Palm Kernel Shell (PKS)
Palm kernel shells (PKS) represent the residual shell fractions left behind after the extraction of the kernel from the crushed palm fruit in the palm oil mill. These fibrous shells exhibit a brownish-yellow hue and typically possess particle dimensions within the range of 5 to 40 mm. With an average calorific value of 4000 Kcal/kg and a low ash content, PKS constitute a natural, high-grade solid biofuel characterized by a high density. Depending on the intended application, we offer both processed and unprocessed PKS. Our PKS feature superior properties such as high calorific values, low sulfur content, and reliable year-round availability.

Utilization
Palm kernel shells (PKS) have a range of potential applications as a fuel source across various industries, including but not limited to pulp and paper manufacturing, cement production, garment production, steel printing, and power generation.
Palm Kernel Expeller (PKE)
Palm Kernel Expeller (PKE) is a residual substance obtained from the extraction of palm oil from the fruit of the palm. Characterized by high levels of crude protein and moderate energy levels, PKE represents a premium stock feed option for a diverse range of livestock types. This supplement is entirely safe for incorporation into most livestock feeding programs.
