Abstract

Energy derived from biomass plays a strategic role and ranks third in the national primary energy supply, which is 20.06% or 307,346,838 BOE. The first and second orders are still supplied by oil and coal which are non-renewable fossil energy. Meanwhile, coal production is quite large but has not been matched by domestic utilization which is only 20% of its production capacity. Industry globally as a large energy consumer has begun to utilize coal and biomass through a co-firing combustion system as an effort to utilize a sustainable and environmentally friendly energy system. Utilization of biomass together with coal often requires improving the quality of the biomass, including through a torrefaction system. In order to optimize the utilization of the coal–biomass combination for the national industry, the composition and type of biomass in the form of torrefied coal–biomass briquettes have been identified that meet the criteria for industrial fuel. In this research on the conversion of solid fuels using the Co firing method of Coal and Biomass torrefaction, the researchers will examine the effect of the torrefaction process and the composition of raw materials and grain size on the quality of solid fuel biobriquettes with SNI briquette quality analysis standards. The test parameters are the Biomass Torrefaction temperature of 200, 250 and 300 ℃, the composition of 100,75,50,25 and 0%, as well as the grain size of the sample 20, 60 and 100 #. From the results of the study, it was found that the biobriquettes produced were included in the standard category of SNI biobriquettes and material size and material composition affect the calorific value of biobriquettes.
