Malaysia palm kernel shells steam boiler in palm oil mills

Malaysia is currently the world's largest producer and exporter of palm oil. Malaysia produces about 47% of the world's supply of palm oil. Malaysia also accounts the highest percentage of global vegetable oils and fats trade in year 2005. Besides producing oils and fats, at present there is a continuous increasing interest concerning oil palm renewable energy. One of the major attentions is bio-diesel from palm oil. Bio-diesel implementation in Malaysia is important because of environmental protection and energy supply security reasons. This palm oil bio-diesel is biodegradable, non-toxic, and has significantly fewer emissions than petroleum-based diesel (petro-diesel) when burned. In addition to this oil, palm is also a well-known plant for its other sources of renewable energy, for example huge quantities of biomass by-products are developed to produce value added products such as methane gas, bio-plastic, organic acids, bio-compost, ply-wood, activated carbon, and animal feedstock. Even waste effluent; palm oil mill effluent (POME) has been converted to produce energy. Oil palm has created many opportunities and social benefits for the locals.

While in recent years, bulks of palm kernel shells are processed and sold as biomass fuel for boilers, especially for steam boilers in palm oil mills. We know palm oil mills need steam boiler to run turbines for electricity production. The PSK are by-product in the mills and it is cost-effective for them to use the biomass steam boiler burning palm kernel shells.

Our typical biomass boiler that can burn palm kernel shells is chain grate boiler. Membrane water-cooling wall, single-drum or bi-drum, horizontal arrangement, and it has high automatic degree to ensure the boiler running safely. Users can choose different boiler size based on their own requirement.
