenation process. Its high
content of natural antioxidants and its stability at high temperatures make it excellent as a deep
trying medium. It also gives fried products a longer shelf life while its bland taste beings out the
natural flavors of food.
Palm oil is also used in manufacturing of soaps, detergents and other surfactants. It is a good raw
material producing oleo chemicals, fatty acids, fatty alcohols, glycerol and other derivatives for
the manufacture of cosmetic, pharmaceuticals, households and industries products.
Oleo chemicals manufactured from palm oil and palm kind are now popular for the
manufacturing of environmentally friendly detergents as they are readily biodegrade.

COMPANY PROFILE
Oil Palm India Ltd was established as a subsidiary of Plantation Corporation of India Ltd in
1977. Subsequently in 1983 this became independent unit as a joint venture of the Kerala with a
share participation of Rs. 499.29 Lakhs and Rs. 679 respectively. The company was established
with the objective of developing oil palm cultivation in the state and to find a solution for the
shortage of oil. Company has got atotal area of 36 acre hectares of plantations spread over three
estates – Yeroor (2029.87hc), Cithara (1225.65hc)and Kulathupuzha (390.12hc) all in Kollam
district apart from this one for the production of hybrid variety of palm trees, aseed garden is also
set up at Thodupuzha. Initially it was intended to cultivate oil palm in 6000 hectares of land.
However due to the constraints in getting land allotted by government. The plantation has limited
to 3640 only and could not develop further cultivation since 1984.
For the processing of fresh fruits bunch (FFB) a mill was established with the state of the art
technology at an outline of Rs. 180.92 crores in the year 1999. The factory has the processing
capacity of 20 ton FFB/hr.
As part of the expansion activity, company has set up Oil Palm Seed

OIL PALM DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME(OPDP)
Oil palm is capable of yielding 3.5tons of oil/Ha with good management all most 5-8 times
higher than other oil seeds crops give only an average yield of 600kg to 100 kg of oil/Ha. Hence
the potential of development of oil palm is unquestionable. In order to bridge the gap between
demand and supply of edible oils cultivation of oil palm was taken up seriously by Technology
Mission and Oil seeds and pulses (TMOP) to attain self reliance in edible oils Govt. of India
under TMOP introduced oil palm cultivation through Oil Palm Development Programme(OPDP)
21
in the identified potential areas of 11 states under integrated scheme of Oil seeds, pulses, Oil
palm and Maize(ISOPOM).
Oil Palm India Ltd is the nodal agency for the cultivation of oil palm in small and marginal
farmers and under OPDP scheme the centrally sponsored integrated scheme of oil seeds, pulses,
oil palm and maize.
The cultivation of oil palm in the state under the OPDP scheme connected during 1999-2000 and
covered 1300 Ha in 3070 farmers‟ field. Besides this Govt. of Kerala accorded sanction for
cultivating an area of 576 Ha from the year 2008-2009. In addition to this Govt. of Kerala

Product Profile
24
Product Profile
Oil palm is the richest source of oil. Oil Palm India Ltd was established in the year 1977 with the
objective of propagating oil palm cultivation in the country and more particularly in Kerala. The
various varieties that are marketed under the Oil Palm India Ltd are given below:
 Crude Palm Oil

