Abstract

Industri kelapa sawit merupakan salah satu sektor strategis nasional dengan peluang hilirisasi yang sangat besar, terutama dalam pengolahan inti sawit menjadi Palm Kernel Oil (PKO). Penelitian ini bertujuan merancang pabrik PKO dengan kapasitas 375.000 ton per tahun untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pasar domestik maupun global yang terus meningkat, khususnya pada sektor pangan dan oleokimia.Metode perancangan yang digunakan adalah kombinasi ekstraksi mekanik (pre-pressing) dan ekstraksi kimia (solvent extraction) dengan menggunakan pelarut n-heksana. Pendekatan ini dipilih untuk mengoptimalkan perolehan minyak (yield) sekaligus menurunkan kadar sisa minyak dalam bungkil hingga kurang dari 1%. Hasilnya adalah PKO murni, sementara pelarut dapat digunakan kembali melalui sistem daur ulang (recycle).Berdasarkan analisis Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), lokasi pabrik dipilih di Provinsi Riau. Pemilihan ini didasarkan pada beberapa keunggulan strategis, seperti ketersediaan bahan baku inti sawit yang melimpah, dukungan infrastruktur pelabuhan ekspor di Kampar, serta pasokan energi listrik yang relatif stabil. Secara teknis, pabrik dirancang untuk beroperasi secara kontinyu dengan kapasitas pengolahan sebesar 37,500 ton/tahun. Perancangan ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi signifikan dalam meningkatkan nilai tambah produk turunan kelapa sawit di Indonesia serta menjadi acuan teknis dalam pengembangan industri pengolahan inti sawit skala besar di masa mendatang.

the The palm oil industry is one of the national strategic sectors with significant downstream potential, particularly in processing palm kernel into Palm Kernel Oil (PKO). This study aims to design a PKO plant with a capacity of 375,000 tons per year to meet the increasing demand in both domestic and global markets, especially in the food and oleochemical sectors. The design method employed combines mechanical extraction (pre-pressing) and chemical extraction (solvent extraction) using n-hexane as the solvent. This approach is selected to optimize oil yield while reducing the residual oil content in the meal to below 1%. The process results in pure PKO, while the solvent can be recovered and reused through a recycling system. Based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) analysis, the plant location is selected in Riau Province. This decision is supported by several strategic advantages, including abundant availability of palm kernel raw materials, supporting export port infrastructure in Kampar, and a relatively stable electricity supply.From a technical perspective, the plant is designed to operate continuously with a processing capacity of 37,500 tons per year. This design is expected to contribute significantly to increasing the added value of palm oil derivatives in Indonesia and to serve as a technical reference for the development of large-scale palm kernel processing industries in the future.
