ABSTRACT
Renewable energy is one way to deal with the scarcity of fossil energy. Biobriquette is an alternative energy that can be used as a substitute for fuel. This research aims to determine the characteristics of each variation of biobriquettes, namely moisture content, ash content, volatile matter content, bound carbon content, calorific value, and combustion test. The raw material is sawdust of Sungkai wood (Peronema canescens Jack) with carbonization method at 300 oC for 1 hour. This study used an experimental method by varying the sawdust weight of 8.7 g, 17.4 g, 26.1 g, 34.8 g with a ratio of 2:1 for each raw material and adhesive used lubricant oil. In addition, the drying temperature of the briquettes is also varied by 80 oC (A) and 100 oC (B). Biobriquettes 4B had the best moisture content and ash content with the lowest levels of 5.98 % and 1.54 %, respectively. The levels of volatile matter and fixed carbon levels are closest to Energy and Mineral Ministry Regulation Number 47 of 2006 (PERMEN ESDM) namely 4A briquettes of 59.44 % and 1B briquettes with a content of 31.57 %. Almost all samples met the standard for calculating the calorific value of Energy and Mineral Ministry Regulation Number 47 of 2006 (minimum 4400 cal/gr) with a the result of 4512-4850 cal/gr. The ignition time of all samples was in the range of 9.67-17.9 seconds, it is faster than the ignition time of coal in the range of 286 seconds. The fastest burning time was sample 3B with a time of 19.83 minutes and the longest was sample 4A with a time of 38.95 minutes. The briquettes that had the best performance in boiling 100 ml of water were 4B briquettes with a burning temperature of 462.3 oC, a burning rate of 0.4501 and a boiling time of 2.48 minutes.
