Solid biomass fuel is produced from bio-valorization of palm oil mill effluent (POME) and empty fruit bunch (EFB) through the fermentation and drying process.
Key Features
High calorific energy value (27-30 MJ/kg), as compared to commercially available pellet ( 17-20 MJ/kg).
Low moisture content (below 5%).
Low silica content to reduce/eliminate boiler corrosion.
Benefits
Utilisation of voluminous palm oil wastes t o produce value-added product.
Sustainable and renewable; aligned with SDG 6, 7, 12, and 13.
Potential Application
Burning material in boiler to generate energy with high calorific energy value.
