PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Ireigns Farms Limited supplies high-quality Palm Kernel Shells (PKS) – a clean, renewable, and cost-effective biomass fuel derived from the hard shells of palm kernel nuts. Our PKS is a byproduct of palm oil production, carefully processed, screened, and dried to meet international energy and industrial fuel standards.
Palm Kernel Shell is recognized globally as a sustainable alternative to coal, offering high calorific value, low ash content, and minimal sulfur emissions. It is widely used in power plants, industrial boilers, gasifiers, and biomass energy facilities as an efficient fuel source.
Our PKS is sourced from trusted Nigerian palm oil mills, processed under strict quality control, and packaged for both local and international markets.
