Study of ratio of energy consumption and gained energy during briquetting process for glycerin-biomass briquette fuel

This paper investigated the feasibility of using the mixture of glycerin and biomass as an alternative fuel by measuring the energy used in the densification process and the energy gained from the briquette fuels. The correlation of the heating values between the calculated values and the actual values was also determined. Rice husk, sawdust, sugarcane bagasse, and sugarcane leaf were used as biomass. Different amounts of glycerin were mixed...
