Abstract

The digester unit at a palm oil factory is an operating unit with a chopper or loose crusher in the form of an upright cylindrical vessel that has a lining wall for heat retention equipped with a mixing knife or chopping arm inside. In the crushing process, heat is needed so that it is easier to crush loose fruit, the heat given to the crushing process will facilitate the breakdown of oil cells so that in the process of extracting oil by the screw press, maximum results are obtained. The energy balance method is applied to determine the amount of steam added to pulverize loose waste from the digester. From the calculation of the energy balance carried out in the process of pulverizing oil palm fruit at the palm oil mill, heat is obtained to the digester unit of 125,228.9808 kcal/hour or as much as 293.91392 kcal/hour at an inlet steam temperature of 125 ᵒC and the temperature of the material leaving the digester unit from 90ᵒC to 93 ᵒC.
