Effect of torrefaction on oil palm empty fruit bunch pelletization

Journal of Fundamental and Applied Sciences, 2018
This paper focuses on the properties of raw and torrified pellet from EFB by varying different parameters including energy consumption, moisture adsorption, Meyer  hardness test and pellet density. To save storage space and transport costs, it can be compressed into fuel pellets of high physical and energetic density.

IMPACT OF AERATION ON OIL PALM EMPTY FRUIT BUNCHES DECOMPOSITION

Jurnal Teknologi Industri Pertanian, 2023
Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches (OPEFB) is one of the large solid wastes produced in oil palm industries. In this study, a technique of fast composting of oil palm EFB was carried out. This research aims to assess the effect of aeration on water content, the dynamics of temperature, fungal growth, and the carbon-nitrogen ratio of the EFB.
