Abstract -

Many developing countries produce huge amount of agro waste. The disposal of this waste is a major problem. The residues like wheat and rice husk, sawdust from carpentry shops, groundnut shells, and dry leaves from plants are available in a large quantity. Apart from the problems of storage, transportation and easy handling of this waste, burning of biomass in grates poses a greater problem of widespread air pollution. Biomass pellets are a well-liked sort of biomass fuel, generally made up of wood wastes, agricultural biomass, commercial grasses and forestry residues. In addition to savings in transportation and storage, pelletization of biomass facilitates easy and price effective handling. Dense cubes pellets have the flow ability characteristics almost like those of cereal grains. The even geometry and structure of biomass pellet helps in automatic feeding. Densely packed biomass pellets help in good durability in transport and storage. Pellets if densely packed and the moisture content is low the combustible properties can be increased.
