Boiler Ash From Palm Oil Mill

A mill with 90 t hr 1 ffb processing capacity will produce about 160 200 t dc and about 180 t ba a month.

Boiler ash from palm oil mill. Common conventional biological treatment methods fail to decolorize palm oil mill effluent pome. Boiler ashes from crude palm oil mill with potassium k20 more than 8 naturally which is suitable for organic fertilizer purposes in agriculture and also alternative by. Palm bunch ash is a fertilizer from oil palm fruit ash the empty fruit hulls are burned and the ash is collected and used as a fertilizer which is a source of potassium. Both the dc and ba are sources of nutrients for producing bio compound fertilizer.

Palm oil mill collector ash originates from the dust collector or multicyclone. Palm kernel steam boilers in palm oil mill. A mill with 90 t hr 1 ffb processing capacity will produce about 160 200 t dc and about 180 t ba a month. The resultant adsorbents were characterized using scanning electron microscopy sem energy.

The overall steps taken in this work. The boiler ash was obtained from palm oil mill in p enang malaysia. This process two types of palm ashes were produced which is boiler ash and palm oil fuel ash pofa. Boiler ash was obtained from burning the palm fiber and kernel shells in the boiler where it consists of clinkers and ash 19.

Palm waste for steam boiler. Both the dc and ba are sources of nutrients for producing bio compound fertilizer. Meanwhile pofa is by product from power plant that generate electricity which used palm fiber shell and empty fruit. The pomb ashes were subjected to microwave irradiation and chemical treatment using h2so4.

Palm oil fuel ash pofa a waste material obtained from burning of palm oil husk and palm kernel shell as fuel in palm oil mill boilers which has been identified as a good pozzolanic material. First they are dried and subsequently separated from each other by the use of a cyclone system. Palm oil fuel ash which contains siliceous compositions produces a stronger and denser concrete. Coarse particle of the unburn palm oil nutshells fibers and.

The present study focused on using the abundant palm oil mill boiler pomb ashes for pome decolorization. Recycling them will reduce the cost of palm oil production. The organic type ashes can be mixed with other fertilizer such as manure rice husk or microbe to formulate a nutrient balance fertilizer for various crops. Palm oil mill boiler retained ash is produced during the flow of the resulting flue gases during which the gases are trapped in a ba e of the boiler.

Recycling them will reduce the cost of palm oil production. After digestion of the palm fruit and extraction of the palm oil from the mash the nuts and fibres are recovered.
