LIZIZ EFB LONG FIBER PROJECT

By Liziz Plantation Sdn Bhd

Liziz Palm Oil Mill has established in 2013. During first year of operation, Liziz Palm Oil
Mill has processed 181,000 mt of FFB. Since commissioning in February 2013, Liziz POM has
processed 396,000 mt of FFB.

EFB (Empty Fruit Bunch) is the by-product from crude palm oil mill which having low
economic value. Before latest application being developed, converting EFB to compost is
seems to be the only solution for most of the crude palm oil mill including in Liziz POM.

With average, Liziz POM has produced almost 40,000mt of Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB)
per year. At present, all EFBs at Liziz POM are being used for palm oil mulching at Lizizs Palm
Oil Estates. Apart from that, the EFBs are being dumped at EFB dumping site and 20% are
being sold to Third Party. Dumped EFBs are becoming major issues to environment and
managerial issues to Liziz POM.

Now EFB has more other application other than compost. The new application about
EFB is using the fibre nature of the EFB. There are researches about pressed and shredded
the EFB to get fibre for biomass boiler; gone through further cleaning process and extracting
long fibre for replacing coconut fibre for mattress; extracting Vitamin E from EFB Fibre.

The long EFB fibre has economic value that could be used as fibre mattress. Due to
more profitable income, we also seeing that Liziz Palm Oil Mill should also start investing in
this process to extract long fibre from EFB.

With the rising concerns over the detrimental effects due to deforestation, treebased fiber sources are becoming a scares commodity and its derivative products are being
labeled as non-environmental friendly. EFB fiber which are renewable and its processing
does not have an adverse effects on the environment, is becoming an attractive source of
fiber.

The Technology and Process Flow

The plant will consist of 1 unit EFB Press followed by 1 units of EFB Hammer Mill
which are installed continuously. The EFB is then fed into the Fiber Screen Drum to separate
the long from the short fibers. As a result, the short fiber will be sent to the disposal pit
before being used for boiler fuel and the long fiber will undergo the drying process at Single
Deck Steam Dryer before ending up at Dryed Fiber Baling Machine for baling and packaging.
