Biomass Briquettes are utilized to replace fossil fuels by Industries because they are green, environmentally benign, and long-lasting, as well as easy to handle.
Briquette consumers are concerned about the burning effect of briquettes. Ecostan Biofuel produces high quality of biomass briquettes with different sizes and shapes.
Briquette density has an effect on briquetting combustion. High density briquettes have a longer burn period and produce more heat. Biomass
Briquettes density is greatly influenced by the particle size and moisture content of the source material. The higher the density of the briquettes, the smaller the particle size. The density is also affected by moisture content.
Briquettes will be harmed by humidity since lignin and the bulk of binders used are water soluble. Water vapour generated during combustion from the intrinsic moisture of briquettes generates a saturated atmosphere at high temperatures, which is more crucial to briquette humidity resistance. If the briquettes crumble too quickly during combustion, the loose particles will elutriate unburned through the boiler or block the airflow.
The pressing temperature has a considerable impact on briquette quality and strength. The pressing temperature influences the softening and excretion of lignin, which acts as a natural binder to link the fibers of the feed stocks to make solid high density briquettes. The best pressing temperature is at the curve peak where briquettes attain maximum strength. Briquettes are unstable, have less strength, and are more likely to collapse during combustion, resulting in a shorter burning time and finally providing less heat.
Briquette strength increases as compacting pressure increases within the feed stock's compacting limit. When the pressure is increased, the air humidity in the feed stock decreases and the durability of the briquettes increases.
