Empty Fruit Bunch Usage

The need for empty fruit bunch efb composting treatment one of the most significant by products in terms of quantity of the palm oil milling process is the empty fruit bunch with one ton of fresh fruit producing.

Empty fruit bunch usage. Efb commonly has a high moisture content which lowers the combustion temperature and reduces energy efficiency. Malaysia has a ready source of biomass in empty fruit bunches efb conveniently collected and available for exploitation in all palm oil mills. Hence it has been verified in engineering properties and construction products made from efb satisfy the requirement of consumers trend using products made from eco friendly and natural waste. Empty fruit bunch fibres and pellet offer a cost effective high energy biomass fuel suitable for most boiler grating systems.

Empty fruit bunches efb is becoming a popular source of fuel for renewable energy re power generation. Efb that used to be disposed of as waste has recently been used as fuel as quantities have increased. The project will utilize the empty fruit bunch efb from palm oil mill to produce green electricity and help to increase the electricity supply in aceh tamiang. This study therefore examined the utilization of empty fruit bunch efb as an alternative fuel for firing a steam turbine plant for the production of electricity.

In the process of extracting crude palm oil cpo from fresh fruit bunch ffb it produces not only palm oil mill effluent pome but also produced empty fruit bunches efb. Efb commonly has a high moisture content which lowers the combustion temperature and reduces energy efficiency. However in 2016 the use of incinerator was banned and resulting in efb piled up at the plant area. Empty fruit bunch efb are applied to the field as organic fertilizer.

Efb empty fruit bunch is one of such solid waste generated in oil palm planted throughout malaysia over 4 million hectares land which remains unutilised commercially. Therefore a drying process should be incorporated when designing an efb power plant. The rapid depletion of fossil fuel and most developed nations are pursuing the development of biomass as an alternative method of power generation. Empty fruit bunch efb is a kind of biomass formed during the production process of palm oil.

The efb was previously burnt using incinerator as means of disposal. Empty fruit bunch efb composting treatment is proving to be an effective method to reduce production costs in the palm oil industry by maximizing the usage of by products. Empty fruit bunch also known as efb is an excellent biomass fuel choice for the large power plant and centralised steam boilers with immediate advantages of lower cost for a little less calorific value. The reclamation of energy from the by product of palm fresh fruit bunch pffb after processing into palm oil can be seen as an alternative to fossil fuel.
