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.

Hi
As I mentioned to you earlier we need to process the waste of the palm oil
mill which include two main streams 1. 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?
