AGICO Briquette Presses

Biomass briquettes are used for biomass energy generation, and these briquettes can produce green electricity with none of the disadvantages that using fossil fuels to generate electricity has. Biomass energy sources will replace large amounts of fossil fuels to meet the energy demands of the future, and briquettes are part of this future. These products can be made from almost any organic material, from weeds and grass to agricultural waste and municipal solid waste. The biomass material is greatly compressed, making a solid brick or disk of biomass that offers a substantial amount of heat. A Briquette is an Ideal Fuel due to, eco friendly and Renewable Energy Fuel. Economical and Cheaper than other solid fuels like coal and wood. Higher Thermal calorific value around 4000 Kcal/Kg. Pollution free because there is no sulphur or any hazardous materials. There is no fly ash when burnt. Contain High Density and Higher Fix Carbon Value. Combution is more uniform compared to other fuels. Good Market due to rise in price of fossile Fuels.

Biomass briquettes have benefits over coal like
 Easy handling, packing and transportation of briquettes can be made in any conventional length and diameter.
 Low ash content below 10% in comparison to coal 25 to 40% resulting in less boiler ash disposal problems.
 Regular supply of briquettes do not suffer from transportation bottle necks as the plant can be set up near raws areas.
 There will be no corrosion effect on boiler equipments resulting in negligible maintanance cost. Coal on the other hand produces sulphur dioxide, which on mixing with moisture produces sulphuric acid an corrosive acid.
 It has low ignition point, when compared to coal.
 It gives sutained combution and more efficient combution than loose agro wastes.
 It is a clean fuel.
 No gas and effuluents like coal. So no health hazards.
 Easy Handling compared to loose husk and fire wood. Can be mixed with coal and fire wood of inferior quality which improves burning.
 Bruquettes are Cheaper than coal.
 High Sulphur content of oil and coal, when burnt, pollutes the environment. There is no sulfur in briquettes. Biomass briquettes have a higher practical thermal value and much lower ash content 2-10% compared to 20-40% in coal.
 There is no fly ash in burning briquettes.
 Briquettes have a consistent quality, have high burning efficiency are ideally sized for complete combution. Combution is more uniform compared to coal and boiler response to change in steam requirements is faster due to higher quantity of volatile matter in briquettes.
 Briquettes are usually produced near the consumption centers and supplies don't depend on erratic transport from long distances