 Palm Nut
 Kernel Cake
 Palm Kernel
Oil Palm India had products in its early stages. But now the company produces only two
products i.e. Crude Palm Oil and Palm Kernel.
Crude Palm Oil(CPO)
Palm Oil is one of the most commonly used vegetable oils. Oil Palm are grown in tropical
countries. Mainly South East Asia, India and some African and South American countries.
Before being refined, oil is called Crude Palm Oil.
Palm oil or palmolein is the oil produced from the red oil palm oil tree.The crude palm oil is
deep orange red in color and is semi solid at a temperature of 20 degree centigrade. Palm oil or
polyolefin is the oil is the oil produced from the red oil palm tree (ElasisGuincensis). Palm oil
extracted from the pulpy portion(Meso carp) of the fruit of oil palm. Palm oil contains an equal
proportion of saturated and unsaturated fatty acid containing about 40% of oleic acid, 44%
palmitic acid and 5% stearin acid.
Palm Kernel
Palm Kernel oil is “tropical” oil derived from seeds of oil palm tree fruit. Because this is mainly
a saturated oil (80%-85% Saturated)and low in essential fatty acids, palm Kernel oil may be
heated without the risk of creating harmful breakdown products(as is the case within saturated
25
oils, when heated) palm kernel oil is saturated oil, some research conducted in areas ripe with
live palm trees(where very flesh palm kernel oil is available) indicates that a diet high in tropical
oils may decrease cholesterol level, however other research contradicts these finding. As with
other saturated oils, palm kernel oil (especially refined palm kernel oil) should be used in
moderation or avoided in one‟s diet.
Palm Oil is of interest both- commercially and technically for the following reasons:-
 It is readily available
 It is economically priced, although straight comparisons of commodity prices don‟t tell
the whole story. Refined palm oil from Malaysia should be compared with partly
hydrogenated soybean oil.
 It is a source of the solid fat needed for the functionally of many food facts, without the
cost of hydrogenation and the concomitant formation of translate fatty acids.
 Palm mid – fraction is a major component of cocoa butter equivalent fat.
 Palm oil and palm oelin have good stability at frying temperature. Large scale industrial
frying in Europe and Asia is properly the largest application of palm oil.
 It is available in bulk in fractionated form. In addition to regular palm oil and palm
stearin, special oleins with iodine values up to 65 are available and a whole range of
softened, hard strains.
Uses of Palm Oil
Palm oil is very versatile oil with a range of distractive properties which enable it to meet
most of the technological requirements for formulating fat products.
By fractionating palm oil, it uses are further increased. Hydrogenation and
interesterificationincrease in usage even there especially in making specialized and
sophisticated edible products.
Palm oil is the liquid fraction obtained by fractionation of oil palm oil after crystallization
at a controlled temperature. The physical characteristics of palm oil differ significantly
from those of palm oil it is available in a wider range of fatty acids and triglycerides
compositions. The hard fraction, palm stearin, is a very useful source of fully natural and
hard fed component for products such ad shortenings, party margine, venaspathi etc.
26
Use are classified into edible and non-edible uses.
EDIBLE USES
 Margarine
 Frying fat for snack foods /fast foods
 Vanaspathi
 Non- diary creamers
 Ice cream

Advertisement Strategies
The major product of the company is crude oil and the company is making a bulk selling to the
customers through inviting tender and purchasing of the palm nuts by giving quotation. Tender is
invited by giving advertisement in newspapers, company notice board etc. Most of the customers
are previously known to the company like Paris on Foods Private Ltd, SSD oil mills, Ruchi Soya
Foods, Godrej Foods, HLL.
Tender and Quotation
Notices regarding tenders are advertised in newspaper, company notice board etc for attracting
prospective sellers of palm to quote their rates for supplying goods specified in the notice. When
a tender is accepted the successful tenders has to sign a contract to do what he has promised.
For the purchase of Fresh Fruit bunches (FFB) from private farm holders the quotation by letter
of enquiry is given. The supplies are asked to quote their rules and terns of payment for the
goods the company is willing to buy for them. In sending quotation itself the method of
transport, place and time of delivery, packing and forwarding changes, charges on account of
sales tax, freight and insurance are mentioned. The quotation given should be at lowest prices are
47
possible. Hence, the company has a benefit in inviting tender as all of their customers are
previously known to them and they have good business dealing with them for the last few years.
Pricing
Pricing of crude palm oil is always based on the market condition prevailing that pricing is
fluctuating according to the supply and demand condition. The company‟s high demand for
crude palm oil than what they produced and supplied, mainly because of lack of cultivation land
for palm. But now a day‟s more substitute oil use importing from aboard because of high
demand for oil and low tariff rates.
Distribution Channel
The company is not entered in oil refining. So that there is always a bulk purchase of crude oil
from the company to other oil refining companies. There are no intermediaries between the
producers and buyers.
Promotion Scheme being implemented
Oil Palm seed garden project is being developed for the production of hybrid variety of oil palm
seeds. From seed center about 5 Lakhs hybrid variety of oil palm seeds are producing annually
to cater the needs of farmers in Kerala and also central government.
Action has already taken to increase the production of spouts to 6 Lakhs from the current
financial year onwards.

