description Malaysian agro-industrial sector produces considerable quantity of solid palm waste biomass and potential exploitation of this waste residue is necessary for economic and environmental aspects.

The microwave power and N2 flow rate were varied to investigate its effects on heating profile, product distribution and bio-oil composition using fixed coconut activated carbon loading. The OPS surface and bed temperature, heating rate, pyrolysis product distribution and bio-oil composition was found to be dependent on microwave power and N2 flow rate.
