Oil palm empty fruit bunch fiber: surface morphology
Oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) fibers are obtained from the empty fruit bunches by retting after the separation of fruits for oil production (Momoh and Osofero, 2020). Empty fruit bunches are the significant source of lignocellulosic biomass available at the palm oil mills.
(Hasanudin et al., 2015). Thus, following oil extraction processes, around 40% of the oil palm fruit remains as solid residual material consists of the OPEFB, shells, and fibers. While oil palm shells and fibers are already used in oil palm mills to generate power and heat required for oil palm fruit processing
Characterization of Empty Fruit Bunch of Palm Oil as Co
characteristics of EFB from the prox imate analysis revealed moisture content of 11.98%, ash content of 6.53%, volatile matter content of 65.15%, and fixed carbon content of. 16.44%. According to
been estimated that for every tonne of palm oil produced from a fresh fruit bunch, a corresponding amount of biowaste of approximately 1 tonne of empty fruit bunch (EFB), 0.7 tonnes of palm pressed fibers, 0.3 tonnes of palm kernel shells and 3.3 tonnes of palm oil mill effluent is generated [3]. These large amounts of processing residues if
Upgrading process of palm empty fruit bunches as alternative
Oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFBs) are the most significant waste generated by palm oil mills. For every 1 kg of CPO produced, 1 kg of OPEFBs is also produced as a solid waste residue. OPEFBs are bulky, brown and heterogeneous residues that are produced after sterilization and stripping of oil palm fruit bunches during CPO production.
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. This work proposed an integrated biorefinery configuration of EFB valorization considering sustainability pillars—namely, economic, environmental, and safety criteria. Techno-economic analysis, life cycle assessment, and hazard
A Comprehensive Review on Biofuels from Oil Palm Empty Bunch
Biomass is an important renewable energy resource which primarily contributes to heating and cooling end use sectors. It is also a promising alternative source of biofuels to replace the depleting supply of fossil fuels. Surprisingly, few writers have been able to draw on the feedstock significance for oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) as the biomass resource for biofuels compared to the other
The oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) represents Indonesian major agriculture crop, nevertheless, its cultivation and processing results in an excessive amount of waste biomass, namely, empty fruit bunches (EFB), which is not always properly processed or reused. Therefore, the present investigation was performed to attract wide public interest in proper waste management and reuse of waste
Formulation of biofertilizers from oil palm empty fruit
Among the oil palm biomass produced by the Malaysian oil palm industry, empty fruit bunches (EFB) comprise 20–22 percent of the solid by-products generated during palm oil production, making it the most notable waste produced by this colossal industry (Tahir et al., 2019, Han and Kim, 2018, Loh, 2017). Such oil palm waste production has
The carbon dioxide (CO 2) torrefaction of oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) pellets was investigated at various temperatures from 250 to 300°C and residence times from 15 to 60 minutes.
