1. Definition and raw material source of EFB biomass pellets
Definition: EFB (Empty Fruit Bunches) refers to the empty fruit bunches left after the harvest of oil palm fruit, which is a common agricultural waste in Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and other places. Palm silk fiber is tough and easy to wind, and it is difficult to process it in large quantities with traditional granulators. However, with TONY's custom pelleting machine, the pre-treated EFB can be made directly into biomass pellet fuel.
2. Characteristics of EFB biomass pellets
Calorific value:
High calorific value, up to more than 5000 kcal, can be used as an effective energy source to meet a variety of energy needs.
Combustion performance:
In the combustion process will not produce smoke, reduce waste emissions, with better environmental performance.
High combustion efficiency helps to improve energy efficiency.
Physical properties:
The pellet diameter is generally 6-10mm, has a relatively uniform specification, high density, and high density EFB pellets are more conducive to providing stable calorific value. It is also more stable during storage and transportation.
3. Production process of EFB biomass pellets
First of all, the empty palm fruit clusters are directly chopped, and then made into biomass pellet fuel through a series of operations such as crushing, drying, extrusion, granulation, cooling and so on. TONY's custom pelleting machine can be used specifically for the manufacture of EFB biomass pellets, overcoming the tough and easy winding problems of palm silk fibers to enable high volume production.
4.EFB biomass pellet application field
Energy sector:
Industrial boiler: can be used as fuel for industrial boilers, instead of traditional coal and other fossil fuels, to provide heat energy for industrial production, not only reduce the dependence on non-renewable energy, but also reduce environmental pollution, help enterprises to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction goals.
Thermal power generation: It can be used as a fuel for thermal power plants to generate electricity and is a renewable energy option that helps the power industry transition to sustainable energy.
Household heating and domestic energy: In civil terms, it can be used for household heating and energy needs in daily life, such as as fuel for household furnaces, which has a relatively high combustion efficiency and is easy to store.
Other areas:
Central heating system: Can be applied to the central heating system to provide heat to the building.
Grill: Can be used as a fuel for the grill, providing a clean heat source for barbecue and other activities.
The processing of EFB pellets is a process involving material preparation, drying, shredding and forming. By using specially designed pelletizing machines, this agricultural waste can be effectively converted into efficient and environmentally friendly biomass fuel.
