  • What are palm kernel shells (PKS)?
  • Palm kernel shells (PKS) are the endocarp of oil palm fruit which contains the kernel of the oil palm nut. It is a hard material and can be easily handled in bulk directly from the mill production line. The estimated PKS in 2015 is more than 5 million tonnes/year, and the amount is expected to continuously increase (Wicke et al. 2011).
  • How is palm kernel oil produced?
  • Palm kernels are produced in a palm oil mill but will usually be sent to a palm kernel crusher plant with a maximum of 6% dirt and 7% moisture content. Mechanical screw press extraction is most common in used to produce crude palm kernel oil (CPKO) complying with Malayan Edible Oil Manufacturers¡¯ Association (MEOMA) specifications.
  • How much palm kernel oil is produced in Indonesia?
  • A total of 3.9 million tonnes of palm kernel oil (PKO) was produced during the same corresponding period. In the case of Indonesia, the industry has grown rapidly with the oil palm plantation expanding at an annual rate of more than 12% from 1990 to 2005.
  • Should palm kernel crushing plant be integrated with a palm oil mill?
  • Thus, the kernel crushing plant should be integrated with a palm oil mill for the least environmental impact (Subramaniam et. al., 2010). The analysis above showed that palm kernel crushing is a profitable industry. The profit margin increases with plant capacity due to energy consumption efficiency in a large mill.
