The worldwide electrical energy crisis occurs due to the depletion of conventional energy sources and power plants still use fossil fuels as their main fuel.
The solution is to utilize alternative fuel sources that are environmentally friendly, efficient, inexpensive, effective and sustainable.
One alternative to sustainable energy is palm biomass. The biomass is palm shells.
The results of the laboratory analysis are as follows:
Ash content analysis 2 3%
moisture in analysis 7 8%
Fixed carbon 20 22 %
Volatile matter 69 70 %
Comparison of coal fuel with palm shells for factory boilers
The steam obtained comes from the change in the water phase in the boiler due to getting heat energy from the combustion of fuel. In this, we will compare the use of coal and palm shells as boiler fuel
