Utilizing pineapple waste for briquette production in Africa
The international company Del Monte has large plantations of pineapples in Kenya.
There are various raw materials suitable for briquetting, not only within the wood or agricultural segment but also within the non-biomass waste industry. Here at C.F. Nielsen, we have tested and sold briquetting presses for many different projects with non-biomass waste as raw material.
We have gathered a selection of the different raw materials in the Waste/ Non-biomass category in the boxes below. If you do not see your specific raw material, feel free to reach out to our sales department, as they can help you determine whether your raw material is suitable for briquetting.
There are usually two main purposes for briquetting non-biomass waste – either it is for volume reduction or for fuel purposes. Raw materials within the waste/non-biomass sector can be quite hard to handle both in terms of storage and transportation. Therefore, by briquetting the raw materials you reduce the volume of your raw material making it easier to store or handle in transportation, thereby reducing the cost of getting rid of your waste material.
Another valuable purpose of briquetting your non-biomass waste – is to transform your raw waste material into a sustainable energy source. Waste briquettes can be used for fuel in industrial boilers.
