1. What is PFAD PFAD stands for Palm Fatty Acid Distillate. It is a processing residue resulting from physical refining of crude palm oil products. At room temperature it is a light brow semi-solid, melting to a brown liquid on heating. Up to 80 percent of PFAD is free fatty acid (FFA), with palmitic acid and oleic acid being the major components. The remaining 20 percent is made up of components including triglycerides, partial glycerides, and vitamin E, sterols and squalene's. 2.How is PFAD used? PFAD is used as a renewable raw material in biofuels production as well as to produce candles, soaps, other oleochemical products, and animal feed. Specific to biofuel production in Europe, the EU allows Member States to account PFAD consumption towards greenhouse gas emissions reductions under its Renewable Energy Directive. The amount of emissions reductions depends on the PFAD technical classification, a residue or co-product, which is up to the individual Member State. To verify the emissions reductions, the EU relies on voluntary certification schemes, such as the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification system. 3.What are the benefits6 of using PFAD Producing renewable fuels using PFAD is good for the climate. It is an efficient way to use waste generated through the palm oil refining process, preventing PFAD from going to literal waste. A by-product that is undesirable from the food industry perspective can be very desirable for other sectors. Neste MY Renewable Diesel7 which is refined from PFAD and other waste and residue materials, such as Used Cooking Oil (UCO), helps to replace crude oil-based diesel in transportation. Using Neste MY Renewable Diesel can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 90 percent on average compared to a diesel-powered vehicle using conventional fossil fuel-based diesel.

Ethanol Alcoholic Beverages: Ethanol is the primary alcohol found in alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine, and spirits. It is produced through fermentation of sugars by yeast. Industrial Applications: Solvent: Ethanol is widely used as a solvent in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, paints, and inks. It can dissolve a wide range of substances, making it valuable in extraction processes and as a cleaning agent. Fuel: Ethanol is used as a biofuel additive in gasoline (usually referred to as ethanol fuel or E85), promoting cleaner combustion and reducing emissions. Medical and Pharmaceutical Uses: Antiseptic: Ethanol is an effective disinfectant and antiseptic agent used in healthcare settings for cleaning skin and medical instruments. Preservative: Used in pharmaceutical preparations and cosmetics to improve stability and shelf life. Food and Flavorings: Ethanol is used in food processing as a solvent for extracts, flavorings, and as a carrier for food additives. Laboratory Applications: Chemical Reagent: Ethanol is commonly used in laboratories as a solvent and reagent in various chemical reactions and synthesis processes.

Calcium carbonate mud (carb-cake) is pressed, washed, and squeezed under pressure in fully automatic mud presses to reduce its sugar and moisture content, the produced press mud contains around 25% moisture (w/w) as measured by loss on drying (LOD). The resulting mud press looks like aggregates of small gravels thatâ??s composed of microcin sized crystals. The Flow characteristics of such aggregates are very poor and makes it difficult to fill the trailer of disposal truck which requires more journeys to dispose the whole quantity.
