70-90mm Mustard Briquettes

Mustard Briquettes are solid biofuel made by compressing mustard crop residue (stalks and husk) into dense cylindrical logs ranging from 70mm to 90mm in diameter. With a calorific value of 3600 kcal/kg, moisture content around 8%, and ash content under 10%, these briquettes serve as an efficient and eco-friendly fuel for boilers, industrial heating systems, and rural thermal applications. At just Rs 8.5/kg, they offer both environmental and economic benefits over fossil fuels.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Moderate Calorific Value (3600 kcal/kg): Suitable for consistent thermal output.

• Crop Waste Utilization: Made from post-harvest mustard residueno chemicals.

• Low Moisture (8%): Facilitates efficient ignition and stable combustion.

• Ash Under 10 Relatively clean compared to raw agricultural waste.

• Cost-Effective Fuel: Priced affordably for industrial and rural use.

• Custom Size Range (70-90mm): Compatible with various solid-fuel systems.

Applications & Use Cases:

1. Industrial Boilers:
   Suitable for small to medium-scale steam boilers used in agro-processing and manufacturing.

2. Hot Air Generators & Furnaces:
   Ideal for operations like drying, roasting, and heating where medium BTU fuel is needed.

3. Rural Energy Systems:
   Used in biomass gasifiers and thermal units in off-grid locations.

4. Institutional Kitchens & Community Heating:
   Alternative to firewood or coal in large-scale cooking or space heating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1. What are mustard briquettes made from?
A1. They are made from compressed stalks and husks left after mustard harvestingno chemical additives.

Q2. How does the energy value compare to other biomass fuels?
A2. Mustard briquettes offer a moderate 3500 kcal/kg, which is lower than pellets but suitable for many industrial boilers and heating needs.

Q3. What types of boilers can use these briquettes?
A3. Any solid-fuel boiler designed for biomass, especially those accepting 7090mm briquettes, can use mustard briquettes.

Q4. Are they better than burning raw mustard residue?
A4. Yes. Briquetting reduces smoke, improves combustion, lowers storage volume, and increases energy efficiency.

Q5. Is ash disposal easy?
A5. Yes. With ash content under 10%, mustard briquettes leave manageable residue that can often be used as soil conditioner.

Q6. Can they be used year-round?
A6. Yes. They can be stored dry for use throughout the year without losing heating value.
