these mills use a portion of the heat produced by hot gases from wood burning to extract the oil. The wet process is used by medium and large mills with capacities over 10 t/h FFB [2]. The milling process requires both steam and hot water for the oil extraction, which generates waste-water known as palm oil mill effluent (POME) [2].
Biomass Wastes from Palm Oil Mills BioEnergy Consult
In a typical palm oil mill, almost 70% of the fresh fruit bunches are turned into wastes in the form of empty fruit bunches, fibers and shells, as well as liquid effluent. These by-products can be converted to value-added products or energy to generate additional profit for the Palm Oil Industry.
