BRIQUETTE PRODUCTION

Briquettes are blocks of flammable materials made from wastes of wood or Agricultural products that can be burnt to produce heat to power steam engines and can even be used domestically as a source of heat for cooking in place of firewood and charcoal. . Biomass briquettes are a renewable source of energy and avoid adding fossil carbon to the atmosphere. A popular biomass briquette emerging in developed countries takes a waste produce such as sawdust, compresses it and then extrudes it to make a reconstituted log that can replace firewood. It is a similar process to forming a wood pellet but on a larger scale. There are no binders involved in this process. The natural lignin in the wood binds the particles of wood together to form a solid. Briquettes production has the potential to generate employment opportunities for the teeming number of unemployed youths, a source of income for so many people and even a source of waste to wealth. The raw materials are also readily available as a lot of waste materials from wood and the processing of wood is available all over the country. The production technology is simple and the equipment’s are locally fabricated.
