Keith, This posting was originally a request for assistance in converting palm oil waste into poultry feed. We suggested biodiesel instead. The messages below show most of the conversation so far. I think that the requester is associated with a French institute in Malaysia. Feel free to respond to Mr. Nashbat directly.
Perhaps I am misunderstanding the description of the mill waste he has available.

Empty fruit punches 2. Effluent from the mill ( Palm oil mill effluent) We got the technology to process the two streams from thermo thech which is based in Canada...we convert POME into fertilizer and the EFB into animal feed. We are in the process of building the full scale plant which can treat 1200 ton/day and produce about 200 ton of the final product. But this is not enough to get a good revenue so we are thinking of another process to treat more palm oil waste and increase our revenue.

I am sure that you know that palm oil can be filtered and used as boiler fuel or as diesel fuel without further processing, for many applications. To convert it to biodiesel to mimic #2 diesel fuel only requires cracking the carbon molecule bond to make is smaller and more like petroleum diesel. This is typically done chemically with lye and methanol, or by thermal cracking using heat. What do you estimate the volume of material you have available to process? What would more material cost you to obtain? What is the value of diesel fuel in your area? ------------------------ Yahoo!
