Advantages:

• Zero effluent discharge from kernel recovery plant – No treatment cost of the effluent.

• Increment in the Kernel Extraction Rate (KER) - (between 0.3 – 0.6%)

• Reduction in total  kernel losses (0.1 – 0.3% to FFB)

• Reduction in the overall operational costs: elimination of claybath or hydrocyclone (zero clay consumption)

• Low maintenance cost- RM 0.12/tonne FFB processed

• Generates additional income through sales of more dry shell for fuel
