TORREFACTION AND FAST PYROLYSIS OF OIL PALM BIOMASS
The present research focuses on torrefaction and fast pyrolysis of Malaysian oil palm residue (empty fruit bunches, palm mesocarp fibre, and palm kernel shell), these biomass types were selected due to their abundant quantity in the country, the current inefficient recycling methods, and the little...

| Summary: | The present research focuses on torrefaction and fast pyrolysis of Malaysian oil palm residue (empty fruit bunches, palm mesocarp fibre, and palm kernel shell), these biomass types were selected due to their abundant quantity in the country, the current inefficient recycling methods, and the little availability of the decomposition data from few published studies. Torrefaction experiments were carried out in fabricated torrefaction reactor, while fast pyrolysis experiment conducted in newly invented and designed novel drop type pyrolyzer featuring the ability to recover all pyrolysis products with high recover percentage up to 98%. |
