1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION TO CARGILL
1.1.1 Background of Cargill
Cargill is an international company which is founded in 1865 which now employs about
153, 000 people in 66 countries. This is a privately held company where there is four major
marketing. The main marketing area is producer and marketer of food, agricultural, financial
and industrial.
Cargill Palm Products with three Palm oil refineries located at Port Klang, West Port
and Kuantan.
Cargill Texturizing Solutions business located in Kuala Lumpur.
Global IT Support Services for selected Cargill businesses worldwide
Cargill acquired its palm oil and fats operation in 1991 and upgraded the plant facilities.
Currently there are six production plant and eight packaging lines in this factory. These six
production plant includes two refineries (Lurgi and Multistock), two fractionation process
plant (Palm Oil Fractionation and Palm Kernel Oil Fractionation) and two hydrogenation
process plant (Hydro 1 & Hydro 2) while the packaging lines varies by the amount of the
edible oil in the specific container.
Products ranging from palm oil based bakery fats for use in the baking and frying
industries, value added bulk refined oils, packaged palm products and specialty fats and oils
are delivered to customers at hundreds of destinations in over thirty countries around the
world. (Products & Services: Cargill Corporation, 2007).
2. BACKGROUND OF PROJECT
2.1 PROBLEM STATEMENT
The main problem in this current situation is the capacity of the hot condensate water
tank. Due to smaller capacity of tank, the amount of hot water in the tank is also lesser. The
balance condensate water overflows to the drain although there is level switch. This is
because the level switch is not start to operate yet. Furthermore, steam from the condensate is
not trapped so it escapes into the atmosphere. Indirectly, the hot condensate water and steam
are being wasted.
Besides that, in POF plant, steam is being used to melt the stearin cake. This
consumed some amount of steam which produced by the boiler. Steam is one of the utility
that a company needs to save because it cost high too. The steam which flows in the steam
coil flows all the time except during the plant shut down or some other failure on the
membrane press.
2.2 PROJECT OBJECTIVE
The objective of this project is to save energy by reducing the steam consumption in the
plant and recycle the hot condensate water from the plant. The task for this project divided to
two where the first task is to construct additional hot water coil and the second task is to
construct a new hot condensate water tank.
2.3 BACKGROUND
2.3.1 Palm Oil Fractionation (POF) operation
Palm Oil Fractionation (POF) plant operates to fractionate the palm oil to Palm
Stearin and Palm Olein oil. This operation starts from crystallization process and followed by
the squeeze process by membrane press. In the squeezing process, membrane press will
squeeze the (Refined Bleached Deodorized) RBD palm oil with respective pressure. During
that process, the Olein oil will flow to the entire small pipeline along the membrane press and
store at the Olein Tank. While the stearin cake, will trap in between both hard and soft
membrane. Once the process is done, the membranes will be released one by one, so that the
trapped stearin cake will drop below by gravity fall into the stearin tank. In order to transfer
the stearin oil to the respective tank, it will be melted by supplying steam into the steam coil
at the bottom of the tank.
2.3.2
Condensate Recovery
The Hot Condensate Water tank collects the condensate water from most of the
equipment from Hydro Plant, Multistock and POF plant. It also connected to a pump at the
bottom of the tank to supply the water to POF, Hydro 1&2, Pilot plant and water reservoir.
The main reason the condensate water is supplied to those plants is for washing purpose
while another pipeline connected to the water reservoir to avoid overflow from the tank. The
entire valve at the output header is manually controlled. Although the tank is insulated but
currently it is at bad condition where the water is leaking from the tank and pump. Besides
that the condensate steam is being wasted by escaping from the top of the tank. The
condensate tank is designed in cylindrical shape and the length of the tank is 3.1m with
diameter is 1.2m. In addition, there are also both high and medium level switch fixed at the
tank but it has not start to operate yet.
2.4 PROJECT WORK
2.4.1 Proposed Design
There are several ideas that can be implemented to solve this problem especially the
ways to reduce the steam consumption in the stearin tank. The basic criteria that need to
consider are to save energy, project cost and the payback. There are few types of equipment
or devices that are been used for this type of project such as automated control valve and
turflow heat exchanger.
i) Automated Control Valve
A basic control system usually consists of control valves, actuators, controllers and
sensors. The control system of valve works as below:
Interface with a computer to alter the control functions, and perform diagnostic
routines.
Modify the valve movements to alter the characteristics of the control valve.
Final Design
In order to solve this problem, the team came out with a solution after considering all
the factors. The author assists the team to design the structure and do general calculation of
the heat needed for stearin to melt. The project work can be divided to two parts which is the
hot water tank and hot water coil. The figure below shows the process flow of this idea:
a) New Hot Water Tank
Since the condition of the current condensate water is bad and the capacity is small,
the team proposed to construct a new tank with 44% larger capacity with insulated. The
original length and diameter of the tank is 3m and 1m, so the volume is 2.36 m3.
b) Hot Water Coil
The proposed idea is to construct a new hot water coil. This is because, the steam
consumption in stearin tank can be reduced by implementing this idea. At the same time,
the condensate water will be used for some useful purpose instead of washing purpose.
Since the current steam coil is designed to be used for steam so a new coil is planned to
be construct above the steam coil with the appropriate design, so that can be used for
water. According to the calculation, the heat needed is 82.36 kW to convert the
temperature of stearin from 25C to 60C. In order to achieve the temperature of stearin
to 60C, the flow rate of the water should be 2353.1367 kg/hr. To meet this requirement,
the surface area of coil needs to be considered to design it accordingly.
According to the project objective, the hot water is recycled back to the Hot
Condensate Tank where there is also incoming condensate from the plant. This will
cause overflow in Hot Condensate Tank if this matter is not taken serious.
Therefore it is proposed to install three level switches in the Hot Condensate Tank
ii.
which is to sense the maximum level and minimum level. When the fluid inside the
Hot Condensate Tank reach the maximum level, the switch will send the signal to the
3 way Control Valve to open and close back when the fluid reach the minimum level.
e) Installation of a Heat Exchanger
Since there will be steam release from the Hot Condensate Tank, the team propose to
install a Heat Exchanger on top of Hot Condensate Tank so that the steam or hot vapour
will heat up the water which flow from the stearin tank coil and flow back to Hot
Condensate Tank.
Details:
Type of Heat Exchanger: Turflow Heat Exchanger
f) Hot Water Pump Installation
Type
: Centrifugal Pump

