Mesocarp Fibre Oil content reduced to ~ 1 % by chemical extraction Solvent Extractor Residue Oil Content after physical extraction ~ 5 % Use solvent (Hexane) to extract the residual oil Oil content reduced to ~ 1 % by chemical extraction De-oiled fibre is use as boiler fuel De-oiled Fibre

Mesocarp Fibre Deoiled fibre’s with 1% Oil content is used as boiler fuel In future could be used for other down stream products, example: Press fibre charcoal, etc. De-oiled Fibre Boiler

Empty Fruit Bunch EFB Is about 20-25% of the FFB weight Fruits

Empty Bunch Shredder EFB could be shredded to 4-5 inches long fibre strands EFB Shredder

Empty Bunch Press Empty Bunch Press Presses the shredded EFB to reduce the moisture content in fibre

Empty Fruit Bunch Long Fiber Short Fibre Fibre length 4 to 10 inches Send to dryer to reduce the moisture below 10% Export to China for making mattress Short Fibre Fibre length usually less than 2 inches Moisture content around 40-42% Use as boiler fuel or compost

Long Fiber dryer EFB Fibre moisture reduced from 42% to 10 % Long Fibre use for making mattress EFB Fibre Drier Long Fiber

Long Fiber dryer Shorter fiber from the dryer is sell to other industry as fuel

EFB Fibre & Sludge Send to composting Effluent Sludge

Other product from Fibre The fiber could be use to produce pellet for other uses
