Identification criteria and indicators of palm oil industrial liquid waste processing technology

Abstract

Every year the development of the palm oil industry continuously. Crude palm oil (CPO) and palm kernel oil (PKO) are processed in the palm oil industry. Comparison of the amount of oil produced with the product produced is 30% of the raw material, so that 70% of the processed oil will be solid or liquid waste. The development of the palm oil industry then result in an increase in the amount of waste that will be produced. The amount of waste that will be produced by the oil palm industry if not handled properly and effectively will result in a significant damage to the environment which is dangerous. Oil palm industry activities that are processed starting from raw materials to producing finished products will disrupt the environment of people around the plant because of the waste and engine noise that occurs. There are many alternative technologies available to process the palm oil industry, the problem is that it is difficult to determine the right technology. This study can explain the application of various criteria analysis (MCA) in assessing indicators and criteria for palm oil waste that occur both solid and liquid in the palm oil industry. These methods are used when participatory decision making will be carried out by experts representing various stakeholders and professionals in their fields using their opinions and analysis and expert opinions in assessing various criteria and indicators (C & I).
