摘要:In this project work, briquettes are made from saw dust, rice husk and straw by using a compound lever
press technology without heating device. The briquetting equipment, compound lever press is made of wood, which
make it a very easy and cheap way of forming biomass briquettes. The process is economic as there is no need of extra
electric energy for pressing. The proximate analysis is carried out to determine moisture content, volatility, ash content
and fixed carbon. Calorific values and density of briquettes are also determined. The briquettes produced are dense,
easy to store as well as to handle. These briquettes can be used as fuels and can very well substitute coal in commercial
applications as fuel.
