A STUDY RANKING OF ALTERNATIVE ENERGY FACTORS FOR THE FOOD PRODUCTION INDUSTRY GROUP VIA USING ANALYTICAL HIERARCHY PROCESS (AHP)

Abstract

At present, the world has faced the problem of global warming. And the heat is increasing every year as a result of the flue gas pollution. Caused by being released from the activities of human beings, especially in the activities in the food manufacturing industry that uses fuel energy including various processes within the food manufacturing industry that causes pollution as mentioned above is very much. Therefore, it is increasingly important to bring clean energy into industrial processes. From the study in this research, the focus is to study the alternatives of biomass energy with quality and potential. By choosing to use renewable energy from palm bunches to be used as a substitute for fuel oil use. and study the overview of palm oil and palm oil industry Cultivated area The area with the production and quantity of oil palm of the country renewable power generation instead of using fuel oil Including the development and improvement of the energy potential database to be up-to-date. Convenient to use, etc. From this research, the results of the research were analyzed using the Expert Choice program. The calculations were made using the analytical hierarchical process technique to determine the alternative energy weight. Importance under the power factor price factor quality factor service factor and maintenance factors the mean weights of the factors could be summed up as 0.42, 0.21, 0.27, 0.17 and 0.15, respectively, and the weights of the factors in alternative energy from palm shells, wood chips, sawdust, shavings, biomass briquettes, and others. The weight of alternatives can be summed up as 2.81, 1.94, 1.88, 1.73 and 1.64, respectively. The results obtained from using the AHP hierarchy are applied to the choice of alternative energy in the food manufacturing industry.
