Wood briquettes

Wood briquettes are one of the forms of wood biofuel used by limited number of end users. Raw material is often the same as for wood pellets. There are several types of briquettes currently available on the market: RUF briquettes, Pini-Kay and Nestro. Wood briquettes that were presented to us were made of pure sawdust from debarked trees. They had a moisture content of 7,44%, ash content - 0,23%, NCV - 17,83 GJ per mt. Particle size smaller than 0,5mm was 20,5%, 0,5-2,0 mm – 65% and above 2,0 mm -14,5%. Usually the price of wood briquettes is lower than of wood pellets.
