About briquettes
Briquettes have a heating value of 4 kW per kg at 80% burn efficiency.
Almost any biomass can be briquetted. Briquetting plants set so far in India are using the following to make briquettes:
- saw dust
- bamboo dust
- bagasse
- cotton stalk
- coffee husk
- groundnut shell
- straw
- mustard husk/stalk
- pine needles
- rice husk
- sugar mill waste
- jute waste
- coir pith
Plus other wastes and residues like castor shell, red gram stalk, tobacco stem, tea waste, sander dust, tree bark, wild grasses and shrubs and sander dust etc. can be also be briquetted individually or in combination WITHOUT USING ANY BINDER. Briquettes are a good substitute for, or can be used with, coal, lignite, firewood and offer numerous advantages:
- There is no sulphur in briquettes.
- Biomass briquettes have a higher practical thermal value and much lower ash content (2-10% as compared to 20-40% for coal).
- There is hardly any ash when burning briquettes, depending on the combustion system.
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 (up to 1200 kg/m3) compared to 60 to 180kg/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.
- Briquettes are usually produced near the consumption centres and supplies do not depend on erratic transport from long distances.
