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 ...

Assessment of major solid wastes generated in palm oil mills
Two multivariate statistical techniques, viz. Discriminant Analysis (DA) and Principal Components Analysis (PCA) were used for the analysis of amount of solid wastes generated, such as Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB), potash ash, fibre and shell, in five different palm oil mills. DA identified two functions responsible for discriminating the mills on the basis of solid waste generated in these mills. ...

Benefits of applying organic fertilizer to oil palm
Oil palm is a perennial evergreen gymnospermous woody plant. It not only consumes a large amount of nutrients, but also has characteristics of nutrient demand. In addition to N, P, K and trace elements, the demand for lignocellulose is higher. It is not enough to plant oil palm only by using chemical compound fertilizer. The predatory use of soil will eventually lead to the deterioration of soil ...

Adsorption of ammonium using waste activated sludge from palm oil mill effluent treatment plant
Low cost adsorbent was prepared using waste activated sludge (WAS) from a palm oil mill effluent (POME) treatment plant, and used to adsorb ammonium from aqueous solution. The effect of initial concentration, temperature, pH and adsorbent dose was studied in batch test to determine the kinetic and thermodynamic properties. The results showed that the uptake of ammonia increased with an increase ...

Trials about composting of solid wastes from palm oil Mills in Indonesia
The solid wastes produced in palm oil mills are empty fruit bunch (EFB), mesocarp fibre, shell, and palm kernel cake. On an average the amount of EFB is 0,220 t of 1 t oil palm fruit bunch (Singh, 1994). In Indonesia, there will be about 2.9 million tonnes EFB (dry basis) in 2000 (Lubis et. al. 1994). At the moment, EFB in Indonesian palm oil mills are burnt in incinerators to reduce the mass and ...
