Product Overview
A Proven Biomass Fuel for High-Thermal Industrial Applications
Palm Kernel Shell, commonly known as PKS, is the hard outer shell obtained during the processing of palm kernels. Its naturally dense structure, practical particle size, and strong thermal characteristics make it a widely utilized renewable fuel for industrial combustion systems.
TISI supplies carefully selected PKS that is prepared to meet industrial and export requirements. Each supply batch is managed through source verification, product screening, stockpile supervision, visual inspection, and loading control to reduce the presence of stones, metal fragments, soil, and other unwanted foreign materials.
With a typical calorific value of approximately 4,000–4,500 kcal/kg, PKS provides a commercially attractive alternative or complementary fuel for companies seeking to reduce their dependence on conventional fossil energy.
Strict Foreign Material Control
TISI emphasizes product cleanliness and supply consistency through screening, inspection, stockpile segregation, and supervised loading procedures.
Primary Applications
Engineered for Demanding Industrial Energy Requirements
PKS can be utilized as a primary biomass fuel or as part of a controlled fuel-blending strategy, subject to boiler design, combustion configuration, and operating requirements.
Cement Industry
Suitable as an alternative thermal fuel for cement kiln operations seeking competitive energy costs and lower fossil-fuel dependency.
Industrial Boilers
Applicable for process-steam generation in manufacturing, food-processing, textile, chemical, paper, and other industries.
Co-firing Power Plants
Can support controlled biomass co-firing programs designed to supplement coal and advance energy-transition objectives.
