Hydrogen-rich syngas production via steam reforming of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) – A thermodynamics analysis

According to the oil world’s statistical data [1], the world production of edible vegetable oils was approximately 190 million tons in 2014/2015, which constituent of 32.71% of palm oil. The oil palm industry in Southeast Asia enjoyed prospering development, notably in the top three palm oil produci...