Core objective of the project is recover energy and steam to reduce energy
consumption in the membrane press unit. Thus, the project was divided into two major parts,
as shown in Figure 7, notably Condensate Tank Reinstallation and Heating Coil Re-design.
The first part is removing the old tank and reinstalling a new condensate tank to store more
hot water (refer Figure 2 Flow Diagram in Chapter 3). This requires huge cooperation from
the EHS Department and Engineering Department. Both of these departments will run
through and contended to supervise the whole procedure to ensure the project is under
control.
Besides that, the second part in executing the project plan is to re-design and install
pipelines across the new Condensate Tank and heating coil of the Stearin Tank. As
aforementioned, this procedures requires the cooperation of most of the departments but
mainly dealt by Process Department, EHS Department and Contractors. These departments
will ensure the safety of the jobs and at the same time monitor the process of contruction of
pipes and installation of the new tank. The main objective is to test the installed equipments
and inspect it for any faultiness. Apart from that, retuning to the process flow safely from the
test run period is also crucial.

Manager, concerning collective and personal protection
To use in a proper way machinery, equipment, tools, hazardous substances and
preparations, means of transport and other work equipment, as well as safety devices.
Subcontractors
The subcontractors must be previously authorised. In this case Cargill must transmit to him
the information and dispositions received from the Customer. Subcontractor Company
cooperate to the actuation of prevention and precaution measures against work injuries risks,
concerning the activity object of the Contract.
Operatively, each Subcontractor must:
Arrange a specific Safety Plan before starting works, compatible and integral to EHS
Manual
Inspect regularly Site areas, when the Site is open, to find eventual presence of hazard
conditions and propose/carry out immediately necessary corrective actions.
43
Precautions from the workplace hazards are important factors when an individual
working in a plant especially as they will exposed to various dangerous and hazardous
situations. Lack of knowledge on safety or HSE rules can cause serious and deadly
accidents or health problems, such as;
Table 11: List of safety rules.
SOURCE
Accidents happen due to faulty electrical installations
(cables, plugs, equipment)
44
CAUSES
shock and burns
fires
ignition of potentially
flammable
explosive atmospheres
uneven, potholed
sloped or slippery surfaces
slips and trips
unhealthy situations
(cough, sneezing, flu)
All the employees of the plant (CARGILL) that deals with this project directly should
undergo safety training, operation and maintenance practices, so they have the basic
safety and operation knowledge on how to deal with machines and equipments. Only
authorized and trained personnel (technicians, engineers and etc) permitted to operate
machinery or equipment at any time (including during all the phases of the project).
HANDLING OF HEAVY LOADS BY LIFTING MACHINE/WORKERS
Most of the working environments, manual handling the loads by workers can cause
cumulative disorders due to gradual and cumulative deterioration of the musculoskeletal
system through continuous lifting/ handling activities besides causing low back pain and
acute-trauma (cuts, fractures due to accidents). The factors causes those injuries to the
workers can be summarized as below:
Due to the high risk, CARGILL require the employers to carry out risk assessments and
take action to protect workers from the risks of manual handling where the prevention
measures include:
employer
providing information and training to workers on tasks, and the use of equipment
and correct handling techniques
Besides that there are some guidelines when lifting load from ground level which are:
place the feed close to the load almost 8-12 inches apart (when lifting maybe
using a ground fault circuit interrupter (GCFI), an electrical device which protects
personnel by detecting potentially hazardous ground faults and quickly
disconnecting power from the circuit. As can be seen, from this project, the
electrical technicians dealt with lots of electric matters whenever a new
Condensate Tank being installed and during the modification of the Fractionation
Column
Most of common accidents occur regarding to Electrical aspect will be electrical shock,
the cause of this incidents because of the current that passes through human body exceeds
the allowable limit, below shows the detailed explanation of the effects from electrical

