Palm Pellet (EFB Pellet)

Palm pellets come in different forms, including carbonized palm pellets, EFB pellets, and Oil Palm tree pellets, each named after the specific raw materials used. In this context, we will focus on EFB pellets.

The raw material for EFB pellets is the fresh empty fruit bunches (EFB) obtained from the crude palm oil mill. There are two types of tooling processes for EFB pellets. One involves a hydrolysis process to reduce ash content and increase burning value, making them ideal for biomass burning. These pellets can be used in almost all boiler grating systems and produce minimal smoke during combustion.

The second type of tooling process includes shredding, drying, crushing, and pelletizing the EFB, which is then used as a reliable growing medium. In Malaysia, a country known for oil palm agriculture, large volumes of EFB can be processed into EFB palm pellets or palm bales, becoming an excellent agricultural planting medium.
