These processes have a deep impact on the amount and composition of waste water (POME). Compared to conventional palm oil mills the total amount of palm oil mill effluent (POME) can be
One of the emerging biomass resource that can help to solve these issues is EFB pellets from oil palm biomass. EFB utilization. Traditionally, EFB are not used efficiently and

EFB, a solid residue which accounts for 20% of the fresh fruit weight [8], is one of the palm biomass produced in abundance (4.42 t ha 鈭? y 鈭? [7]) after oil extraction at palm oil mills.
Conventional palm oil mills are considerable polluters of the environment and do not follow the principles of sustainability (Anonym, 2003; 2005). In EFFECT OF NEW PALM OIL MILL
Progressive Academic PublishingUTILIZATION OF PALM EMPTY FRUIT BUNCH (PEFB)
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. This study therefore examined the utilization
Empty fruit bunch (EFB) utilization to produce valuable bio-chemicals is seen as an economical and sustainable alternative to waste management in palm oil industries.

These processes have a deep impact on the amount and composition of waste water (POME). Compared to conventional palm oil mills the total amount of palm oil mill effluent (POME) can be
Abstract: Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq) is a part of the family of Arecaceae, which originated from West Africa. Oil palm can be grown in the tropics of Asia, Africa, and Central and South America.
Pulp and paper production from oil palm
In Malaysia, one of the abundant non-wood materials for pulp and paper production is empty fruit bunch (EFB) from the oil palm. The EFB is the main fibrous residue and natural fibre which has
Empty fruit bunches (EFB) are valuable palm oil mill waste that could be used to produce multiple products in the form of energy, chemicals, and materials.
Composting of waste from palm oil mill: A
Dec 1, 2010Malaysia is blessed with abundant natural resources and bears a favorable climate for commercial cultivation of crops such as oil palm. In Malaysia the total plantation area of oil palm
This paper investigates literature on the status of utilization of EFB, by-products from palm oil mills in order to identify the best available technological process to use EFB as bio-solid
Oil palm frond as a sustainable and promising biomass source
The generated oil palm biomass includes empty fruit brunch (EFB), palm kernel shell, oil palm trunk (OPT), oil palm frond (OPF), palm oil mill effluent (POME), and mesocarp fiber.
EFB, a solid residue which accounts for 20% of the fresh fruit weight [8], is one of the palm biomass produced in abundance (4.42 t ha 鈭? y 鈭? [7]) after oil extraction at palm oil mills.

Across the whole Malaysia alone there are more than 400 crude palm oil mills. In this project, the EFB pellet plant is built beside a palm oil mill where the palm empty fruit bunches is abundant and
Malaysia as a major palm oil exporter, contributed about 51% of world's palm oil production in 2010 (Mohammed et al., 2011; Nursulihatimarsyila et al., 2012). In the same year,
- What are new palm oil mill processes?
- New palm oil mill processes are characterized by advanced oil separation technologies with zero dilution water (‘ECO-D’ for example as a new system for oil recovery without dilution water) and continuous sterilization of the fresh fruit bunch (FFB). These processes have a deep impact on the amount and composition of waste water (POME).
- Can waste biomass from palm oil mill be used for bio-pellet fuel?
- Conclusions The main aim of performed investigation was to determine the suitability of waste biomass from palm oil mill, i.e., primarily composed of oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB), for the production of bio-pellet fuel.
- Can palm oil mills produce a sustainable process with 'zero waste'?
- With the process of mulch or compost production from EFB in combination with POME or ECO-D slurry (with or without anaerobic fermentation with biogas production before) it is possible to realize a sustainable process in palm oil mills with ‘zero waste’. ANONYM (2003).
- How much EFB is produced from palm oil?
- One of the abundant residues is empty (FFB). An estimate reveals that the EFB produced is 22% of the palm oil [ ]. However, on the positive ]. In the current practice, waste management of EFB use from palm environmental issue [10 – 16].
- Are palm oil mills sustainable?
- Compared to conventional palm oil mills (type A) the investment cost can be reduced up to 35%. With the process of mulch or compost production from EFB in combination with POME or ECO-D slurry (with or without anaerobic fermentation with biogas production before) it is possible to realize a sustainable process in palm oil mills with ‘zero waste’.
- How can palm oil mill effluent be reduced?
- Compared to conventional palm oil mills the total amount of palm oil mill effluent (POME) can be reduced from 0.65 m 3 t -1 FFB to 0.45 m 3 t -1 (conventional sterilization and zero dilution water) and 0.25 m 3 t -1 (continuous sterilization and zero dilution water). These changes influence the treatment processes and its cost significantly.
