| dc.description.abstract | Indonesia has great potential for developing coconut-based derivative products,
especially in North Sumatra, which is one of the regions with the highest coconut
production. One of its leading products is Crude Coconut Oil (CCO), which is widely
utilized across various industries. Compared to other vegetable oils, CCO possesses
high economic and functional value. The increasing domestic demand for CCO
encourages the need for a more efficient and high-quality production process, such as
the Direct Micro Expelling (DME) method, which produces high-quality oil without
requiring a fermentation stage as in conventional methods.
The preliminary design of a CCO plant using the DME process has a capacity
of 7,000 tons per year and operates 330 days annually. The plant is planned to be
located on vacant land in West Nias Regency, North Sumatera Province. The objective
of this plant design is to apply chemical engineering principles, including mass and
energy balances, equipment specifications, chemical process operations, process
design, utilities, and other aspects of chemical engineering.
