Advances in Science, Technology and Engineering Systems Journal, Volume 3, Issue 5, Page # 166–170, 2018; DOI: 10.25046/aj030521

Abstract:

In this study, torrefaction pretreatment on palm kernel shell (PKS) was investigated using fixed bed reactor. The PKS was torrefied at the temperatures of 210, 230, 250, 270 and 290 °C. The characteristics between untreated and torrefied PKS were compared. The results showed that, the mass and energy yield lessened, while the calorific value augmented…
