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%) .
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.
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 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
Palm kernel shell (PKS) is a by-product of the palm oil industry but is fast becoming an important source of feedstock for biomass energy generation. Although always traditionally used by palm oil mills as a source of energy, interest from power generators is growing.
We source all our PKS from CPO mills in Sumatra and Kalimantan we also source from Sulawesi
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.
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.
