• Charcoal is a carbonaceous solid with a fixed
carbon content of 70% or more
• The drum method is suitable for the production of
coconut shell charcoal.
• The major drawback is the emission of large
quantity of smoke and tar during carbonisation
process which makes it environmentally
hazardous
• The other problems pertained to the quality and
uniformity of the charcoal produced

Introduction
• Rice straw is the dry stalks of rice plants, after
the grain and chaff have been removed.
• More than 1 million tonnes of rice straw are
produced in Peninsular Malaysia annually.
• Burning in the open air is the common technique
of disposal that contribute to air pollution.

Process
• Pellets are a type of solid fuel, generally made
from compacted residues.
• Pellets are produced by compressing the
residues which has first passed through a crusher
to provide a uniform mass.
• They are usually produced as a byproduct of
agricultural activities.
• The pellets are extremely dense with low
moisture content that allow them to be burned
with very high combustion efficiency.

• The process increases the net calorific value of
material per unit volume
• The process often helps to solve the problem of
residues disposal
• The process helps to reduce deforestation by
providing a substitute for fuel wood

Introduction
• In Malaysia, food containers, industrial packaging
and medical utensil are mostly made from plastic
either from polylactide (PLA) or polyethylene
terephthalate (PTE).
• Products made from plastic are not
environmentally friendly due to their difficulty in
composting, and costly due to the escalating
price of petroleum.
• In developed countries, these products are made
from lignocelluloses fibres that are
biodegradable.
![Page 27: Date : 21 April 2011 Venue : PNB Darby Park, KLbiomass-sp.net/downloads/sdhfsd65sda23fsdf234/D3 Forest Research... · FRIM • Five research divisions: • Forestry • Product Development](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022041203/5d50416188c9935b5a8b98f5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Agricultural Residues
• Malaysia is blessed with abundant supply of natural fibres.
• There are million of tones of agricultural residues that can be used as a raw material to produce such moulded pulp packaging products.
• Moulded pulp packaging is made from pulp which is moulded into a shape designed to hold and protect the products to be packed.
![Page 28: Date : 21 April 2011 Venue : PNB Darby Park, KLbiomass-sp.net/downloads/sdhfsd65sda23fsdf234/D3 Forest Research... · FRIM • Five research divisions: • Forestry • Product Development](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022041203/5d50416188c9935b5a8b98f5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Oil Palm Biomass
• Oil palm biomass, the most abundant fibre resource, is
readily available from existing oil palm plantations and
palm oil mills.
• Each year, the oil palm industry generates approximately
13.9 million tonnes of moisture-free cellulosic materials
to act as renewable and permanent feedstock raw
material for the production of paper pulp.
• Thus, oil palm biomass that includes oil palm trunk
(OPT), oil palm fronds (OPF) and empty fruit bunches
(EFB) could become supplementary fibre sources of
short-fibered pulps that traditionally has been produced
from hardwoods.

Some of the much improved attributes arisen from FRIM innovation are,
� Reduced negative impact on the environment
HTD system offers an alternative solution to use of chemical preservative
borates via use of high-heat treatment technique.
� Energy-efficient system
The HTD time for 30 mm-thick sawn dimension stocks is reduced to
about 2 days compared to conventional drying which requires 14-16 days.
� Cost-efficient operation
A techno-economic study shows that a complete HTD plant can be set
up with a capital investment comparatively less than that required for
setting up a conventional drying plant. The comparisons are based on
the same overall production capacity, designed for both types of kiln
system.

�Enhanced timber quality
• Minimise warping via a physical restraint protocol to maintain a
straight-form sawn timber.
• Enhanced wood grain feature and a more uniform albeit darker
colour throughout the lumber.
• Increased dimensional stability - has lower equilibrium moisture
content (EMC), less movement (shrink and swell due to
fluctuating ambient moisture) under general service condition.

CONCLUSION
� Environmentally friendly
� Cost-effective
� Just in time (JIT) stock holding
� Energy efficient
� Enhanced timber quality
� HTD the solution to chemical free rubberwood
� Ensures Malaysia’s continued dominance in the
rubberwood industries.
