Abstract [en]

The Sungai Terah Palm Oil Mill was tasked with creating a spray drying process for drying of palm oil mill effluent based on a study conducted byThe Malaysian Palm Oil Board. The process does not work and the goal of this report was to identify the problem and recommend possible changes.This has been done through conducting a trial run, a literature study and performing thermodynamic and kinetic calculations. The results show that to reach the goal of drying 14 litres of effluent per minute the process needs a minimum of 633 kW through an increased throughput of heated air to 4.7m3/s. Additionally, the height of the drying chamber is estimated to need an increase to 8 metres. Other suggestions are also presented.

Abstract [sv]

Palmoljefabriken Sungai Terah Palm Oil Mill fick i uppdrag att skapa en process som använder en sprejtork för att torka utsläppet från palmoljeproduktionen, baserat på en studie från The Malaysian Palm Oil Board. Processen fungerar inte och målet med denna rapport var att identifiera problemet och rekommendera möjliga lösningar. Detta har gjorts genom att genomföra ett fabriksexperiment, en litteraturstudie och termodynamiska och kinetiska beräkningar. Resultaten visar att processen kräver minst 633 kW genom ett luftflöde på 4.7 m3/s för att uppnå målet av att torka 14 liter utsläppper minut. Dessutom har höjden på sprejtorkens kammare uppskattats behöva öka till 8 meter. Andra förslag ges också.
