Moisture content
 

Moisture content directly influences the disposal of the wastes. Moisture content will decide whether they will be converting into compost or biogas or into solid fuel or be used as landfill stuffs, so if you want to make biomass briquette, it is needed to control the moisture of raw material below 15%, so if possible, we need rotary drum dryer to dry the material. After drying, the calorific value will be improved a lot.

 

As for high calorific solid wastes, briquetting is one of the ways to turn the wastes into treasure. Briquetting technology is used to densify the loose combustible materials into solid composites of different shapes and sizes with the presence of pressure and binding agents.

Generally, there are a wide range of materials that can be used to make briquettes, such as waste paper, cardboard, water hyacinth, agricultural residues, charcoal dust, and wood wastes like sawdust, Indian sniddle etc.

 

Benefits of converting wastes into fuel briquettes
 

1.Using fuel briquettes means to chop less firewood and less charcoal to buy, saving time and money and do contributions to ease the environment pressures.

2. You will get free fuel for cook if you make your own briquettes!

3. Make money by selling your briquettes!

4. To make briquettes form daily wastes means the rubbish on the streets an dumps will be reduced.

5.Briquettes have a durable quality, high burning efficiency and convenient to be stored and transported.

 

Generally, the briquettes are made through the following procedures:

 

1. Raw materials preparation: mechanical fragmentation of raw materials by a crushing machines(which is up to the quality and size of the materials and the technology applied, and the procedure can be staged).

2. Drying of the crushed materials when the moisture content is too high for briquettes production.

3. Briquette the processed materials by using various types of briquetting machines such as the screw pressing machines, stamping pressing machines and hydraulic briquetting machines). The briquettes are made in the process of pressure agglomeration.

 

Briquettes application
 

Briquettes fuel are usually used in boiler plants, heating plants, power stations and thermal power stations, as well as by individual customers for household use. It is also possible to use fuel briquettes in the fireplaces and conventional boilers that once use coals or woods with or without a little modification.
