Palm Kernel Expeller (PKE) is a high-quality byproduct derived from the mechanical extraction of oil from palm kernels, the seeds of the oil palm fruit. Rich in fiber and protein, PKE is widely utilized in animal feed, particularly for ruminants such as cattle and goats, due to its nutritional benefits. Additionally, it serves as an organic fertilizer, enhancing soil quality, and is increasingly being used in the production of biofuels because of its energy-rich properties. Sourced from Indonesia's robust palm oil industry, PKE is a sustainable and eco-friendly option that aligns with global efforts to promote circular economy practices, making it an attractive choice for both agricultural and industrial applications.
Palm Kernel Oil
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.

Palm Kernel
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. Product origin : Nigeria Key Specifications/Special Features : FFA 2.5% Max Moisture and impurities 0.3 max IV 6-19 Colour (5 ¼” Lovibond) R 3.4-4.5
The palm kernel is the edible, hard, stony seed found at the core of the oil palm fruit. Encased within a tough shell, the kernel is a small but vital part of the palm fruit, as it contains a significant amount of oil that is highly valued in various industries. The fruit yields two distinct oils: palm oil derived from the outer parts of the fruit, and palm kernel oil derived from the kernel. The pulp left after oil is rendered from the kernel is formed into "palm kernel cake", used either as high-protein feed for dairy cattle or burned in boilers to generate electricity for palm oil mills and surrounding villages.
