The pyrolysis unit has six successive condensers. Thus, six fractions of bio-oil samples were acquired from the six condensers. The calorific value, water content, ashcontent, and element content of each bio-oil samples were determined. The bio-oil yield from palm kernel shell with the size of 0.15-0.5 mm and 1-2 mm were 20 and 26, respectively. The highest calorific value among the six bio-oil samples was 25.1 MJ/kg which was drawn from the forth condenser from pyrolysis of 0.15-0.5 mm of palm kernel shell. The incondensable gas was a mixture of hydrogen, methane, carbon dioxide and ethane. {\^A}{\copyright} (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.}, keywords = {Acetic acid; Calorific value; Carbon dioxide; Chemical reactors; Fluid catalytic cracking; Fluidized bed furnaces; Methane; Phenols; Process engineering; Shells (structures), Bio oil; Bio-oil yield; Element contents; Fluidized bed reactors; Nitrogen gas flow; Palm kernel shells; Reactor temperatures, Biofuels}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84904060166&doi=10.4028\%2fwww.scientific.net\%2fAMR.917.63&partnerID=40&md5=3346df07b720ce9f493502760de31823}, isbn = {9783038350521}, issn = {10226680}, author = {Norizan, A. and Uemura, Y. and Wissam, N.
