The valorisation of oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) in the palm oil industry is
hampered by major challenges due to its poor fuel properties, which require comprehensive …

The process of biomass compaction depends on many factors, related to material and
process. One of the most important is the proper fragmentation of the raw material. In most …

In Poland the use of solid biomass obtained from intentional plantations of energy plants is
increasing. This biomass is most often processed into solid fuels. There are growing …

Biomass densification is a complex process with each biomass having a unique set of
variables from which briquettes of desirable quality can be produced. This study produced …

Densification of loose biomass improves its properties for use as fuels. To design efficient
briquetting equipment, there is a need to study properties of briquettes under different …

Turkey has a large agricultural area and produces 55–60 million tons of biomass
waste/year. This study aimed to obtain bio-briquettes from three types of dried greenhouse …

Hazelnut husk residues have a big energy potential. In this study, the possibilities of using
the agricultural residues released after the harvesting and threshing processes of the …

This article presents a modular open chamber stand which simulates the densification
process that occurs in a single channel of a pelletising die. The results of the verification …

The feasibility of α-Fe 2 O 3 catalyst addition in the in-situ catalytic fast pyrolysis of Pinewood
was considered with the focus on the variation in its shape: nano-sized non-ideal spheres …

This study examined the utilization of residues from the production of hazelnuts as a source
of biofuel. The residues were briquetted using a hydraulic briquetting machine with a …
