Closing the waste loop of palm oil industry in 24 hours
With Biomax system, it takes only 24 hours to turn palm oil milling wastes into nutrient-rich, pathogen-free organic fertilizer with consistent quality.
The technology, developed by the Singapore-based Biomax Technologies, is able to treat palm oil milling wastes such as Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB), fruit fibres, decanter cake, Palm Oil Milling Effluent (POME) sludge, biogas sludge, boiler ash, etc into organic fertilizer. What is unique about this technology is that this conversion of waste to fertilizer can be done in 24 hours - which we have not heard in the industry before.
Typically, palm oil wastes are still treated the old-fashioned way. For example, EFB is solved by mulching at plantation which actually has disadvantages such as nutrients locking, long decomposition time, bulkiness, and also creating a habitat for rhino beetles. Most of the time, the amount of EFB is too enormous that it is burnt in open field or dumped away, creating additional pollutions and environmental critics about the sustainability of palm oil industry.
Waste to Wealth Technology
With the 'waste to wealth' technology from Biomax, the different organic solid wastes from the palm oil mill can be mixed to a certain proportion depending on the palm oil mill operation situation. The wastes are treated inside a digestor which is semi-automated with computer system.
The enclosed digestor makes sure that the smell does not leak out during the process and air blowers will supply the atmospheric air into the digestor. During the process, wastes are heated at high temperature of 80°C and enzymes break down the complex compounds from the waste to simpler compounds. If there is one thing to point out behind the accelerated process, it would be the unique mix of enzymes which was developed by Biomax's R&D team.
Designed to be clean and compact, the system requires minimal space and does not generate any exhaust or other by-products throughout the entire process. It is easy to be integrated with palm oil milling operation, and depending on the scale of the production, it can be scaled up by adding in more modules.
