Conversion of oil palm waste into value-added products through pyrolysis: a sensitivity and techno-economic investigation

Abstract: In this study, an empirical model for the pyrolysis of major oil palm wastes (OPW) such as palm kernel shell (PKS), empty fruit bunches (EFB), and oil palm frond (OPF), and their blends is developed. Moreover, the techno-economic feasibility of the wastes is investigated to determine the type of waste that would be suitable for the commercialization of different types of products. According to the model results, the bio-oil dominates the pyrolysis process’ product output, accounting for 59.21, 50.51, 56.60, an… Show more

“…Market values for bio-oil, bio-gas, and bio-char proposed in [90] are 0.4 $/kg, 0.056 $/kg and 0.2 $/kg, respectively. At such prices, the hourly revenues from a 1-GWth reactor could be $481k, calculated from sales of bio-fuel ($366k), biochar ($91k), and bio-gas ($26k) minus ~$2k to purchase electricity for house-load operation.…”

“…However, those revenues need to be translated into net benefits after accounting for added capital and operating costs. Some plant cost data were found in [90] for a 20-ton/hr oil palm waste pyrolysis plant showing CAPEX of $75-80 M and OPEX of $17-20 M/yr. The feedstock price is 41% of operating cost, and the energy price is not provided, likely because bio-gas is used as the energy source.…”

“…Parthasarathy et al [25], presented a study of bio-oil production using oil palm wastes (OPW) such as palm kernel shell (PKS), empty fruit bunches (EFB), and oil palm frond (OPF), and their blends, by pyrolysis. According to the economic analysis, PKSbased pyrolysis has the highest capital expenses (CAPEX), while EFB-based pyrolysis has the lowest CAPEX of all tested feedstocks.…”

“…In subsequent sections, we embark on a comprehensive exploration of the non-metallic metal nano catalysts, encompassing facets such as morphological characteristics, surface composition, and catalytic activity [18], [19]. Subsequently, we delve into their application within the purview of asphalt pyrolysis, with the explicit objective of elucidating the extent to which these nano catalysts can amplify both the yield of invaluable products and the heating value of pyrolytic outputs [20], [21]. The insights gleaned from this research not only foster advancements in asphalt pyrolysis technology but also hold far-reaching implications for the continual evolution of the energy and chemical domains [22], [23].…”
