Biomass Briquette Production: a Propagation of Non-Convention Technology and Future of Pollution Free Thermal Energy Sources
American Journal of Engineering Research (AJER) 2015 American Journal of Engineering Research (AJER) e-ISSN: 2320-0847 p-ISSN: 2320-0936 Volume-04, Issue-02, pp-44-50 www.ajer.org Research Paper Open Access Biomass Briquette Production: A Propagation of Non-Convention Technology and Future of Pollution Free Thermal Energy Sources Manoj Kumar Sharma, Gohil Priyank, Nikita Sharma M.Tech. Scholar, Truba Institute of Engineering & Information Technology, Bhopal (M.P.) India M.Tech. Student, Truba Institute of Engineering & Information Technology, Bhopal (M.P.) India B.Sc. (Biotech), Student, Govt. P.G. College, BHEL, Bhopal (M.P.) India Abstract: Biomass briquettes are a biofuel substitute to coal and charcoal. Briquettes are mostly used in the developing world where cooking fuels are not as easily available. Briquettes are used to heat industrial boilers in order to produce electricity from steam. The briquettes are con-fired with coal in order to create the heat supplied to the boiler. People have been using biomass briquettes since before recorded history. Biomass briquettes are made from agriculture waste and are a replacement for fossils fuels such as oil or coal, and can be used to heat boiler in manufacturing plants. Biomass briquettes are a renewable source of energy and avoid adding fossils carbon to the atmosphere. The extrusion production technology of briquettes is the process of extrusion screw wastes (straw, sunflower husks, buckwheat, etc.) or finely shredded wood waste (sawdust) under high pressure. There is a tremendous scope to bring down the waste of convention energy sources to a considerable level through the development, propagation of non-convention briquettes technology i.e.

Determination of Flue Gas Emission Values of Cotton and Sesame Stalk Briquettes
Tarım Makinaları Bilimi Dergisi (Journal of Agricultural Machinery Science) 2010, 6 (1), 37 - 43 Determination of Flue Gas Emission Values of Cotton and Sesame Stalk Briquettes Sefai BİLGİN Bartın University, Vocational School of Bartın [email protected] Received (Geliş Tarihi): 19.07.2010 Accepted (Kabul Tarihi): 17.08.2010 Abstract: In this study, flue gas emission values of cotton and sesame stalk briquettes which were produced in a conical type briquetting machine were aimed to determine. In order to determine flue gas emission values, the briquettes were burned in a traditional bucket type stove used for household heating. In the study, flue gas emissions such as CO, CO2, SO2, NOx, H2S and O2, flue gas temperature and combustion efficiency were measured by means of flue gas analyzer. At the end of this study, when the combustion process had a steady-state condition, the flue gas emission values measured during burning of the briquettes were found to be very low. When the combustion process had a steady-state condition, the lowest CO emissions were 57 ppm and 160 ppm, average NOx emissions were 196 ppm and 146 ppm, H2S emissions were 37 ppm and 27 ppm, CO2 emissions were 7.92% and 7.41% and O2 emissions were 12.81% and 13.33% for cotton and sesame stalk briquettes, respectively. During the combustion process, cotton and sesame stalk briquettes had no SO2 emission. During the steady-state condition, the average flue gas temperature and combustion efficiency for cotton and sesame stalk briquettes were 400 C and 403 C, 70% and 69%, respectively.

Are Peat and Sawdust Truly Improve Quality of Briquettes As Fuel Alternative?
Journal of Sustainable Development; Vol. 10, No. 5; 2017 ISSN 1913-9063 E-ISSN 1913-9071 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Are Peat and Sawdust Truly Improve Quality of Briquettes as Fuel Alternative?

Tel: 62-822-5511-3782. E-mail: [email protected] Received: May 17, 2017 Accepted: July 28, 2017 Online Published: September 29, 2017 doi:10.5539/jsd.v10n5p61 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/jsd.v10n5p61 Abstract The availability of energy and fuel is always a critical issue, and currently the increasing scarcity and price of kerosene is causing problems for both households and businesses. For example, chicken farmers in Central Kalimantan need to maintain the room temperature when nursing chicks up to 12 days old, and currently have few alternatives to kerosene stoves. Non-carbonized briquettes made from a mix of peat and sawdust can provide an alternative fuel source. The sawdust is available from local sawmills, which is otherwise an unutilized waste product that is burnt off, so adding to local smoke pollution. This study was conducted to determine the optimal composition and manufacturing process to produce bricks that have a maximal calorific content whilst maintaining a long burning time and a reduced tendency to break. Analyses in the laboratory showed that the highest calorific content obtainable was 19 020.63 kJ/kg with a peat/sawdust ratio of 2:1 (20 kg of peat and 10 kg of sawdust).

The tests applied on the orange charcoal powder and on the orange charcoal powder with corn starch (5, 10 and 15 % w/w) were the proximate analysis, the elemental analysis and the determination of the higher heating value HHV) . On the other hand, some tests were carried out on the orange charcoal briquettes, which were the determination of density and the mechanical strength (compressive strength and friability). The results showed that the obtained orange charcoal (OC) has a significant high heating value of 29,000 J/g, and can be used in different processes. When mixed with the binder, its HHV has a small decrease, 27,611 J/g to OC with 5 % of corn starch, 26,857 J/g to OC with 10 % of corn starch and 26,476 J/g to OC with 15 % of corn starch, but still they are considered high values.

Biomass Briquettes: a Sustainable and Environment Friendly Energy Option for the Caribbean
Fifth International Symposiym on Energy,Puerto Rico Energy Center-Laccei, February 7-8, 2013,Puerto Rico. Biomass Briquettes: A Sustainable and Environment Friendly Energy Option for the Caribbean Dr. Musti KS Sastry1, Dr. Jacqueline Bridge2, Alvin Brown3, Renee Williams4 University of the West Indies, St Augustine Campus, Trinidad and Tobago 1,3Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, 1Email: [email protected]; 3Email: [email protected] 2,4Department of Mechanical &Manufacturing Engineering, 2Email: Jacqueline [email protected]; 4Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Since the beginning of the 21st century the cost of energy has been a significant percentage of countries’ production cost. For most countries their main source of energy has been fossil fuels. The use of fossil fuels is not sustainable as this is a non renewable source of energy. This paper outlines the adoption experiences of biobriquetting industry across the globe and current experimental investigations carried out by us. It then goes into detail about a relatively untapped option in the Caribbean – biomass briquettes, specifically countries like Jamaica where the energy import bills are very high. Biomass briquettes have been successfully used as alternative form of fuel in a number of countries. The overall bio-briquetting process from production to end-use offers solution to the disposal of harmful waste, results in a cheaper form of energy, creates new employment/ business opportunities and is very eco-friendly. Keywords: Biobriquettes, Caribbean, Alternative Energy Resources, Waste to Energy 1. INTRODUCTION With the exception of Trinidad and Tobago, all Caribbean countries are net importers of oil and gas products.
