Abstract

Solids oil palm biomass in the form of empty fruit bunches (EFB), palm press fibre (PPF), palm kernel shell (PKS), palm trunks and fronds has been identified as one of the main source of renewable energy with great potential in Malaysia. Recent development in the industry requires proper treatment of the palm biomass so that it generates clean energy. One of the treatment of palm biomass is size reduction since this will remove excess moisture and oil. It is vital to establish the correlations between size of palm biomass on moisture and the calorific values. By modeling and simulation, optimised blends of palm biomass consisting of EFB, PPF and PKS can be mixed to give the maximum power output. The physical and calorific properties of palm biomass were established through experimental work as well as plant data collected in this study. The simulated palm biomass blends through this study was validated with plant data from previous studies. Size reduction reduced moisture content significantly in the oil palm biomass namely EFB from 52 to 40 %. With size reduction, the calorific values of blends can increase by 34% and further improve the Net Energy Availability Value. The study suggests that an optimised blend from the oil palm biomass would further improve the calorific value. Through improved processing technology, the palm oil industry will continue to strive for sustainability development addressing both social and economic aspect simultaneously.
通过减小尺寸优化棕榈生物质能源
固体油棕生物质以空果束(EFB)、棕榈压榨纤维(PPF)、棕榈仁壳(PKS)、棕榈树干和叶子的形式被确定为马来西亚具有巨大潜力的可再生能源的主要来源之一。该行业的最新发展要求对棕榈生物质进行适当处理,使其产生清洁能源。棕榈生物质的处理之一是缩小尺寸,因为这将去除多余的水分和油。建立棕榈生物量对水分的大小和热值之间的相关性是至关重要的。通过建模和仿真,由EFB、PPF和PKS组成的棕榈生物质的优化混合物可以混合在一起,以提供最大的功率输出。通过实验工作和本研究收集的植物数据,确定了棕榈生物质的物理和热特性。通过本研究模拟的棕榈生物质混合物与先前研究的植物数据进行了验证。尺寸减小显著降低了油棕生物质的水分含量,即EFB从52%降至40%。随着粒径的减小,共混物的热值可提高34%,并进一步提高净能量可用值。该研究表明,油棕生物质的优化混合物将进一步提高热值。通过改进加工技术,棕榈油行业将继续努力实现可持续发展,同时解决社会和经济方面的问题。
