Palm kernel shell is a by-product in the production of palm oil and is commonly used in the natural biomass energy industry. Palm kernel shells (or PKS) are the shell fractions left after the nut has been removed after crushing in the Palm Oil mill. It is a fibrous material, brownish-yellow in colour and can be easily handled in bulk directly from the product line to the end use. Due to its high calorific value, averaging 4000 Kcal/kg, and low ash content, it is considered an attractive source of fuel in the production of energy from renewable sources.
Palm Kernel Shell are a side product derived from the production of palm kernel oil and palm oil from the palm tree seeds. The palm kernel shell is thick and wood like and hence a perfect fuel for wood co generation plants, thermal power stations, biomass power and industrial plants.
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. Gross Calorie Value : 3.600 Kcal , Moisture : 14-20% ( Maximum 20% due to rain ) , Impurities : < 3% ( Maximum 3%) , Ash Content : < 3% ( Maximum 5%) , Size : 4-20mm. , Sulfur : < 0.1% ( Maximum 1%) .
PT PELITA NATURA NUSANTARA is a company engaged in the supply of palm kernel shell trading (Palm Kernel Shell) established in 2024 located in the Bangka Belitung islands. PT PELITA NATURA NUSANTARA provides export quality palm shells using a screening machine, in addition to maintaining quality to keep the shell dry covered with tarpaulin when it rains. We are committed to continuing to provide the best quality palm shells with a supply capability of +-10,000 mt per month so as to meet the demands and expectations of our biomass partners. We have GGL certificate.
Screening or drying process provides the best quality in the form of pure shells that are free from other materials. In this process the palm shells will be cleaned from stone, soil, iron and so on. This separation process will have a high calorific value. This is palm shell which has high quality because it is a pure material without being mixed with other ingredients. Screening is carried out specifically on a machine.
