3. 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

4. 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.

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

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

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

9. 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

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

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

12. EFB Fibre & Sludge Send to composting
Effluent Sludge

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

17. Shell
Shell is around 6% to FFB
Palm Kernel is around 5-6% to FFB

18. Shell Amount of shell around 6% to FFB High Calorific value
Export to Japan, Thailand & local market as fuel

19. Palm kernel Palm Kernel Oil 45% to palm kernel De-oiled Cake
About 55% to kernel weight
Use as animal feed
Palm Kernel Oil
45% to palm kernel
