The utilization of new and renewable energy sources explicitly based on biomass needs to be increased reduce dependence fossil fuels. One the potential biomasses plantation waste in Indonesia that can utilized is oil palm form fronds trunks are converted with multi-stage downdraft gasification technology. This study aimed conduct a technical analysis, economic investment risk social an environm...

PT. Socfindo Indonesia Seunagan Plantation is a company that produces palm oil and kernel (PKO). This observation aims to determine the parameters of free fatty acids in Plantation. Is it within quality control limits based on Xbar Rbar charts, as well investigations into causes improving with Free Fatty Acid (FFA) parameters. Based results Crude Palm Oil (CPO) chart, number samples for acid le...

The waste shell was utilized as a bioresource of calcium oxide (CaO) in catalyzing a transesterification to produce biodiesel (methyl ester). The economic and environmen-friendly catalysts were prepared by a calcination method at 700-1,000°C for 4 h. The heterogeneous catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the B...

Several technologies are being applied for treatment of palm oil mill wastes. Among them, the biological treatments (vermicomposting) have widely been recognized as one of the most efficient and eco-friendly methods for converting organic waste materials into valuable products. The present study focuses on vermicomposting of acidic palm oil mill effluent (POME) mixed with the palm pressed fibre...

Malaysia is one of the largest palm oil-producing countries in world. Located Southeast Asia region, this country also known as mega biodiversity-rich which contains numerous species. In study, arthropods were sampled using sticky traps at three sites within an oil dominated landscape. We examined how vegetation structure affects arthropod community distribution plantation. The number species w...

the effects of ensiling alhagi with waste date palm on rumen parameters and microbial protein synthesis in kermani sheep were investigated. 100 kg alhagi with 20 kg waste date palm were mixed and ensiled for 45 d. the experimental diets containing 0, 7, 14 and 21% alhagi with waste date palm silage. four male kermani rams were used in change over design with four 21-days period. ensiling alhagi...

This research was conducted to determine the quality of particle board using raw material empty palm oil bunches with different compositions. Oil is a plantation crop that has an important role in Indonesia today. plant produces vegetable and its derivative products. The processing Empty Palm Bunches (EFB) into as strategy for utilizing solid waste from carried out March - June 2020. Quality te...

In Malaysia, there are plentiful of palm biomass but not always these resources are fully utilised. In the perspective of biomass industry owner, there are three factors that affect the business decision, (i) constant and good quality supplies, (ii) process efficiency, (iii) market demand and price. The strategy considerations that respond to these factors are based on other players’ competitio...
