The Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), an agency under the Ministry of Federal Territories has been involved in the National Biodiesel Programme since February 2009. The first collaboration on biodiesel fuel between the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) and DBKL was to use B5 diesel for the whole DBKL diesel fleet. B5 is a blend of 5% palm biodiesel with 95% petroleum diesel. The successful implementation of the B5 project with DBKL has supported the government to implement B5 program nationwide in phases for transportation and other subsidised sectors beginning in 2011. To further increase the biodiesel blending ratio in diesel, the government had then upgraded B5 to B7 programme since January 2015. So far, no technical complaints were received.

Crude Palm Oil De-Chlorination

High concentrations of 3-monochloro- 1,2-propanediol (3-MCPD) were found in refined, bleached and deodorised (RBD) palm oil recently, implying that the level in edible oil consumption will exceed the tolerable daily intake (TDI) of 0.8 μg kg-1 body weight as determined by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) (2016). A study showed that the reaction prerequisites […]

Microalgae Cultivation In Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME)

Developing alternative fuels is an essential step towards solving fossil fuels issues such as fuel cost and pollution. Microalgae can be a promising feedstock for alternative fuel as it is fast growing and easily cultivated. Exploring wastewater such as palm oil mill effluent (POME) for feasible microalgae cultivation is essential as POME is abundantly available […]
