Briquettes and pellets can be used instead of firewood and coal for stoves and boilers due to their good flowability, uniform water content, grain size and chemical composition. Briquettes and pellets are the densification of fuel. In this post, we would like to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of fuel densification.
The main advantages of fuel densification compared with not densified fuels are as follows:
Increased bulk density after the densification, this reduces transport costs, reduces the need for storage space, and simplified the handling of the fuel.
Increased energy density and more homogeneous composition provide better options for burning, and therefore a more efficiency combustion process.
The main disadvantage of fuel densification is the relatively high cost of input energy, which is needed for the production of pellets and briquettes. This will also increase the price of the output product. The output product is in the form of briquettes or pellets. Calorific value, water content and chemical composition are approximately same for both, but the density and strength is usually higher for pellets. The main difference is in size. Pellets are 4-5times longer than their diameter, while briquettes have a diameter of 80-90mm. briquettes and pellets provide a simple use in the fully automatic operation from home use to large scale applications.
