Glycerine pitch from glycerine concentration process as alternative fuel for boiler operations

The usage of energy in world is increasing rapidly where the industries accounts 50% of world energy uses. Palm based oleo chemical are producing series of products such as fatty acid,methyl esters,fatty alcohols and glycerine which means that oil palm industries generate a number of wastes too and...
