PALM KERNEL SHELL (PKS)
Palm Kernel Shell (PKS) are the shell fractions left after the nut has been removed after crushing in the palm oil mill. Palm Kernel Shell is a natural high grade solid biofuel and has high energy density.
Key highlights of Palm Kernel Shell:-
- High calorific value
- Low Sulphur content
- Excellent year-round availability
- No species variation
PKS can be used as an alternative fuel for biomass-based combined heat and power plants to produce heat and power for:
- Industrial boilers
- Furnace & foundries
- Brick kilns
- Residential & commercial heating
- Light-weight aggregate for concrete
