Sabah is a state of Malaysia located in the northern portion of Borneo, in the region of East Malaysia in a tropical geography with an equatorial climate. The palm oil industry in Malaysia is a vital economic sector that plays a central role in the country’s economy. Malaysia is one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of palm oil, and the industry has undergone significant growth and transformation over the years. Palm oil mills are integral to Malaysia’s economy, contributing significantly to export earnings, employment, rural development, GDP, and various other economic aspects.
Sabah Softwoods Berhad is 70% owned by Innoprise Corporation Sdn Bhd, the investment arm and holding company of Yayasan Sabah Group. Its core business is timber and oil palm milling and woodchip production and the company manages the running of Kapilit Palm Oil Mill in Sabah. Palm oil mills generate substantial amounts of POME, which is a byproduct of the oil extraction process that can be used to produce Biogas. The utilization of this waste product as a fuel resource in the power generation plant helps significantly to reduce its environmental footprint. This gas is treated before being used in generating sets through an H2S scrubber.
In 2014, this mill was equipped with one first Guascor Energy containerized G-56SM biogas 1 MWe genset, to fulfill the energy needs of the plant by using the biogas produced. Over time, the company saw that their power generation needs, far from being satisfied, began to increase and thought about expanding the power generation plant. Thanks to the power reliability and good experience they had with the results provided by the first Guascor Energy power generation unit, (56.000 running hours to date) the company decided to acquire a second unit, which has been recently delivered and is already up and running.
This second unit is a Guascor Energy genset, G-36SL model providing 610 kWe, with a soundproof generator in the container. This supply completes the installation of Kapilit Palm Oil Mill.
