INTRODUCTION:
Biomass briquettes are made from agricultural waste and are a replacement for fossil fuels such as oil or coal, and
can be used to heat boilers in manufacturing plants, and also have applications in developing countries. Biomass
briquettes are a renewable source of energy and avoid adding fossil carbon to the atmosphere.
What is a biomass briquetting machine?
-Biomass briquetting machine is used to make energy fuel briquettes from biomass waste. Briquetting
machine is an energy saving machine and renewable source of energy. Biomass briquette plant project
through we can make energy efficient bio fuel briquettes from agriculture and forestry waste without adding
any chemical in biomass briquetting process. It is completely Environment friendly technology that can
produce maximum energy on Earth.
Background of the Study
Biomass briquetting machines are able to create green and healthy atmosphere from manufacturing biomass
briquettes. Biomass feedstock or agriculture waste like groundnut shells, almond shells, bagasse, jute waste,
coir pith, coffee husk, tea husk, rice husk etc... are gathered and fed into biomass briquetting machine
under high mechanical pressure without using any binder. So it known as binder less technology and
briquettes are known as 'white coal' because it does not pollute when burns. After biomass briquetting
process energy efficient briquettes are available to meet the current demand of fuel.
Rice hulls (or rice husks) are the hard protecting coverings of grains of rice. In addition to protecting rice
during the growing season, rice hulls can be put to use as building material, fertilizer, insulation material, or
fuel
In Dingras(Rice Granary of Ilocos Norte) farming is a way of life and the primary plant they plant,harvest is
rice. In the ricemills of dingras ricehusk are considered waste. And I don’t want that waste to go on waste.

Scope And Limitation
This study focuses on the design,fabrication and establishment of a convenient
and environmental friendly ricehusk briquetting machine in brgy.madamba
dingras ilocos norte. Only ricehusk and the attitive must be utilized.There will be
an additive that will be added to the ricehusk before entering the compactor in
order to compress througly and firmly.
Significance of the study
This study is significant for farmer mills able to dispose their ricehusk waste and
to make a alternative fuel. Compacted ricehusk will be an alternative solid
biomass fuel for (pottery and boilers). Using ricehusk low cost fuel rather than
using a expensive fuel.
