KARAKTERISTIK PEMBAKARAN DAN SIFAT FISIK BRIKET AMPAS EMPULUR SAGU UNTUK BERBAGAI BENTUK DAN PROSENTASE PEREKAT
Abstrak: Fossil fuel reserves
are depleting to be anticipated by
looking for alternative energy sources. Alternative
energy that many developed and researched today is agricultural waste biomass
fuel is formed into briquettes. In this research, briquettes are made from
dregs the pith of sago in the four of form, namely : cylinders, blocks, cubes
and prisms, with and without adhesive sago starch with the presentation of 5%
and 10%.
This research aimed
to determine the
effect form briquettes on the
combustion rate and determine
the physical properties
of briquettes without
carbonization process, with
or without the addition of sago
starch as an adhesive which include moisture content, ash content, volatile matter,
fixed carbon and heating value.
The results research that the form of briquettes affects the combustion
rate where the fastest combustion
speed was on
briquettes form beams,
cube and Prism.
Percentage adhesive of sago
starch affects the
early combustion time
where time is needed to
ignite the briquette greatest for
percentage 10% and
the lowest adhesive
for briquettes without
adhesives. Adhesive sago starch
is also very
influential on the
moisture content, ash
content, volatile substances,
fixed carbon and heating value. Adhesive sago starch is also very influential
on the moisture content, ash content, volatile matter, fixed carbon and heating
value. The addition of adhesive sago starch lower heating value.
