Abstract

The nursery main problem for palm oil nurseries is usually in irrigation which is often a clogging during irrigation for the plant. The project and this study focus more on clogging problems during irrigation. This thesis focuses on the issue of dripping system which is often a major problem for large-scale palm oil nurseries. In ensuring that pipeline flow has a major problem, this thesis introduces a method of District Metering Area (DMA) which is able to identify where the flow of pipes along a long flow in the nursery. Through this method, it capable to identify where a pipe flow has a clogging problem. This method can be applied by installing two pressure gauges at the upper flow and final flow area of the flow pipe. By installing these two pressure gauges, it capable to record the data for the flow rate and the pressure (bar) of a pipe flow. After collecting data for pipelines that are the main data to be the main graph for this experiment. Each dripping system installed must be tested in terms of flow rate for each dripping system installed. By collecting the data, we are able to draw conclusions as to where the occurrence of clogging or not on the long pipeline for a large nursery area.
