Product Process | Flora Mas | Technology Information
Good quality compost is determined by several factors, primary among them is the type of raw material used. Unlike municipal solid waste (MSW), agricultural waste is usually pathogen free, and does not contain any harmful heavy metals.
Raw materials utilized in the Asia Green products are sourced from agricultural waste, guaranteeing that the compost products from this mixture are naturally organic and are not harmful to the user. Further more the supply of such materials is in abundance in Malaysia - assuring continues and consistent mixture, and constant superior quality products all the time. Usage of these 'residual wastes' that were formerly burned in the open or leached into clear stream and rivers, inevitability helps maintain a cleaner environment, and a healthier lifestyle.

RAW MATERIALS
 |
Fruit Bunches From Oil Palm Tree
Basic Raw Material - The fruit bunches are harvested and run through a steam process which loosen the fruits. The fruits are then dislodged by vigorous shaking, leaving empty fruit bunches (EFB). |
 |
Empty Fruit Bunches
By using EFB which contains high organic content and natural occurring nutrients, the raw material is 100% agricultural. Its abundance in Malaysia, guarantees consistent supply all the time. |
 |
Palm Oil Mill Effluent from Crude Palm Oil (CPO)
This is a by-product of the Palm Oil extraction process. Steam and hot water are used to sterilize and clean the crude oil, the resultant mixture of this with the residue from the oil becomes POME. POME contains substantially high contents of soil nutrient. |
THE PROCESS
 |
Shredding of Empty Fruit Bunches
Empty fruit bunches or EFB, broken down into strips of fiber by using a hammermill shredder. |
 |
Shredded EFB
With the EFB being broken down into strips of fiber, the decomposition process of EFB is much faster. |
 |
Mixing of EFB With POME & Building Piles of Windrow.
The shredded EFB is mixed with POME (Palm Oil Mill Effluent) which is rich in nitrogen and stacked up into rows of compost piles called windrows. The picture shows two rows, one before mixing and the other after. |
 |
Turning Of Windrow Piles With Turner.
The compost turner plays a pivotal role in ensuring that the process remains aerobic. Regular turning maintains the right amount of oxygen and moisture content. |
 |
Rows and rows of windrow at various stages of decomposition.
The compost site which is spread over a 20-acre site, is fully mechanized and can produce up to 1,500 metric tons per month. |
MONITORING
 |
Daily Monitoring
Monitoring of temperature, moisture, oxygen and carbon dioxide content to ensure weed seeds and harmful pathogens are destroyed in the process.
|
THE PRODUCT
 |
Bio-Organic Compost.
Composting cycle completes in about 8-10 weeks. This rich soil amendment can be used to improve any type of problem soil. |
PACKING
 |
Packing Machine With Three Discharge Chute.
The finished compost is packed into 25kg bags. |
APPLICATION
 |
Using Flora Mas
Flora Mas can be applied to barren or infertile soils to convert them to productive and viable agricultural land. It can be used as basal dressing to amend soils or it can be used as a top dressing fertilizer to provide nutrient elements like nitrogen, phospohrous, potassium, etc. |