WORKING AT HEIGHT
Basically work above 2 meters used to be considered the height from which persons
should be protected from falling and the statistics also proves that many major injuries
result from falls from heights of less than 2 meters. Especially for this project, the
membrane fractionation column is located in a higher place which required the
technicians to work in a place which is higher than 2 meters. Physical barriers are the
preferred method of preventing a person/ individual from falling from height and example
of physical barriers can be said as Edge Protection Systems and Fall Protection
Systems.
Table 13: List of physical barrier method.

Besides treating the individuals who injured with the First Aid box, there is another
method of helping an individual who passed out in the spot which is CPR and this contain
main 3 components in performing CPR; Airway, Breathing and Circulation (known as
ABC technique). An important factor here is blocked airway can quickly lead to
suffocation and possibly cause death.

Energy and Steam Recovery Project in Palm Oil Fractionation Membrane Press, it is viable
that this project is carried out because of the long term benefit which is obtained. While
performing this project, the tasks were well distributed equally to the technical and non
technical departments. Proper coordination and organization is on both departments to ensure
the goal of the project is achieved on time. The project consists of 2 major parts which are the
Condensate Tank Reinstallation and Heating Coil Re-design. The technical department could
be divided into the Engineering Team and the Environmental, Health and Safety Team. The
technical department handles mostly on the hands-on, designing, maintenance and installation
works which is carried out throughout the period of the project. The technical team are
involved in most of the work from identifying the problem statement, research, project
proposal, finding possible alternatives as a solution, selecting the best solution, executing the
solution and maintenance. This clearly reflects on the importance of having the technical
department in the plant. The non-technical department are equally as important as the
technical department, but it is not involved as often as the technical team. The non-technical
department includes the Financial Team and the Procurement Team. The non-technical
department is entangled with jobs like handling the budget, finance cash flow throughout the
project and looking for feasible contractor tenders that would help get the project done on
time. The tasks that are carried out by the non-technical department are mostly objected to
support the technical department to achieve the project goal on time. Basically the success of
a project lies on the proper communication and task coordination from the technical and nontechnical department. To ensure that the work flow of both departments is smooth,
supervisors are appointed to monitor the progress of each department. The Project Manager is
appointed to monitor the progress of the technical and non-technical department to ensure
that the goal of the project is reached on time. Gantt Charts and proper work breakdowns are
planned and done to be set as guidelines to all the staffs involved in the project to make sure
that the project is completed on time.

come up with cost estimation or in other word overall project budget, to give a guideline on
the finance that would be required to get the project done. It is just an estimation of the cost,
where the real cost could differ from the estimation due to time and other needs. However the

condensate tank and heating coil, it involves a lot of heavy and hands-on work. This
would probably cause some accidents that might be fatal and leave behind severe
injuries. The Environmental, Health and Safety team is required to analyze the hazards
that could occur and set up proper Standard Operating Procedures that could be the guide
for everyone workers present in the project field to maintain a safe and healthy work
station. The Environmental, Health and Safety team had to set up a few general rules
when carrying out certain works procedures in the project field. Most of tasks requires

8.0 RECOMMENDATION
6.41
6.42
There are few recommendations that is indentified in this project that could further
improve the productivity of the plant and could also safe the costs. The suggested
recommendations are as follows:
1) Reuse steam coil
6.43
The same steam coil could be used instead of fabricating a new once for the hot water,
but with certain improvements like connecting the hot water to flow into the coil. If the
hot water flown is not sufficient to melt the cake, the hot water could be replaced with the
steam flow with a little adjustment on the valve. But at the steam line, it is advised to fix
a check valve so that the hot water will not flow into the steam pipeline which will affect
the steam pipeline in most of the plants.
2) Use a smaller tank.
6.44
A smaller hot water tank is fabricated which has the capacity that suits the amount and
flow rate of the hot water needed to melt the Stearin. This can save cost on fabricating a
larger tank.

energy by reducing the steam consumption in the plant and recycle the hot condensate water
from the plant. Moreover, by doing this project, we have gained some important knowledge
on Project Management where we have learned about work breakdown, cost estimation,
safety issues and work schedule in completing a project. Besides that, this project has
managed to cultivate good team work among the members of the group in order to complete
the project together as a team. Team work is very essential in an organization. Furthermore,
this project gives good exposure to the students so that they are aware with a real situation of
working life where many things need to be taken into consideration including obeying the
companies rule and also the Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) implementation.
