We offer two categories of Palm Kernel Shell :
- Non Screening / Unprocessed Palm Kernel Shell
This is the type of palm kernel shell that being directly transported to customer without going through any screening treatment to remove the unwanted material. Unprocessed Palm Kernel Shell price is cheaper, however more consumption is needed due to the non uniform sizing and the existence of foreign objects. - Screening / Processed Palm Kernel Shell
Processed palm kernel shell undergoes treatment to reduce the moisture content and unwanted objects, before being delivered to customer. The treatment will improve these parameters such as moisture, ash, sulphur, carbon, impurities and gross calorific value. The quality of palm kernel shell will be provided in laboratory report.
Palm kernel shell is a skin lies between palm kernel and palm fruit flesh. Palm kernel shell as the by product from the palm oil manufacturing process, has eventually become more popular as it can be used as a biofuel energy. Palm kernel shell slowly replaces fossil fuel as the world try to fight the global climate change.
Palm kernel shell has a hard profile, that function is to guard the palm kernel flesh from insects,bacteria, or pest. The color of palm fruit shell that has reached maturiry is brown blakish in which it is ready to be harvested. The second layer that is positioned next to the palm fruit shell is the skin meat. The third layer is the palm kernel shell. The last layer is filled with white flesh which is then processed into palm kernel oil.
Palm kernel shell consists of a thick fiber, low ash content, low sulphur content . Generally, palm kernel shell has moisture content of around 15-25% , ash content of 1-3%, sulphur content below 0,2%. Palm kernel shell has high calorific value on average of 4000 kcal/kg. Due to its high calorific value, palm kernel shell is widely used as green energy resource / biofuel / bio energy resource. We supply both screening /processed palm kernel shell and non screening / unprocessed palm kernel shell.
Palm kernel shell uses for steam boiler in the form of solid fuel at palm oil mill. The combustion of Palm kernel shell in the steam boiler generate steam that is used to run turbine which then produce electricity.
Palm kernel shell is available in numerous quantity in palm producing country such as Indonesia. Indonesia is one of the leading country in the palm plantation, palm processing and palm shipping facility. Palm kernel shell is one of the cheapest biofuel around, and is easy to be transported as they are dry and uniform in size.
Palm kernel shell demand is rising around the world, since fossil fuel energy from coal and oil generate negative impacts to the global climate change. Countries like China, Europe, and Japan has an increase demand of Palm kernel shell since they are accelerating their green energy generation. Besides reducing the carbon emissions, Palm kernel shell as biofuel has increased the sustainability and profitability in palm oil industry.
Bio Agri Indo is one of the biggest Palm Kernel Shell Supplier From Indonesia. Please Feel Free to contact us for further information.
