KARAKTERISTIK SERAT TANDAN KOSONG KELAPA SAWIT (TKKS) DENGAN PERLAKUAN PEREBUSAN DAN PENGUKUSAN
Abstrak: Empty Fruit Bunches
(EFB) is a byproduct of the processing of palm oil utilization is still
limited. One Palm Oil Mill (POM) in South Kalimantan, with a production
capacity of 800 tons/day can produce 176 tonnes of EFB/day. In Indonesia, oil
palm empty fruit bunches be used as paper pulp, fiberboard and furniture filler
material volume. The aim of this study was to analyze the characteristics and
fiber yield as a byproduct of industrial EFB CPO (Crude Palm Oil). The method
used in this study is the experimental method with a Randomized Block Design
(RBD) single factor. Namely the treatment of boiling, steaming and without
treatment (control), each of which carried 9 repetitions.Results showed that
the EFB fiber characteristics which include tensile strength, density, length
and diameter did not significantly affect the treatment of color while boiling
and steaming. EFB fiber yield obtained does not affect the treatment of boiling
and steaming.
