  text: Due to shorter rotation cycles compared to other palm species, oil palm wood
    has lower densities, a wider density range (150–600 kg/m3 dry), and a high moisture
    content. The moisture content varies, reversely to the density, with the highest
    values of up to 600% at the trunk core, especially at the top of the palm trunk.
    Kiln drying material with such low density, very high moisture content and high
    sugar and starch content is difficult and often produces drying defects such as
    cell collapse, cracks, and mold. Mechanical dewatering of wet oil palm lumber
    in an unheated double roller press reduces the water content and generates sugar-containing
    pressed water (sap) that could be used as a source for biochemicals. The share
    of mechanically removed water varied from 1 to >54% of the total water removed
    from wet to dry state (at 20 °C, 65% rh). Center boards from the top of the trunk
    had the highest dewatering rates while boards from the periphery at the bottom
    of the trunk (high density, low water content) showed the lowest.
