Title:

Automatic Biomass Briquetting Plant

Value Proposition:

Nowadays, biomass briquettes have been regarded as a great substitute for traditional coal. In many countries, biomass briquettes are used as cooking fuels or to heat industrial boilers to produce electricity from steam.

Going green is one of the ways that we will be able to save our environment for future generations. The use of briquettes is one of the ways that we can help manage and conserve the environment. Therefore, we should embrace the continuous use of this energy source to our advantage and set up our biomass briquetting plant to make a profit now!

The increase in air pollution is a prevalent global challenge. One of the key reasons behind this sustained increase in air pollution is the burning of fossil fuels such as petroleum products and coal. In developing countries, the use of fossil fuels is common because of its wide availability. Using briquettes as fuel alternatives can substantially cut down fossil fuel consumption, thereby improving the current environmental conditions.

Summary Application:
  • Cost-effective solution for the disposal /use of agricultural and agro-industrial waste
  • It can be used for the production of briquettes for domestic as well as industrial purposes for operating furnaces, boilers
  • It can be used in dhabas and restaurants for tandoor.
Advantages:
  • Multi feedstock
  • Briquette size and density can be changed as per requirement
  • Use of locally available waste material as a binder
  • High calorific value (4500 – 6500 kCal/g)
