measured. This is intended to know or adjust ripple mill tightness; if it is too close together then there will be more broken nut and broken kernel resulted, but if it is too loose there will
be more whole nut. Nuts that have been broken into shell and kernel are then separated at winower LTDS;
shells will be sucked, whereas kernel will pass through it. Because there are shells still carried with kernel, separation is once again performed using hydro cyclone. Samples are
taken after hydro cyclone and before entering kernel silo. In the hydro shell sample is taken for broken kernel, with a standard of not higher than 1 percent. This is to know the extent of
broken kernel carried with shells.
b. Utility
Power plant Electricity is produced by 1 unit of 1400 KVA steam turbine. The turbine operates at 5208
rpm. The temperature of reduction gear bearings is measured and recorded periodically. During the audit it can be seen that generated electricity has good quality with its voltage at
380 V, frequency at 50 Hz and cos phi at 0.9 – 0.93.
Steam boiler There is 1 steam boiler with a capacity of 35 ton steam per hour. Steam boiler is operated
at 20 kgcm
2
pressure. This still complies with steam boiler permit, which is at 21 kgcm
2
. Soot blowing is conducted periodically and recorded. During the audit, Indomarine steam
boiler was frequently seen to emit soot. According to information from the organization this is due to a problem in a rotary feeder.
Based on records the quality of steam boiler water is checked routinely every 3 hours. For this purpose, water boiler is sampled. Parameters measured include ph that should be at
10.5 – 11.5 standard and Conductivity at 3000. Evidence shows that boiler is operated in
a safe manner. Based on boiler operator’s records the boiler combustion chamber is operated at a pressure of minus 2 up to minus 5.
BPV Back pressure vessel Back pressure vessel is used to store steam from the turbine to be used for other purposes,

Company conducted soil analysis on 5-17 December 2012 where the results will serve as a basic guidance in preparing fertilizing recommendation for 2013. Sampling was conducted
on soil located between palm trees with 0-15 cm and 15-45 cm deep. Sample for soil analysis was taken from 3 blocks, namely block C53, D58 and G35. Soil analysis result was
issued by Pekan Baru Chemical and Research Laboratory of PT SARANA INTI PRATAMA on 23 April 2013. Examples of soil analysis results at block C53 are: Ph 4.5, N total 0.04,
P-available 0.68ppm, K 0.08, Ca 0.20 and Mg 0.07 me100g. Company has conducted leaf analysis to determine one-year fertilizer requirement. There
is a record of analysis result of leaves sent to the chemical lab. – Research Department of
PT SARANA INTI PRATAMA on 27 June 2013 and completed on 15 July 2013 with Doc. No. 106423GBSMSKR-RDE-HOVI2013 totaled 125 samples.
Company has fertilizing recommendation as estate reference in applying fertilizer. But, data of block A15 shows that afd OA Estate 1 has applied 4000 kg fertilizer with fertilizer type of
Tap Com2 and dose 1.5 kgpkk; based on block A15 fertilizing recommendation the dose for that block should have been 1.75 kgpkk with total fertilizer of 6746.25 kg.
Company has planted legume cover crop LCC with a total of 1812.69 ha in 2006; 3780.72 hain 2007; 765.28 hain 2008; 2939.59 hain 2010; 3146.93 hain 2011; 1243.79 ha in 2012;
and 580.24 ha in 2013 until August. Company conducts soil fertility improvement through the application of empty fruit bunches
particularly on sandy soil. In January Company applied empty fruit bunches with a total of 24.2 tons on 1.19 ha land, in February it was 72.92 tons with total area of 3.61 ha, in July it
was 171.6 tons with total area of 8.58 ha. Dose of empty fruit bunch application is 40 tonha.

Company has built a water gate to maintain water level at 40-60 cm from the ground. There is a monitoring piezometer that is useful for knowing water level in the block; piezometer is
installed in Pasar Tengah block. For estate 2 it is conducted or monitored directly by assistant RD i.e. Mr. Deni. The record includes equipment no., block, planting year, date,
water level, condition of area and water level recommendation. 27 August 2013 monitoring shows the level of water was 95cm from the ground and recommended to raise the level by
20-30 cm. Marginal land, like sandy soil, is managed through empty fruit bunch application and LCC
planting.
