  • How is the palm oil industry in Malaysia?
  • Almost 70% of the volume from the processing of fresh fruit bunch is removed as wastes in the form of empty fruit bunches, palm kernel shells, palm oil mill effluent etc. With more than 451 mills in Malaysia, this palm oil industry generate around 100 million dry tonnes of biomass.
  • What is a palm oil refinery?
  • The refinery is integrated with the palm oil mill and kernel crushing plant, both located within an oil palm plantation. This strategically designed integrated complex offers significant advantages, including cost-effective processing, improved raw material management, and stringent quality control for all products.
