KUALITAS BRIKET LIMBAH TEBANGAN KAYU GALAM SEBAGAI SUMBER ENERGI ALTERNATIF
Main Article Content
Abstract
Left over wood felling waste is an alternative sourcse for energy from forest biomass. This research is aiming to
study the quality of briquettes made of left over galam wood felling as alternative energy raw material. Left over
galam wastes is in the form of stems, twigs, leaves, and bark of galam. The waste was burned into charcoal and grind
them into charcoal powder and formed into briquettes using a hydraulic press. The briquetting process wasconducted
using two variations in pressure and the percentage amount of adhesive mixed. The charcoal briquettes produced were
then analyzed for quality and it was compared to the Indonesian standards (SNI 01-6235-2000) and other quality
standards for commercial briquettes. Results showed the calorific value at briquettes from stem, twigs, leaves and galam
bark between 5139.01–6948.50 cal/g, moisture content 3.91–24.45%, ash content 3.08–12.49%, and volatile
matter 23.91–37.54%. In general the quality of galam wood briquettes shows a high heating value, so that it could be
used as a new biomass-based alternative energy.
