Production of Loose Biomass Briquettes from Agro and Forestry Wastes

There has been a recent push to replace the burning of fossil fuel with biomass. The replacement of this non-renewable resource with biological Waste would lower the overall pollution of the world. Agricultural and forestry waste into useful biomass briquettes, which can also be used as a substitute for coal. The biomass wastes like Banana leaves, saw dust, rice husk, coffee husk, Groundnut shell that are gathered and compressed into briquettes, these briquettes can also be transported and used as fuel to generate heat. Biomass in the original form having low bulk density results in huge transportation and storage lost and cannot be used as an effective combustible fuel. Densifying biomass wastes by briquetting technology helps to reduce the above said problems and improved the effectiveness of biomass combustible fuel. There are different machine available in market but these machine are bulky and are costly. Hence here we developed a portable, low cost briquetting machine, which makes of simple mechanism to convert the biological waste into useful briquette.
