Abstract:
The global quest for new raw materials suitable for the manufacture of energy pellets is intensifying. Until being considered an energy pellet, new raw material is evaluated using different analytical methods and quality tests. In recent years, natural resources such as agriculture residue have become very common for the production of pellets. Pelletizing was carried out to use agricultural residues cob of pearl millet, and the pellets obtained were characterised in this study. The production of bio pellets started with material grinding to ensure uniformity, followed by pellet production. The pellets were formed using a standard pelletiser. Water resistance, bulk density, particle density, calorific value and ash content, and combustion characteristics were all measured to determine the quality of agriculture residue pellets.
