INTRODUCTION:Biomass briquetting is the densification of loose biomass material to produce compact

solid composites of different sizes with the application of pressure. Briquetting of residues takes place with the application of pressure, heat and binding agent on the loose materials to produce the briquettes.

Why bio mass briquettes instead of coal?

1. Use of biomass briquettes has been steadily increasing as industries realize the benefits of decreasing pollution through the use of biomass briquettes.2. Briquettes provide higher calorific value per dollar than coal when used for firing industrial boilers.3. Along with higher calorific value, biomass briquettes on average saved 30–40% of boiler fuel cost.

COMPOSITION AND PRODUCTION OF EXISTED :These compressed compounds contain various organic materials,

including rice husk, bagasse, ground nut shells, municipal solid waste, agricultural waste, or anything that contains a high nitrogen content .Briquetting of residues takes place with the application of pressure, heat and binding agent on the loose materials to produce the briquettes.
