Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsINFLUENCE OF REACTION TEMPERATURE AND REACTION TIME ON PRODUCT FROM HYDROTHERMAL TREATMENT OF BIOMASS RESIDUEJakaphong Kongpanya, Kanokorn Hussaro, Sombat TeekasapThailand is facing with problems associated with biomass residue such as palm oil residues (oil palm trunks, oil palm fronds, empty fruit bunches, shells and fibers). Biomass is promising source for the production of an array of energy-related produts including, liquid, solid and gaseous fuels, heat, chemicals electricity and other materials. Therefore, the use of biomass for energy is not … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 2 Jun 2014 · 7,676 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPYROLYSIS OF EMPTY FRUIT BUNCHES: INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE ON THE YIELDS AND COMPOSITION OF GASEOUS PRODUCTMohamad Azri Sukiran, Loh Soh Kheang, Nasrin Abu Bakar, Choo Yuen MayWith the increasing concern on fossil fuel depletion and environmental problems, the utilization of renewable biomass resources is expected to play an important role in the future. Biomass can be converted into a variety of fuels and chemicals by different processes; one of which is pyrolysis that has been subjected to extensive research in recent years. In this study, pyrolysis … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 3 Feb 2014 · 7,616 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsFruit Bio-Waste Derived Bio-Ethanol Production and Bioelectricity Generation as Renewable EnergyABM Sharif Hossain, Musamm M UddinBio-waste from food industry is a significant component to pollute the environment. Bioproducts like biomaterials, biofuel can be produced from biowaste and pollution can be reduced. The study was conducted to evaluate the quality of bioethanol production and investigate the bioethanol for bioelectricity generation using rambutan fruit biowaste. Bioethanol yield was the highest in 2 days incubation period of fermentation. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 7 Sep 2021 · 7,422 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPalm Oil Milling Wastes and Sustainable DevelopmentA.C. Er, Abd. Rahim Md. Nor, Katiman RostamProblem statement: Palm oil milling generates solid wastes, effluent and gaseous emissions. The aim of this study is to assess the progress made in waste management by the Malaysian palm oil milling sector towards the path of sustainable development. Sustainable development is defined as the utilization of renewable resources in harmony with ecological systems. Inclusive in this definition is the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 17 May 2011 · 7,691 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction of Palm Oil with Methane Avoidance at Palm Oil Mill: A Case Study of Cradle-to-Gate Life Cycle AssessmentChiew Wei Puah, Yuen May Choo, Soon Hock OngThe study discusses a case study of cradle to gate life cycle assessment for the production of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) with methane avoidance at palm oil mill. The improved milling process enables total utilization of the oil palm fruit to produce alow oil palm based food source. The minimal modification in the mill includes cleaning of Fresh Fruit Bunches … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 9 Sep 2013 · 7,387 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Antioxidants in Oil Palm Empty Fruit BunchesNg Mei Han, Choo Yuen MayThe oil palm Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) undergoes sterilization before being threshed to separate the fruits from the bunch. Upon threshing, the fruits were pressed for its oil while the now Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) will be discarded or used as biomass. It is believed that the EFB contains small amount of oil as well as phytonutrients which contain antioxidative … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 11 · 5 Sep 2012 · 7,184 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrated Electricity Planning Comprise Renewable Energy and Feed-In TariffHo Wai Shin, Haslenda HashimProblem statement: Mitigation of global warming and energy crisis has called upon the need of an efficient tool for electricity planning. This study thus presents an electricity planning tool that incorporates RE with Feed in-Tariff (FiT) for various sources of Renewable Energy (RE) to minimize grid-connected electricity generation cost as well as to satisfy nominal electricity demand and CO2 emission … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2012 · 8,695 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction and Characterization of Bio-Char from the Pyrolysis of Empty Fruit BunchesMohamad Azri Sukiran, Loh Soh Kheang, Nasrin Abu Bakar, Choo Yuen MayProblem statement: The palm oil industry generates an abundance of oil palm biomass such as the Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB), shell, frond, trunk and Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME). For 88 million tones of Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB) processed in 2008, the amount of oil palm biomass was more than 26 million tones. Studies about production of bio-char from oil … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 20 Aug 2011 · 9,811 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Bio-Oil: A By-Product from Slow Pyrolysis of Oil Palm Empty Fruit BunchesK. H. Khor, K. O. Lim, Z. A. ZainalProblem statement: Oil palm Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) are abundant biomass in Malaysia. Studies about production of biofuels using slow pyrolysis of EFB are still lacking. So, this study was aimed to understand the physical and chemical properties of the bio-oil and its simple blends. Approach: EFB was slow pyrolysed with internal heating at terminal temperature of 600°C in a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,016 accessesView PDFCite
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).
