ENERGY ANALYSIS OF WOOD POWDER MATERIAL USED AS BIOPELLET FOR ALTERNATIVE FUEL | Journal of Basic ..

Energy consumption is that as a result of current development and population growth, and it is primarily needed for manufacturing, service, transportation, and domestic purposes; however, oil reserves are diminishing. Alternative energy sources are a viable choice for addressing the ongoing energy crisis. Biomass, which has the ability to be renewable energy, is one of the alternative energy sources that can be used. Starting with raw material preparation, mixing, printing, drying, and examination, this study was conducted to determine the characteristics of wood pellets.The aim of the research was to determinethe heat value, the value of bound carbon content, and the rate of biopellet combustion consumption.In this analysis, sawdust from meranti, mahogany, and coconut were compared in proportions of 100, 50:50, and 75:25. Moisture content, ash content, flight material content, bound carbon content, and heating value were all tested in depth. Moisture content ranges from 0 to 0.727 percent, ash content from 10 to 22.2 percent, flying matter content from 50 to 70 percent, bonded carbon content from 17.5 to 30%, and heating value from 26156 to 29739 calories per gramme, according to the findings.
