BIO-OIL PRODUCTION FROM OIL PALM STEM USING FLUIDIZED BED REACTOR

Oil palm is one of the major economic crops in many countries. Malaysia alone produces about 47"/o ofthe world's palm oil supply and can be considered as the world's largest producer and exporter of palm oil. Malaysia also generates huge quantity of oil palm biomass including oil p...
