Penentuan Kadar Asam Lemak Bebas pada Storage Tank dan Kadar Air pada Vct, Oil Tank, Fatfit Tank di PTPN III Sei Silau-Asahan.

Abstract

Observational studies have been done a long time accumulation of CPO against free fatty acid levels in the storage tanks and the water content in the VCT tanks, oil tanks, tank fatfit in palm oil mills PTPN III Sei glare. Observations were made directly in the laboratory to analyze samples of crude palm oil (CPO) in the storage tank and take some quality parameters as objects to be analyzed, namely fatty acid levels bebaskadar free fatty acids in the storage tank and the water content in the VCT tanks, oil tanks, fatfit tank. ALB levels were measured using acid-base titration method, while the water content was determined using gravimetric methods. The analysis results obtained for ALB highest levels by 5.14% (on day 5). For the highest water levels in tanks VCT 0.96% (on day 5) the highest water content in the oil tank 0.73% (on day 5). Fat-fit tank to a high of 0.61% (on day 5) It is caused by several factors influencing the decline in palm oil quality is the quality of the fruit is processed, mixing system daily production, as well as the temperature of the tank.
