THE BIOMASS BRIQUETTES

A briquette is a processed biomass fuel that can be burned as an alternative to wood or charcoal for heat energy. The briquette is manufactured through a process called “densification” which compresses the biomass residual into a much higher dense product.

NEED FOR THE BRIQUETTING PLANT

Today environment pollution is increasing at exponencial rate and we don’t have any meaningful options to prevent it. This is the reason why manufacturers have designed biomass briquette plant to save the Global environment. The Biomass Briquette Plant helps in protecting environment and also prevents unwanted pollution around you. Inside industries, everyday new manufacturing process is carried out so it is sure that industrial waste is going to release outside. But industrialist are not sure how to use this waste material in their favour. This is why Biomass Briquette Plant concept came into existence that helps in utilising waste material properly.

MACHINERY

Through machinery the resultant form change increases the calorific value (combustion efficiency) of the product as compared to loose material. This analysis issues connected with the production and use of briquettes attends the huge potential of its possible wide spread use.It offers immense help to Corporates and NGOs to undertake these projects as an arm of their Corporate Social Responsibility efforts.

MARKET COMPETITION

Bitmap Briquettes are mostly supposed to target two main market segments:

-The mass domestic market, consisting of normal households that use wood or charcoal as daily cooking. -Business and institutional consumers. This segment includes large consumers such as restaurants, hotels, institutes etc.;

Briquettes are a competitive good to traditional solid fuels. The price per unit of energy competes with the range of other traditional fuels.

THE BRIQUETTE MANUFACTURING PROCESS

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.

RAW MATERIAL

STEP 1 : DRYING SECTION If raw material has more than 10% of moisture contains, it is required drying process, otherwise not.

STEP2 : CUTTING SECTION If raw material is longer than 20mm, it is required to cutted process, otherwise not.

STEP 3 : CONVERSION OF RAW MATERIAL The various raw material available from regions converted into powder form and homogeneous mixing of different raw materials are made. Said powder form become input for briquetting press.

STEP 4 : FEDDING SECTION The material is fed into the machine with some moisture

to ease the wear and tear in the machine and also to provide some kind of liquidity to the substance.

The machine then presses and compresses the material, thereby increasing the temperature of the raw material making it less resistance to changing it shape.

The increase in temperature makes the raw material starts to loose its physical properties hence making it easy to mould it in any form as required.

After molding the raw material in the required form, a briquette is formed which is then cooled down and then cut into pieces as required by the producer.

The briquette may be stored in a cool- controlled temperature environment for using it in the future and meeting the demand for the fuel without any interruptions.

STEP 5: CUTTING & PACKING SECTIONPrepared briquettes under aforesaid process firstly cutted in desired size and packed accordingly.

STEP 6 : FORWARDING & MARKETING Packed briquette is now ready for forwarding to desired destination and ready for sale.
