Bio mass briquetting fro agro wastes

1.Tyre Retrading units
2.Tea processing units
3.Boiler for raising steam in chemical, Textile processing industries
4.Hotels and restaurants for raising steam
5.Dryers and ovens for generation of hot air and many areas where firewood, Leco and coal used.

The demand of fuel briquettes is increasing as the use of the briquettes is spreading and people becoming aware of its availability and advantages. Briquetted fuel can be used as a substitute of coal or firewood. At present it is being used in the following areas.

Briquettes have high specific density (1200kg/m3) and bulk density( 800kg/m3) compared to 60 to 180 kg/m3 of loose bio mass. These can stand the ardors of long distance transport. Loading/ unloading and transportation cost are much less and storage requirements is drastically reduced. Compared to firewood or loose bio- mass, briquettes give much higher boiler efficiency because of low moisture and density

Every year millions of tons of agricultural wastes and forest residues are generated. These are either wasted or burnt inefficiently in their loose form causing air pollution. Handing and transportation of these materials is difficult due to their low bulk density. These wastes can provide renewable source of energy by converting in to high density fuel briquettes with out addition of any binder

Briquettes produced from briquetting of biomass are fairly good substitute for coal, lignite, firewood
