[top] [end]Biomass Briquetting Machine manufacturers, supplier, exporters company

Hi-Tech Agro Projects (P) Ltd. is a reputed Indian company and has been engaged in manufacturing and marketing of Biomass Briquetting & Municipal Solid Waste Processing Plant & Machinery since 20 years.More than 200 nos. of Briquetting machines have been supplied by the company in India and Overseas. Our company is approved list of Suppliers in IREDA Ltd. (A Govt. of India's leading Financial Institution).

Biomass Briquetting :Every year millions of tons of agricultural wastes are generated which are either destroyed or burnt inefficiently in loose form causing air pollution. Handling and transportation of these materials is difficult due to low bulk density. These wastes can provide a renewable source of energy by converting into high density - fuel briquettes without addition of any binder.

[top] [end]Concept

The process of " BRIQUETTING " is the physical transformation of theloose raw material into high density fuel briquettes through a compactly compressed unit. The form change results in a much higher specific density of the material which increases its combustion efficiency as compressed to the loose material.Energy is the key factor in economic development of the country. By the turn of the century our requirement of energy will increase rapidly. it is expected that approximately 450 million tons of coal, 80 million tons of crude oil and 150 tons of fire wood will be required at that time to meet the domestic demand. It is unlikely that we can meet the requirement of fire wood or coal if we have to stop the already deteriorating ecology. Results of fossil fuels are also limited, which has resulted in the universal recognition of the need to tap energy from non-conventional sources.The Agricultural and Forest Wastes and Residue can be converted intofuel briquettes i.e. " BIOCOAL ".

[top] [end]Briquettes-the cheapest fuel

Briquettes produced from briquetting of biomass are fairly good substitute for coal, lignite, firewood and offer numerous advantages:-
  • Briquettes are cheaper than COAL, OIL or LIGNITE once used cannot be replaced.
  • There is no sulfur in briquettes.
  • Biomass briquettes have a higher practical thermal value and much lower ash content (2-10% as compared to 20-40 % in coal).
  • There is no fly ash when burning briquettes.
  • Briquettes have a consistent quality, have high burning efficiency, are ideally sized for complete combustion.
  • Combustion is more uniform compared to coal and boiler response to changes in steam requirements is faster due to higher quantity of volatile matter in briquettes.
  • Unlike coal, lignite or oil, briquettes are produced from renewable source of energy, biomass.
  • Briquettes have high specific density (1200 kg/m3) compared to 60 to 180 kg/m3 of loose biomass.
  • Loading/unloading and transportation costs are much less and storage requirement is drastically reduced.
  • Briquettes are clean to handle and can be packed in bags for ease of handling and storage.
  • Briquettes are usually produced near the consumption centers and supplies do not depend on erratic transport from long distances.

[top] [end]What can be briquetted

Almost any biomass can be briquetted. Briquetting plants set so far in India are using Saw Dust, Bamboo dust, Bagasse, Cotton Stalk, Coffee husk, Groundnut Shell,Mustard Husk/Stalk, Pine Needles, Rice Husk, Sugar Mill Waste, Jute waste, Coir pith and other wastes & residues like Castor Shell, Red Gram Stalk, Tobacco stem, Tea Waste, Sander Dust, Tree Bark, Wild Grasses & Shrubs and Sander dust etc. can be also be briquetted individually or in combination WITHOUT USING ANY BINDER.

[top] [end]Where to Sale

The demand for briquettes is created whenever a new briquetting plant is setup in any new area and prospective users come to know about briquettes and their availability. Common users are brick kilns and mills and factories having boilers or air heating requirements.
