PALM OIL MILL DESIGN - POWER STATION

Key points to consider for design of Power Station ;
  • fibre - 19% of FFB @ moisture 38% @ 8,460 Btu/lbs
  • shell - 6% of FFB @ moisture 15% @ 8,910 Btu/lbs
  • mixed fibre & shell - 25% of FFB @ 6,000 Btu/lbs
  • empty bunch - 20% of FFB @ moisture 60% @ 7,560 Btu/lbs
  • turbine steam consumption - 25 kg/KWh
  • power generated by steam turbine - 17 KW / MT FFB
  • steam for sterilisation - 600 lbs / MT FFB
  • steam for processing - 360 lbs / MT FFB
  • steam losses - 0.50% / MT FFB
  • steam turbine efficiency - 80%
  • boiler efficiency - 90%
  • mill steam requirement - 0.60 MT / MT FFB
  • 1 kg fuel (25% mixed fibre & shell) - 3.5 kg steam
