About Product Briquettes are flammable blocks of matter used as fuel. They are made from extruded or compressed shredded combustible materials. A binding agent like starch may be necessary to hold the materials together, though pressure may at times be enough. Some of the common materials used as briquettes are charcoal fines, mineral char, sawdust, chaff from rice, peanut and other crops, peat, and any biomass materials. Briquettes a promising fuel Briquettes produced from briquetting of biomass are fairly good substitute for coal, lignite, Fire wood and offer numerous advantages: • Briquettes are cheaper than COAL, OIL or LIGNITE once used cannot be replaced. • There is no sulfur in briquettes. • There is no fly ash when burning briquettes. • Briquettes have a consistent quality, have high burning efficiency, and are ideally sized for complete combustion. • Combustion is more uniform compared to coal. • Unlike coal, lignite or oil, briquettes are produced from renewable source of energy from biomass. • Loading/unloading and transportation costs are much less and storage requirement is drastically reduced. • Briquettes are clean to handle & can be packed in bags for ease of handling & storage. • The technology is pollution free and Eco-friendly. • The briquette is easy to ignite. • Continuous burning and long burning duration.
