Palm Kernel Shell Charcoal

Raw Material: Palm kernel shell (PKS) is a byproduct of the palm oil industry, specifically the hard shell that surrounds the palm seed.

Production Process: PKS is converted into charcoal through a process called pyrolysis, where organic material is heated in the absence of oxygen, resulting in the formation of charcoal.

Uses:

• Energy: Palm kernel shell charcoal is used as an efficient and sustainable solid fuel in various industrial applications, such as power generation and boilers.
• Filtration: The charcoal can be used as a material for water and air filters due to its ability to absorb impurities and contaminants.
• Agriculture: It is used as a soil amendment that helps improve soil fertility and structure.

Advantages:

• Environmentally Friendly: It utilizes waste from the palm oil industry and reduces carbon emissions compared to fossil fuels.
• Energy Efficiency: It has a high calorific value, providing greater energy output.
