• Is oil palm frond a biopellet?
  • Conclusions Oil palm frond is easily molded to be biopellet than other materials. The key factor in producing biopellets depends on the type and size of material. Based on the water content, ash content, density and calorific value then oil palm mesocarp fiber biopellet that pressed at 200 and 250 ??C as the best formula.
  • Which biopellet is best for oil palm mesocarp?
  • Based on the water content, ash content, density and calorific value then oil palm mesocarp fiber biopellet that pressed at 200 and 250 ??C as the best formula. Acknowledgements We are enormously grateful to Mr. Jayadi, Mr. Sudarmanto, Mr. Syaiful and Mr.Fazhar for helping this research.
  • Are felled opts a source of disease in oil palm plantations?
  • Felled OPT are considered to be a source of disease in oil palm plantations as these trunks are usually chipped and windrowed in the same plantation. Up to 25% of young palms within 6 years are at risk of infection in the plantation if diseased boles and trunks are left in the ground.
  • How much energy does a palm oil mill generate per year?
  • From another similar study, a palm oil mill of 396 thousand MT per year FFB capacity was reported to generate 2.62 thousand MT CH4per year, which is equivalent to 13.26 GW h per year.87
  • What is windrowing of chipped oil palm plantations?
  • When windrowing of chipped OPT are conducted in oil palm plantations, a rich source of nutrients that was available in the felled OPT will then be released into the surrounding soil upon replanting procedure ( Ooi, 2011 ).
