Empty Fruit Bunch Gasifier - Ankur Scientific

Empty Fruit Bunch ( EFB )

The following types of solid wastes are generated from Palm oil industry.

(The indicative quantities of wastes generated and mentioned below is per 1 ton of full fruit bunch used.)

Palm Kernel Shells (Approx. 6%)

Palm kernel shells are a good feedstock to be used in our Gasifiers on as is basis with moisture content less than 20%.

It also has very good calorific value and is almost ready to use in the Gasifier.

Fines below 3 mm are best sieved out and these fines could briquetted and then used in the Gasifier.

Empty Fruit Bunch EFB (Approx. 30%)

A novel Gasifier has been developed for use of EFB (Empty Fruit Bunch) on as is basis (without briquetting).

The EFB will need to be duly pressed to bring down the moisture content to around 20% with ash content less than 5%, ash softening temperature greater than 1,200°C before feeding into the Gasifiers.

The bulk density will need to be above 150 kg/m³ and the size of the whole EFB should be not more than 200 X 200 X 90 mm.

Palm Fiber (Approx. 14%)

Loose Palm fibers generally have low bulk density and thus these are best used in our Gasifier after making briquettes / pellets to the defined specifications.
