There are a large amount of oil palm wastes in several oil palm producers, such as Malaysia, Indonesia. So, the sources for oil palm waste pellets are quite abundant. Also, the materials are mainly distributed in oil pal processing plant, suggesting that they are easily to collect. As well as boasting high calorific values, Palm Kernel Shell Pellets is also manufactured to maximize pellet density which increases the pellet’s structural strength and helps the pellet maintain its complete form during handling and transportation.
The PKS pellets made from oil palm wastes are with high heating energy and efficiency. The pellets normally comes in the boiler with a diameter of 8mm diameter and a length about 20-30mm. This is suitable for most of the boiler input grate, can be applied widely and the demand for them are increasing. They are friendly to environment. While being burned, the pellets do not generate sulfur dioxide nor phosphoric anhydride since they do not contain phosphorus or sulfur. Due to this, oil palm pellets do not pollute the atmosphere nor pollute the environment.
