Briquetting of dry biomass
Problem statement
Production of voluminous sidestream biomasses not being utilized in an optimal way.
Executive summary
Compacts dry biomass (straw, woodchips, bagasse many more) for transport/burning in small stoves.
Technology description
Briquetting equipment for numerous types of waste biomasses, such as straw, woodchips, sawdust, bagasse, coffee husk, groundnut shells, etc. The compaction of the biomass makes transport, distribution and storage easier and more cost-effective. At the same time, it makes it possible to burn the biomass. Often if not compacted, the biomass could not be burned.