The production and processing of raw material which are mainly includes in production
department of Oil Palm India Ltd. Production of raw materials takes place in three estates
namely Chithara, Yeroor and Kulathupuzha. Processing of raw material takes place in Yeroor
mill. In OPIL the raw material is Fresh Fruit Bunch or FFB or Palm Fruit. They produced the
FFB from their own estates.
The workers in the estate are mainly known as cutters and carriers. All cutters are male workers
and the same time all carriers are female workers. Cutters have the responsibility to harvest the
fresh fruit bunch and female carriers are collecting the FFB to the destination. These FFB‟s are
transported to the Yeroor mill foe the processing. The fruits are harvesting at the ripen stage
and one of the features of this stage is that the fruits become radish is colour. Thr Palm tree is
grown at wet kinds. The palm tree cultivation is based on rain feed cultivation.
The company had established a modern processing mill to process 20 MT FFb/ hr. A captive
power station is also set up for the generation of electricity. The fibre of palm fruits is used as
fuel for generation of stream to the turbine generator.
PRODUCTION PROCESS
Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) harvested from Oil Palm Plantations is highly perishable and require
processing within 24 hours. Delay in this adversely affects the quantity and quality of palm oil.
The process consists of extraction of Palm Kernel Oil(PKO) from the Kernel.
In brief the palm oil milling unit operations are as below:
FFB Reception
Several modern mills are equipped with the following in the reception area of the mill:
 Load cell pit less weigh bridge (Computerized)

 Larger loading ramp with hoppers of 16 meter tones capacity per day.
 5,7,10 meter tones FFB cage with bogie and wheel span of 800mm gauge.
 Cage transfer carriage location at both ends of the railway system.
 Straight line system with Cage transfer carriage to facilitate easier operation of the 2-door
sterilizer and shunting of the cages can be handled with the capstan and bollard.
51
Sterilization
On arrival at the mill the fruit is sterilized. One of the effects of this is to inactive the fruit
enzyme. Once this enzyme has been inactivated the rise of the
FFA is virtually stopped. The sterilizer process is done 1.5,2.5,3.5,5,7 and today 10 tons capacity
FFB cages which are pushed into long cylindrical steel vessel with special doors and subjected
to stream at approximately 3 bar for about one hour. The objective after harvesting is to sterilize
the fruit as quickly as possible with the minimum of handling and damage. In addition to
arresting the development of FFA contact, the sterilizing of fruit also facilities:
 The purification of palm oil by coagulating and mucilaginous matter and thus
preventing the formulation of emulsion during verification of the crude oil.
 The extraction of the crude palm oil by freezing the fruits from the bunch stalks
and by breaking the oil cells the mesocarp.
Sterilization is a simple process but it is essential, for the proper operation of the
mill so that it is done correctly. This operation is the largest user of steam in the
mill.
Stripping
After sterilization the sterilized fruit in cages are their winched out of the sterilizer vessel by the
arrangement of Bellard and Winch and their placed in the tippler machine for emptying the
contents of cage onto a scrap type- conveyor. This is then transported to the thresher machine for
stripping of the friutlets from bunch. Such conveyors and bucket elevators then transfer the fruit
to the pressing or extraction station.
Oil Extraction
The efficient extraction of crude oil from Tenera fruit has prescribed problems but these have
been overcome by the development of continuous screw press which is new used in all modern
factories.
52
The fruit from the stripper passes to digesters, which complete the breaking of the oil cells
with moving arms. Digesters have a capacity of above 3 cubic meters. The fruit mash then passes
to the screw presses which press the crude oil out through holes in the side of the press cake. The
pres cake which9 is discharged from yhe end of the press, contains the fibre and the nuts.
The three products separated in this section are :
a) The crude oil which consists of water, dirt and palm oil. This is passed to the purification
section.
b) Nuts : 14% of the FFB is separated by the depericarper and kernel plant for the recovery
of the kernals.
c) Fibre : approximately 15% of the FFB weight with moisture content of 37 %. The
residual oil content should be between 6% and 8% of oil to dry filers.
The filers should also retain as far as possible the phosphatides and other non glycosides
impurities. There fibre is conveyed to the extraction section is important. Unsatisfactory
practices such as excessive drainage of the crude oil before the extraction press leads not
only to purification problems and lasses but also to the higher absorption of iron by the
palm oil.
The importance of reducing the absorption of heavy metal, copper and iron is indicated by the
tobox value. For the production of superior quality palm oil stainless steel moving the wearing
parts should be used for extraction units.
Kernel Recoveries
The conditioning of the nuts starts in the sterilizer and the separation starts in the screw process.
After the screw the nuts and the fiber traverse a heated breaker conveyor which further separates
them and remove moisture from the fiber . The fiber and nuts then passes into a pneumatic
separating column called the “winnowing column‟‟ fitted wit IC damper in operation , depending
on the number of presses in operation . The fiber is blown into a cyclone close to the boiler and
the nuts which removes any attached dirt or fiber and tramps irons.
53
The nuts are conditioned in nut silos before being cracked centrifugal nutcrackers and in present
day ripple mills. After cracking , the cracked mixture is separated in the double winnowing
separating column for dry separating system or separated in hydro cyclones or clay baths.
These processes are wet. A modern clay bath separator is more efficient than a hydro cyclone
separator when processing more than 15% dura material in the cracked mixture. A supply of
suitable clay at the of approximately 450 kg to 100 tons of FFB is necessary for the clay
separator system. Bath systems depend upon the density of the shell being greater than the
density of the shell being greater than the denist of the kernals. The higher yield of palm kernel
compensates the addition cost of clay or kaolin required for the hydro-clay bath separate process.
The shell and kernels are washed and the kernels are passed to a kernel dryer to normalize the
moisture content of 7 % so as to minimize the development of FFA during storage and shipment.
It is also advantage to sterilizer the kernels before shipment of storage with steam at atmospheric
pressure. Kernel plants designed for Dura derived nuts are not suitable for the processing of
Tenera derived nuts. There have been a number of experimental designs, which have proved
failure. Caution and a wide experience are required in selection the proper equipment and design
for kernel recovery plant.
PlantOil Purification
The modern purification or oil clarification station is designed to recover and purify the the crude
oil as quickly as possible with the minimum heating and exposure to air. This is to minimize the
damage by the exposure of crude oil to air at high temperature. The major contribution to poor
quality oil is oxidation.
Oxidation measured by the totox value starts whether oil is above 60 degree
Celsius and exposed to air during processing, storage and shipment.
Crude oil does vary in compensation and therefore water dilution is a means of
stabilization to provide an accurate consistency of the CPO mixture before the classification
process. Therefore the selection and installation of the automatic dilution control is extremely
important.

