As production of palm oil is expanding, a more efficient use of oil palm biomass to obtain more energy from oil palm plantations is investigated. The work was carried out on a fluidised bed bench scale fast pyrolysis unit, with the objective of determining the important conditions and key variables which are required to maximise the liquid yield and its quality. The investigation on the impact of...
This short communication describes the evaluation of the fast pyrolysis behaviour of empty fruit bunches (EFB), one of the solid wastes of the rapidly expanding palm oil industry. A 150g/h fluidised bed bench scale fast pyrolysis unit is used to study the impact of the following key variables; the reactor temperature in the range of 400–600°C, the residence time in the range of 0.79–1.32s, and a range...
The fast pyrolysis of washed and unwashed empty fruit bunches (EFB), a waste of the palm oil industry, is investigated in this study. Firstly, the composition and particle size distribution of the washed and unwashed feedstock were determined and the thermal degradation behaviour was analysed by TGA. Then a 150g/h fluidised bed bench scale fast pyrolysis unit was used to study the impact of key variables:...
