“…There were three reports on the characterisation of oil palm frond, carried out by Zahari et al using TAPPI method, 30 Ofori-Boateng and Lee via National Renewable Energy Laboratories (NREL) procedures, 36 and Lai and Ani that used ADF, NDF and ADL. 37 The average from these three reports showed high total carbohydrate percentage which is 68.3% in oil palm frond.…”

“…It was expected that 56 million tonnes/year of OPF would be produced in Malaysia alone during replanting by 2020 [8]. Due to its high carbohydrates and nourishing constituents, OPF could serve as a substrate for the production of biofuels, bio-based chemicals, biofertilizer, and animal feed [9][10][11][12]. Furthermore, OPF petiole juice consists of high glucose content and can simply be extracted by conventional sugarcane pressing method [13][14][15].…”

Life Cycle Assessment for Bioethanol Production from Oil Palm Frond Juice in an Oil Palm Based Biorefinery

et al. 2019

A study was conducted to estimate the possible environmental impacts arising from the generation of bioethanol from oil palm frond sugar juice in a theoretical oil palm based biorefinery model. A life cycle assessment (LCA) with the gate-to-gate approach was performed with the aid of SimaPro version 8.0 whereby ten impact categories were evaluated. The scope included frond collection and transportation, frond sugar juice extraction, and bioethanol fermentation and purification. Evaluation on the processes involved indicated that fermentation contributed to the environmental problems the most, with a contribution range of 52% to 97% for all the impact categories. This was due to a substantial usage of nutrient during this process, which consumes high energy for its production thus contributing a significant burden to the surrounding. Nevertheless, the present system offers a great option for biofuel generation as it utilizes sugar juice from the readily available oil palm waste. Not only solving the issue of land utilization for feedstock cultivation, the enzymatic saccharification step, which commonly necessary for lignocellulosic sugar recovery could also be eliminated.

“…Instead, a genetically modified strain was developed to omit the detoxification process [15]. Another method is the organosolv method such as used on Oil Palm fronds [16], wheat straw [17] the steam explosion on sugarcane bagasse [18], sugarcane straw [19], wheat straw [20], spruce wood chips [21]. These methods partially hydrolyzes lignin bond with cellulose and hemicellulose but most of the hemicellulose are solubilized [22].…”

Temperature, Solid Loading and Time Effects on Recovery of Sugar from OPEFB

Abstract. Biorefinery industry used lignocellulosic biomass as the raw material. Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch (OPEFB) is one of Indonesian potential lignocellulosic biomass, which consists of hemicellulose with xylan as the main component. Xylitol production via fermentation could use this xylan since it can be converted into xylose. However, the structure of OPEFB is such that hemicellulose is protected in a way that will hinder hydrolysis enzyme to access it. Considering that hemicellulose is more susceptible to heat than cellulose, a hydrothermal process was applied to pre-treat OPEFB before it was hydrolyzed enzymatically. The aim of the research is to map the effect of temperature, solid loading and time of pre-treatment process to obtain and recover as much as possible accessible hemicellulose from OPEFB. The results showed that temperature gave more significant effect than time and solid loading for glucose recovery of OPEFB residues. While xylose recovery varies greatly with temperature, but solid loading and time gave less significant effect.
