SYNOPSIS
Under the National Key Economic Areas (NKEA) plan by the Government in the 10th Malaysia Plan (2010-20l5), the importance of biogas trapping is evident from its inclusion as one of the Eight Entry Point Projects (EPPs) of the palm oil sector. The Biogas capturing project from the Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) is a good source of renewable energy for various utilization and application. The biogas power Plant In KKSL Sdn Bhd is a green energy power plant integrated with a palm oil mill having processing capacity of 100 ton per hour. The palm oil mill basically process 560,000 ton to 620,000 ton Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB) per annum. The biogas plant is able to provide gaseous that can generate more than 2MW continuously in general condition. The power that generated mainly for FIT purpose besides in-house consumption (islanded unit).The waste heat from the micro-turbine exhaust is captured and channeled to the Empty fruit bunch (EFB) long fiber plant as heating source (CHP program).
The Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) treated as the by-product from the Palm Oil extraction processing (Threshing stage). Conventionally the EFB applied as mulching material in the plantation. With mature and good engineering approach, the pressed EFB can be further processed to produce dried long fiber, which is an alternative source for cushion-based raw material besides the coconut fiber (conventionally). The waste heat from the biogas power generator is captured and channeled to the Empty fruit bunch (EFB) long fiber plant as the heating source (CHP program) to dry up the long fiber to meet the market specification (10-13% moisture content). No additional heat energy source (steam or electrical heater) is required. Hence the commercial value of the EFB/pressed EFB has been increasing besides conventional environmental issue resolved and overcome. That is so called: Practical and commercially viable waste management.
