Palm kernel shell (PKS) is actually the by-product from palm oil industry, before the era for palm kernel shell being used as biomass, the oil palm owner will bury the palm kernel shell underneath the land and let it becomes black color palm kernel compost. This is sort of organic fertilizer but because of the hard shell, it takes much longer time for converting totally to organic fertilizer. It is well known biomass product because of it small in size and high in heat energy or calorific value. Palm kernel is kernel from oil palm fruit. After the oil palm fruit gone through the palm oil process, the kernel will be separated and kernel oil will further be distilled and it also gained it status as a bio fuel resource for biomass product. It also classified as a renewable energy that complies with country energy regulation, such as Japan, Korea and Europe. Palm kernel shell also consider as the replacement for wood chip.

Oils And Fats Palm Oil
Palm oil is an edible vegetable oil made from palm fruit. Palm fruit is the source of both palm oil (extracted from the fruit) and palm kernel oil (extracted from the seeds). It is a light-yellow liquid and semi-solid at room temperature, melting to a clear yellow liquid when heated.
Palm Kernel
Palm oil is the most costcompetitive versatile and widely produced vegetable oil The major products are CPO Crude Palm Oil various forms of PPO Processed Palm Oil and PPKO Processed Palm Kernel Oil We are committed to sustainable palm oil sourcing from Indonesia and Malaysia and to protect forests and areas of high conservation value
Product Description : Palm kernel nut is a by-product from the milling of palm oil and can be sourced from oil palm plantation scattered in the rain forest region in southern Nigeria. The nuts can be sourced bit by bit from farmers after extracting the oil from the fruits in villages or from palm oil producing companies.

Palm oil is a vegetable oil obtained from the mesocarp (reddish pulp) of the oil palm fruit. The oil is utilised in food production, cosmetics, and as a biofuel. Oil palms have been used by humans for over 5,000 years. Palm oil's highly saturated nature causes it to solidify at room temperature in temperate climates, making it a suitable substitute for butter or hydrogenated vegetable oils in applications where solid fat is desired, such as pastry dough and baked products. The increased usage of palm oil in the food industry is due to health concerns about trans fats in hydrogenated vegetable oils.Around 70% of personal care items, such as soap, shampoo, cosmetics, and lotion, include palm oil-derived components.
