An EFB pellet plant (1 t hr-1) was built in Mambau, Negeri

Sembilan to demonstrate the techno-economic viability in

producing high quality pellets with low ash content.

Commercial production using pressed EFB as the starting raw

material showed that the technology is technically and

economically viable to be set up either as a stand-alone production

plant or integrated with the POM.

Production line is semi-auto with 1 - 2 labour.
