「In response to the odor problem identified as an issue in handling biomass fuel made from palm kernel shells (PKS), the company confirmed that treatment with slaked lime reduces organic acids and has a deodorizing effect. It aims to expand its biomass fuel business by commercializing the process and establishing the deodorization technology.」
The note states that the deodorizing effect of slaked-lime treatment was confirmed as a countermeasure against the PKS odor problem, and that the company plans to advance commercialization and establish the technology. - FY2018RestatedAnnual report
「The company improved its proprietary technology for efficiently analyzing and evaluating the properties and calorific value of biomass fuel made from palm kernel shells (PKS), and began developing alternative fuels such as wood chips and walnut shells, contributing to the expansion of its biomass fuel business.」
The note reports improvements in biomass fuel analysis and evaluation technologies and the start of development of alternative fuels for PKS. - FY2018-Q3AdvancedAnnual report
「Sales of PET resin raw materials, biomass fuels and secondary-battery materials also increased.」
