Palm Briquette

Substitution for Firewood

Palm briquette is one which takes palm waste products (palm fibre), compresses it and then extrudes it to make a uniform solid 7cm cylindrical shape which can replace firewood. There are no binders involved in this process. The natural lignin in the fibre binds the particles of fibre together to form a solid. Burning a palm briquette is far more efficient than burning firewood. Moisture content of a briquette can be as low as 12%, whereas green firewood may be as high as 65%. Palm briquette can be used in industrial boiler, furnace & foundries klin and residential & commercial in steam generation and heating purpose.

Substitution for Conventional Fuel

As the awareness of global warming issue, people are looking for alternative and ideal green fuel to substitute the conventional fuels such as coal. Palm briquette is one type of renewable energy which helps to reduce the content in the atmosphere through zero carbon emissions; it is definitely a good choice for a pollution free environment.

Palm Briquette is an Ideal Green Fuel due to

• Eco friendly and Renewable Energy Fuel.
• Economical and Cheaper than other solid fuels ie. Coal and Wood.
• Higher Thermal calorific value around 4000 Kcal/Kg.
• Pollution free because there is no sulphur or any hazardous materials.
• Lower ash content 2 to 5%. There is no fly ash when burnt.
• Consistent high burning efficiency due to the low moisture.
• Contain High Density and Higher Fix Carbon Value.
• Easy for Transportation, feeding & combustion due to unique shape.
• Combustion is more uniform compared to other fuels.
• Good Market due to rise in price of Fossil Fuels.
