Record 1 2017-06-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Combustion and Fuels (Fireplaces)
  • Biomass Energy
DEF

A densified biofuel made with or without pressing aids in the form of [cubic] or cylindrical units, produced by compressing pulverised biomass.

OBS

The raw material for briquettes can be woody biomass, herbaceous biomass, fruit biomass and biomass blends, and biomass mixtures. Biofuel briquettes are usually manufactured in a piston press.

Key term(s)
  • bio-fuel briquette

French

Domaine(s)
  • Combustion et combustibles (Foyers)
  • Énergie de la biomasse
DEF

Biocombustible densifié par compression de biomasse pulvérisée, avec ou sans adjuvants de pressage, sous forme cubique ou cylindrique.

OBS

La matière première utilisée pour produire des briquettes peut être de la biomasse ligneuse, herbacée ou fruitière, ou encore mixte, ou un mélange de biomasse. Les briquettes de biocombustible sont habituellement fabriquées dans un presse à piston.

Record 4 2013-03-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Combustion and Fuels (Fireplaces)
  • Biomass Energy
CONT

Densified biofuel made from pulverised biomass with or without pressing aids usually with a cylindrical form, random length typically 5 to 30 mm, and broken ends. The raw material for biofuel pellets can be woody biomass, herbaceous biomass, fruit biomass, or biomass blends and mixtures. They are usually manufactured in a die. The total moisture of biofuel pellets is usually less than 10% of mass.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Combustion et combustibles (Foyers)
  • Énergie de la biomasse
CONT

Biocombustible densifié fabriqué à partir de biomasse pulvérisée puis agglomérée avec ou sans adjuvant de pressage. Les granulés sont généralement produits par extrusion. Ils se présentent généralement sous la forme de pièces cylindriques, aux extrémités irrégulières obtenues par cassure, d'une longueur aléatoire, habituellement comprise entre 5 et 30 mm. On peut utiliser les matières premières suivantes pour les granulés de biocombustible : biomasse ligneuse, biomasse herbacée, biomasse fruitière, biomasse mixte ou panachages de biomasse. L'humidité totale des comprimés de biocombustible est généralement inférieure à 10 % de leur masse.
