PROJECT PROFILE ON PELLETISING OF AGIRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL WASTE FOR USING AS FUEL |
The process of Pelletising is the physical transformation of the loose raw material into a compactly compressed unit. The form change results in a much higher specific density of the material which increases its combustion efficiency as compared to the loose material. Depending upon the type of waste binder may be added.
The following agro crop residues, agro industrial residues and other process by products can easily be converted into fuel pellets. |
