Briquettes-the cheapest fuel
Briquettes produced from briquetting of biomass are fairly good substitute for coal, lignite, firewood and offer numerous advantages :
• Briquettes are cheaper than COAL, OIL or LIGNITE once used cannot be replaced.
• There is no sulfur in briquettes.
• Biomass briquettes have a higher practical thermal value and much lower ash content (2-10% as
compared to 20-40 % in coal).
• There is no fly ash when burning briquettes.
• Briquettes have a consistent quality, have high burning efficiency, are ideally sized for complete
combustion.
• Combustion is more uniform compared to coal and boiler response to changes in steam requirements is
faster due to higher quantity of volatile matter in briquettes.
• Unlike coal, lignite or oil, briquettes are produced from renewable source of energy, biomass.
• Briquettes have high specific density (1200 kg/m3) compared to 60 to 180 kg/m3 of loose biomass.
• Loading/unloading and transportation costs are much less and storage requirement is drastically
reduced.
• Briquettes are clean to handle and can be packed in bags for ease of handling and storage.
What can be briquetted ?
Almost any biomass can be briquetted. Briquetting plants set so far in India are using Saw Dust, Bamboo dust, Bagasse, Cotton Stalk, Coffee husk, Groundnut Shell,Mustard Husk/Stalk, Pine Needles, Rice Husk, Sugar Mill Waste, Jute waste, Coir pith and other wastes & residues like Castor Shell, Red Gram Stalk, Tobacco stem, Tea Waste, Sander Dust, Tree Bark, Wild Grasses & Shrubs and Sander dust etc. can be also be briquetted individually or in combination WITHOUT USING ANY BINDER.
Where to Sale ?
The demand for briquettes is created whenever a new briquetting plant is setup in any new area and prospective users come to know about briquettes and their availability. Common users are brick kilns and mills and factories having boilers or air heating requirements.
Briquettes (White Coal)
The coal made from agricultural and forest-wastes & residues in from of briquetters has been named ad Briquetted white coal. It can be efficiently used to replace coal & firewood.
The White Coal-Solid briquetters are converted From agro wastes to solid cylindrical shape. The white coal are Converted From Agro wastes using mechanical pressure without using any binders or Chemicals. This white coal Is a substitute fuel energy.
Raw Material & Finished Product
Raw Materials
Forest Industries :
Saw dust, Sander dust, Secondary pieces of wood, Tree bar and twins pine needles wild grass.
Agriculture and food industries :
Husks of coffee, sunflower, rice husk, shells of ground nut, almond & cotton stalks. Bagasse of sugar cane, Leaves and trash above sectors can be briquetted individually or in combination depending on their availability and blending properties.
Briquette is an Ideal Fuel Due to...
• Eco friendly & Renewable Energy fuel.
• Economical and cheaper than other solid fuels i.e. coal & wood.
• Higher thermal calorific value around 4000 Kcal/Kg.
• Pollution free because there is no sulfur or any hazardous material.
• Lower ash content 2 to 5%. There is no fly ash when burn.
• Consistent high burning efficiency due to the low moisture.
• Contain high density & Higher Fix Carbon value.
• Easy for Transportation, feeding & combustion due to unique shape.
• Combustion is more uniform compared to other coal.
• Demandable market due to high rise in fossil fuels price. |
