Abstract

Palm kernel shell is one of the proposed uses of waste to be a source of renewable fuel energy to generate Synthetic Gas. However, a problem in the production of synthetic gas has arisen due to the irregularity of the sizes of the raw palm kernel shell. Hence, this project aimed to convert the raw palm shell kernels into specific sized pellets and to study the mechanical properties of the pellets.
