Empty fruit bunch (EFB) is a type of biomass formed during the production process of palm oil. EFB that used to be disposed of as waste has recently been used as fuel as quantities have increased. However, EFB has a high moisture content, which lowers the combustion temperature and reduces energy efficiency.

The fuel treatment plant converts raw EFBs into high value EFB briquette. The high moisture in EFB is mechanically & thermally treated. EFB sludge oil in EFB effluent is separated and recovered for further application. The dried EFB fibres are pressed together under high pressure in a briquetting plant. Lignin in EFB fibres that function as a binder, under high pressure is liberated which then shape the compacted EFB briquette. These EFB briquettes are used for heat and power generation.
