Solid Fuels from Decanter Cake and Other Palm Oil Industry Waste

Solid Fuels from Decanter Cake and Other Palm Oil Industry Waste

Palm oil milling plant generates about 4 – 5 wt % of decanter cake from the total weight of fresh fruit bunch processed. The decanter cake was dried overnight in an oven at 105 °C to reduce moisture content before it could be used as solid fuel. Thermogravimetry analysis, pyrolysis and combustion of...
