Analysis of Liquid Smoke Production Process From Palm Shell With Integrated Pyrolysis Method

Abstract

The process of producing liquid smoke can be done by various methods. In this study, an analysis of the condensation of liquid smoke has been carried out using a refrigeration system with two different types of fluids, namely water and air, to obtain maximum results. The raw material used is palm shells which are crushed to a mesh size of -3+4, with a pyrolysis temperature of 300-400C, and a cooling fluid temperature of 10-15C. The results show that the process of producing liquid smoke by condensing using cold air cooling media is more productive. The products of the integrated pyrolysis process produced by condensation using cold air as a cooling medium are liquid smoke, charcoal and gas with percentages of 23.85%, 69.82% and 6.33%, respectively. It can be added that the products produced by condensation using cold water as a cooling medium are liquid smoke, charcoal and gas with percentages of 19.05%, 62.78% and 18.17%, respectively.
