MATERIAL ENGINEERING IN THE FABRICATION OF CHARCOAL BRIQUETTES FROM SAGO TREE WASTE: PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND COMBUSTION PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
Keywords:
Charcoal Briquettes, Physical Characteristics, Combustion PerformanceAbstract
This study aims to analyze the influence of material engineering on the physical characteristics and combustion performance of briquettes made from sago tree waste. Three compositions were tested, namely 90%:10%, 80%:20%, and 70%:30%, with equal mass in each composition. The physical characteristic tests of the briquettes included moisture content, ash content, volatile matter, fixed carbon, and calorific value. Meanwhile, combustion performance testing included burn rate and temperature at various time intervals. The results showed that the material engineering at the 80%:20% composition resulted in faster combustion, while the 90%:10% composition provided more stable and longer-lasting combustion. The 70%:30% composition showed slower but stable combustion, suitable for applications requiring a longer burn time. Overall, material engineering in the production of briquettes from sago tree waste has proven to have great potential as an efficient and environmentally friendly alternative fuel, with physical characteristics and combustion performance that can be adjusted to meet various renewable energy needs