Steam and Power Generator
Utilization of exiting of existing energy resources is indispensable not only for large industrial
process but also for small production plans, particularly for oil palm mills where the balance
between heat and power are required for the production process which is the pre-condition for a
combined “heat and power scheme” or commonly referred to as “co-generation system “ solid
waste fuel in the form of fuel in the form of filter and shells, which are by products of the
proceed are utilized as fuel for their bailer. This steam generated is used for the factory purpose.
Steam is required at an appropriate rate of 500 kg/hr/ton of FFB. The water for
steam production is obtained by building two dams across the nearby river. This water is
thoroughly purified in a dematerializing plant passing through two stages known as “Stroke
Acid” containing strong base which removes the ions present in the water. After this the water is
adjusted to a PH value of 8.5 taking care to prevent scale formulations along the internal tubes
and walls of the boiler and this not to damage them.
Steam is generated from the boiler at a pressure of 22kg/cm2 and at a temperature range of 235 -
265 degree Celsius . this pressure and temperature is higher than that required for the process.
First this is expanded in steam turbines. Sterilization of FFB and heating system in the process.
The energy released during the expansion of the steam is converted by the turbines into
mechanical power to drive an alternator.
Effluent Control
The total effluent is effluent is approximately 0.8 tones /tones of FFB, which is made up of 0.15
tones sterilizer content, 0.45 tones from the clarifier station, 0.08 tones from the Kernel plant and
0.12 tones from the process cleaning. The total liquid effluent will include the wash water . The
effluent is not toxic; but it has a Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) of above 25,000 which
makes it objectionable to dish life when introduced in relatively large quantities is water ways
acid rivers. The effluent is treated by a process, which required an area of 4 to 10 hectors. This
includes 65-75 days retention time in eight ponds after which the water is used for irrigation
purposes in the estate of the company.
55
Productivity & Capacity Utilization
The plant has a capacity to process up to 20 tons of FFB/Hr. However; the production of oil
varies according to the seasons, as oil palm is a seasonal crop. The period from February to July
is a peak season. Then they process up to 1173FFB/ week ton/day of oil \. In the lean season, ie
from August to January the production will be much less, may be 100 ton/month.
Warehouse
The company has got a warehouse for temporarily for producing crude palm oil before
companies winning the bid for it will collect it here will not more than 500 tons of oil in the
warehouse at a time as this will be periodically removed.
Distribution and Inventory Management
The company is not entered in oil refining so that there is always a bulk purchase of crude oil
from the company to other refining companies. There is no intermediary between the producer
and buyer.
Project Department
Project department is concerned with the development of new projects and research for it the
expansion of the company. It takes necessary step to formulate new plans for the fulfillment of
its vision is to expand the company‟s horizons. The verification of the viability of the project
and the execution of the same is maintained and controlled by the Senior Manager project.
