Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBio-oils from Pyrolysis of Oil Palm Empty Fruit BunchesMohamad Azri Sukiran, Chow Mee Chin, Nor Kartini Abu BakarProblem Statement: The palm oil industry generates an abundance of oil palm biomass such as the mesocarp fibre, shell, empty fruit bunch (EFB), frond, trunk and palm oil mill effluent (POME). For 80 million tonnes of fresh fruit bunch (FFB) processed last year, the amount of oil palm biomass was more than 25 million tones. The objectives of this study … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 11,200 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Microwave and Ultrasonic Pretreatments on Biogas Production from Anaerobic Digestion of Palm Oil Mill EffleuntN. Saifuddin, S A. FazliliProblem Statement: Oil palm production is a major agricultural industry in Malaysia. In 2006, palm oil mills in Malaysia produced more than 58 million tonnes of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME). Existing treatment in a series of open lagoons at high ambient temperatures, results in the uncontrolled production of methane and carbon dioxide, which are both green house gases (GHGs). … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,993 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEconomic Sanctions, Oil Price Fluctuations and Employment: New Empirical Evidence from LibyaAbdusalam Faraj Yahia, Ali Salman SalehThis research attempts to examine the links between fluctuating oil prices, economic sanctions and the employment in the Libyan economy. In particular, this study attempts to answer the basic question whether UN’s resolutions number 748 (1992) of 31 March 1992 and oil price fluctuations have any significant influence on the employment in Libya. One of this study’s key findings is … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,440 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Green House Gases (GHG) Emissions from Oil Production Facilities at Northern Kuwait Oilfields: Simulated ResultsKhaireyah Kh. AL-Hamad, V. Nassehi, A.R. KhanAir pollution and its effects on the ecosystem has been a source of concern for many environmental pollution organizations in the world. In particular climatologists who are not directly involved in petroleum industry sometimes express concerns about the environmental impacts of gaseous emissions from flaring at various despised points. For environmental and resource conservation reasons, flaring should always be minimized … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,933 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnvironmental Performance of the Milling Process Of Malaysian Palm Oil Using The Life Cycle Assessment ApproachVijaya Subramaniam, Ma An Ngan, Choo Yuen May, Nik Meriam Nik SulaimanMalaysia is currently the world leader in the production and export of palm oil.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOil Palm Biomass As Potential Substitution Raw Materials For Commercial Biomass Briquettes ProductionA.B. Nasrin, A.N. Ma, Y.M. Choo et al.Palm oil industry generates vast amount of palm biomass. Converting palm biomass into a uniform and solid fuel through briquetting process appears to be an attractive solution in upgrading its properties and add value. In this study, raw materials including empty fruit bunch (EFB), in powder and fibre forms, palm kernel expeller (PKE) and sawdust were densified into briquettes at … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 9,476 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study of Residual Oils Recovered from Spent Bleaching Earth: Their Characteristics and ApplicationsLoh Soh Kheang, Cheng Sit Foon, Choo Yuen May, Ma Ah NganThis study described the extraction of residual oils of spent bleaching earth (SBE) from palm oil refining industry, the properties and applications of residual oils obtained there from. Residual oils of SBE (acid-activated, WAC and neutral, NC) were recovered via solvent and supercritical-fluid (SC-CO2) extraction. The yields of residual oils recovered from WAC were higher than those from NC using … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2006 · 9,235 accessesView PDF Cite
