In the palm oil industry, biocalatyst is a game-changing technology that benefits palm oil mills and addresses many of the challenges in the palm oil extraction process. Also known as enzymes, they are sensitive to temperature and pH, and act only on their specific reactants, unlike inorganic catalysts.
The REMOX dosing control system is designed to ensure consistent biocatalyst dosing onto palm fruit to improve CPO yield during the fruit press process. Automation facilitates precise dosing of the biocatalyst, ensuring a sustainable and cost-effective solution for our client.
Solutions
- System is fitted with an OMRON PLC and REMOX monitoring system as the palm oil mill is hours away from a major town in Sabah.
- Due to the precision of the dose required, the 4-20mA output system used is 14-bit in resolution to ensure that the system control the dose down to the smallest volume possible.
- The Grundfos dosing pump also comes with built-in totalizer which enables the information to be relayed back to the panel using Modbus without loss of precision.
- Mass flow signal is relayed to the PLC to allow the system to do a proper proportional dosing based on the plant running capacity.
- A level sensor is also installed on the biocatalyst tank to allow system to trigger an alarm when the system is running out of catalyst to dose.
