Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOil Palm Biomass As Potential Substitution Raw Materials For Commercial Biomass Briquettes ProductionA.B. Nasrin, A.N. Ma, Y.M. Choo et al.Palm oil industry generates vast amount of palm biomass. Converting palm biomass into a uniform and solid fuel through briquetting process appears to be an attractive solution in upgrading its properties and add value. In this study, raw materials including empty fruit bunch (EFB), in powder and fibre forms, palm kernel expeller (PKE) and sawdust were densified into briquettes at … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 9,472 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCharacterization and Evaluation of Charcoal Briquettes Using Banana Peel and Banana Bunch Waste for Household HeatingSumrit Mopoung, Vijitr UdeyeThe charcoal briquettes from banana peel and banana bunch wastes from dried banana industry for household heating were characterized and evaluated. A 200 L pyrolyzer was used for charcoal and wood vinegar production at 350°C pyrolysis temperature. The percent yield of charcoal and wood vinegar were determined. The effects of clay binder (0-15% w/w) on the properties of charcoal briquettes … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 12 Apr 2017 · 23,049 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDensity Equation of Bio-Coal Briquettes and Quantity of Maize Cob in Phitsanulok, ThailandPatomsok WilaiponOne of the most important crops in Phitsanulok, a province in Northern Thailand, is maize. Base on the calculation, the quantity of maize cob produced in this region was approximately 220 kton year-1. The net heating value of maize cob was found to be 14.2 MJ kg-1. Therefore, the total energy over 874 TJ year-1 can be obtained from this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,891 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDensity Equation of Cassava-Stalk Briquettes Under Moderate Die-PressurePatomsok WilaiponProblem statement: Agricultural residues seem to be the most promising energy resources for developing countries. However, the majority of them have low energy density. One of the favorable technologies for enhancing that property is briquetting. For the case of Phitsanulok, a province in Northern Thailand, cassava is one of the most important crops. Therefore, a large amount of cassava stalk … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 7,285 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Briquetting Pressure on Banana-Peel Briquette and the Banana Waste in Northern ThailandPatomsok WilaiponBanana is considered as one of the most important agricultural products of Northern Thailand. A large amount of banana peel has been left as garbage after industrial processes. The raw material is plentiful and has low economic value. Therefore, the characteristics of banana-peel briquettes including banana peel properties were investigated. The briquettes were produced with pressures ranging from 3 to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 11,911 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysical Characteristics of Maize Cob Briquette under Moderate Die PressurePatomsok WilaiponThe potential energy content of maize cob available in Thailand was calculated based on maize productivity, the residue-to-product ratio and the heating value of maize cob. It was found that the computed value was about 74.2 PJ/year. Besides, the potential energy value exceed 1,000 TJ/year was also reported for the case of five provinces of Thailand. Concerning with maize cob … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 8,087 accessesView PDF Cite
