Title From Waste To Wealth :’ParBo’ From Biomass of Palm Oil<br />

Authors Muhammad Khairi B. Ramli<br />

Institution Tun Abdul Razak Integrated School<br />

Description<br />

The oil palm consist of only about 30% of the total biomass<br />

produced in the plantation. The remainder of consist of huge<br />

amount of oil palm wastes such as oil palm shells, mesocarp<br />

fibers and empty fruit bunch (EFB) from the mills and the oil<br />

palm fronds oil palm trunks from the field during replanting the<br />

oil palm tree. If the biomass wastes does not utilised,it will<br />

encourage environmental pollution.<br />

One of the biomass wastes is the oil palm fronds. It can be<br />

produces into potential product such as particles board. The flow<br />

chart of the particle board manufacturing are from raw material,<br />

the oil palm fronds to chipping then flaking the chips into<br />

different size of particles. Next is air-drying, screening to four<br />

size of particle( 2.0mm, 1.0mm, 0.5mm and fine size), oven<br />

drying, forming and lastly pressing in hot press to form a particle<br />

board. Testing is conducted to study the density, thickness<br />

swelling, water absorption, and Modulus Of Rupture test.<br />

In conclusion, the biomass waste can be overcome through<br />

producing particles board. This particles board can be used in<br />

furniture making industries and same time reduce the<br />

environmental pollution causes by oil palm frond in plantation<br />

Description<br />

Due to the up growing modernization in the plumbing field,<br />

types of pipes were invented. Typical hoses used for filling of the<br />

portable water tanks in are similar to garden hoses but are made<br />

of non-porous materials that are less likely to collect bacteria or<br />

affect the water’s taste. They are colored white as a<br />

distinguishing characteristic. There are a number of common<br />

attachments available for the end of the hose, such as sprayers<br />

and sprinklers (which are used to concentrate water at one point<br />

or spread it over a large area). The hoses are typically made out<br />

of synthetic rubber or soft plastic, reinforced with an internal<br />

web of fibers. As a result of these materials hoses are flexible<br />

and their smooth exterior facilitates pulling them fast trees, posts<br />

and other obstacles. They are also generally tough enough to<br />
