The process of palm oil purification trough Sludge separator serves to separate sludge and palm oil. This is an important process at the palm oil mill. The purpose of this research was to identify failure probabilities and reliability of sludge separator using failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA), and reliability block diagram (RBD). It was found that the sludge separator suffered severe damage and also frequent failure, the reliability before maintenance improvement is 17% and after applied some maintenance procedure correction achieved reliability 84.48%.
