What are the advantages of using Briquettes compared to other solid fuels?
• Briquettes are cheaper than coal. • Oil, coal or lignite, once used, cannot be replaced. • There is no sulfur in Briquettes, thus does not pollutes the environment. • Biomass briquettes have a higher practical thermal value • Briquettes have much lower ash content (2-10% as compared to 20-40% in coal). • Combustion is more uniform compared to coal • Briquettes are usually produced near the consumption centers and supplies do not depend on erratic transport from long distances. • Briquettes give much higher boiler efficiency because of low moisture and higher density. • Briquettes, are easy to store, pack and hygienic to handle.
