What is it about?
Palm oil fuel ash (POFA) is the by-product of burnt husk fibre and shell of palm oil from generation plant boiler that generated energy to be used in palm oil mill to extract palm oil. Studies on POFA have revealed that POFA contains high silicon dioxide (SiO2) about 40-60%, that possess high pozzolanic characteristic and has been considered as a promising pozzolan. Thus, POFA is known as a potential cement binder, which can be used as a cement replacement material in the concrete industry.
