Nowadays biomass is the buzzword because it is a cheap fuel which is available in world. It is extracted from plant matter through which electricity and fuel is generated. According to briquetting plant manufacturers fuel produced from biomass provide high calorific value and used is domestic as well industrial sector. Electricity can be generated through this innovative technology.
Let us understand how biomass can be converted into electricity? This is possible by setting up direct combustion plants in which the raw materials are burnt in the boiler. This is done with the help of steam electric generators to burn fossil fuels. In this way electricity can be generated. Another way is through biomass gasifier in which solid biomass breaks down to form flammable gas. The gas can be directly used for the production of electricity or heat.
Briquettes are made by crushing biomass and sawdust which is first converted into a homogeneous pulp. Then they are turned into briquettes at extreme high pressure. High pressure and pressing brings out one of the natural components of wood which is lignin. It has the property of becoming liquid at high pressure which cools down subsequently. The best part is that it binds the wood together to for briquettes.
Another question is that what can be briquetted? Almost anything can be briquetted and till date briquetting plants in India have been set up using bamboo dust, bagasse, coffee husk, pine needles, groundshell, rice husk, sugar mill waste, coir pith and others. It also comprises of other wastes and residues like red gram stalk, tea waste, sander dust, castor shell etc.
First raw material like saw dust is screened and then stalks are chopped with the help of cutter chipper cum grinder. There are materials of two or different types and they should be mixed in right proportion. Hammer mill grinder is used to grind material to get all kinds of desired shape. The raw material is carried with the help of pneumatic system to holding bins to briquetting press machine. Material is compressed with the help of taper bored die and by compression the temperature is raised and lignin comes to the surface which binds the material together. Then briquettes are formed in the shape of logs and it is pushed through cooling line to the storage point.
