PALM KERNEL SHELL

Product Details

Palm kernel shells (or PKS) are the shell fractions left after the nut has been removed after crushing in the Palm Oil mill. PKS (Palm kernel Shell) can produce more heat than other bio fuel in the process of Combustion. But the carbon emission is very low than other bio fuel. Activated Carbon produced from palm kernel shell can be used as an adsorbent. Biomass energy which is another form of renewable energy source is derivable from PKS. Palm Kernel Shells share the same characteristics as its other sibling, coconut ... it the raw material of choice for the production of premium activated carbon.

Features of Palm Kernel Shell

High calorific value
Low sulphur content
Excellent year-round availability
No species variation
Low dust and impurities content

Applications

1. As homogeneous fuel with high quality, particles can be automatically controlled in combustion, its convenience can be equivalent to that of light fuel oil;

2. Sealed plastic packaging, shipping is convenient, clean;

3. Using sealed plastic bag packaging, shipping is convenient, avoid scattered like coal and other medium material and dust pollution;

4. Solid particles, the density, small volume, convenient storage;

5. High hydrogen, oxygen content, volatile can reach more than 70%, is advantageous to the fast ignition and combustion;

6. Sulphur content less than 0.05%; Don’t have to be set gas desulfurization device when fuel, reduces the cost, and be conducive to the protection of the environment;

7. With low ash, high boiler efficiency;

8. Palm shell is high density, resistant to burn; calorific value is higher than sawdust particles 10% ~ 15%;

9. After drying after the screening, the palm kernel shell does not contain impurities, greatly reduces the boiler sticking problem, extend the life of the boiler;

10. Pure natural, do not add any additives, more environmental protection than wood particles.
