Observations were made at PT. XYZ with a mill capacity of 60 tons/hour. This study aims to analyze the mass balance and energy balance in the vacuum dryer unit in the crude palm oil (CPO) dryng process. The mass balance calculation was carried out based on the vacuum dryer capacity of 10 tons/hours, with a focus on the balance between amount of inlet and oulet materials, including composition of oil, water and NOS. from the analyzed data, it is known that the average water content is in the range of 0,19- 0.24%, with one data that meets the quality requirements of water content ≤ 0.2%. The drying process produces steam of 41.10kg/jam with the efficiency reaching 70%. Meanwhile, the calculation of the inlet and oulet energy balances has an average incoming energy of 215.040,43 kcal/hour and the energy required for dryng of 61.019,53 kcal/hour. These results demonstrate that vacuum dryer is efficient in maintaining mass and enegery balance and approaching the desired moisture content in the final product.
