Bio-failure or Bio-fuel? Economic Feasibility of Converting Palm Oil Waste to Biogas
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract This study aimed to investigate the economic feasibility of using an Up-Flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) reactor convert liquid waste from palm oil processing plants into biogas containing methane. The examined total capital investment (TCI), working (WCI), and production costs at different capacities (3, 30, 300 liters per day) determine if process could generate a profit. results showed that industrial UASB did not result in profit due large low production. implication this is further research needed find ways reduce increase make it economically feasible.

Preparation and Characterization of Nano- Structured Materials from Oil Palm Ash: a Bio- Agricultural Waste from Oil Palm Mill
Oil palm ash (OPA), a bio-agricultural waste from oil palm mills, was subjected to high-energy ball milling for 30 h and was converted into a nano-structured material. The nano-structured OPA was characterized for its particle size and crystallinity index by using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis. The crystallite size obtained from TEM and XRD was foun...

Besides the second generations bio fuels, one of the most promising products is the bio gas oil, which is a high iso-paraffin containing fuel, which could be produced by the catalytic hydrogenation of different triglycerides. To broaden the feedstock of the bio gas oil the catalytic hydrogenation of waste lard over sulphided NiMo/Al(2)O(3) catalyst, and as the second step, the isomerization of ...
