      abstract = {This research work focuses on the Digester unit processes in Adapalm oil mill and considers what could be done to improve the dwindling production state and its environmental impact, on host Communities on one hand, and how it has kept the company almost moribund. A study of the existing digesters was done to find out the reason(s) for low productivity in the company. Models were developed. MATLAB software was used to analyse the models so as to arrive at optimal production in the system. The result of the analysis showed that the digesters, having exceeded their lifespan which is evident in the Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF), must be replaced and proper maintenance attitude inculcated henceforth. It is believed that when this is done, the entire system will be operating at its optimal state, a cleaner environment will also be achieved, leading to overall productivity improvement.},
