Palm kernel shells (or PKS) are the shell fractions left after the nut has been removed after crushing in the Palm Oil mill. Kernel shells are a fibrous material and can be easily handled in bulk directly from the product line to the end use. Large and small shell fractions are mixed with dust-like fractions and small fibres.
Moisture content in kernel shells
is low compared to other biomass residues with different sources
suggesting values between *1% and *3%. Palm kernel shells contain
residues of Palm Oil, which accounts for its slightly higher
heating value than average lignocellulosic biomass. Compared to
other residues from the industry, it is a good quality biomass fuel
with uniform size distribution, easy handling, easy crushing, and
limited biological activity due to low moisture content.
Press fibre and shell generated by the palm oil mills are traditionally used as solid fuels for steam boilers. The steam generated is used to run turbines for electricity production. These two solid fuels alone are able to generate more than enough energy to meet the energy demands of a palm oil mill. Most palm oil mills in the region are self-sufficient in terms of energy by making use of kernel shells and mesocarp fibers in cogeneration. The demand for palm kernel shells has increased considerably in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand resulting in price close to that of coal. Nowadays, cement industries are using palm kernel shells to replace coal mainly because of CDM benefits.
The problems associated with the
burning of these solid fuels are the emissions of dark smoke and
the carry-over of partially carbonized fibrous particulates due to
incomplete combustion of the fuels can be tackled by
commercially-proven technologies in the form of high-pressure
boilers. Dual-fired boilers capable of burning either diesel oil or
natural gas are the most suitable for burning palm Oil waste since
they could also facilitate the use of POME-derived biogas as a
supplementary fuel. However, there is a great scope for
introduction of high-efficiency CHP systems in the industry which
will result in substantial supply of excess power to the public
grid.
Expeller type palm kernel cake is a fine grain product,
obtained from the extraction process of palm kernel oil, resulting
from the oil palms fruit almond. The particles size main advantage
in Indupalmas produced cake is that it is ideal to use in animal
food, specially for cattle, making it easy to blend and digest.
Palm kernel cake is a good dietary option because it is a high source of energy, fiber and protein, which contributes to the animals well-balanced nutrition.
Chocolate bar type palm kernel cake is a by-product obtained as a result of the filtering phase during the extraction process of palm kernel oil, it is characterized by high levels of oil and is used as the base for concentrate food for animals.
