Eco-friendly fuel briquettes

It's the 21st century. The era when humanity began to develop alternative energy sources with giant strides. If many people have heard about solar energy or wind farms, then fuel briquettes will be a discovery for most.

Plyterra Group realizes its environmental responsibility and strives for the most rational and efficient use of resources. Production is waste-free.

Fuel briquettes are produced from wood dust which remains during plywood production. Biomass/fuel briquettes are an environmentally friendly product. Such fuel is produced from birch sawdust and wood dust, pre-dried, compressed under high pressure and high temperature. Bonding occurs due to the release of lignin which is contained in plant cells. After that, the briquettes are cooled and packed.

Advantages of fuel briquettes:

• Convenient shape and compactness;

• After heat treatment, briquettes acquire biopersistance to the effects of fungus, mold and insects;

• The calorific value of briquettes is more than 2 times higher than that of firewood: according to this parameter, they are equivalent to coal;

• The high density of the material ensures long combustion: they need to be put in the boiler or furnace 3-4 times less often.;

• When burning briquettes, carbon monoxide and detrimental compounds are not released;

• The ash content of the material is only 1-3% (for comparison: the ash residue after burning wood chips is 15-18%, coal is 35-40%).

It is an environmentally friendly product made of 100% wood and it does not contain any chemical additives. Plyterra Group briquettes are manufactured on patented German RUF technology that indicates the high quality of products.
