Briquettes

A briquette (also spelled briquet) is a compressed block of coal dust or other combustible material (such as charcoal, sawdust, wood chips, peat, or paper) used for fuel as well as for kindling to start a fire.

MANUFACTURING OF BRIQUETTES

Briquette manufacture (briquetting) involves the collection of combustible materials that are not usable as such because of their low density and compressing them into a solid fuel product of any convenient shape that can be burned Using waste materials as a means to produce briquettes.

Briquettes from waste materials are commonly made from a combustible material and binder. Combustible materials include char, low-grade biomass, and bagasse. Low-grade biomass includes grasses, weeds, and thinning branches (i.e., forest waste resulting from logging), agricultural waste, sawdust, wood shavings, and leaves.
