PEMBUATAN BRIKET SEKAM PADI (ORYZA SATIVA L.) SEBAGAI BAHAN BAKAR ALTERNATIF PENGGANTI KAYU BAKAR

Abstract

Rice (Latin: Oryza Sativa L.) is a plant that is so abundant in Indonesia. Rice, which produces rice, is the main product of farmers in an agrarian country like Indonesia. In addition to producing rice, rice husk waste is also obtained. Rice husks can be used as bio briquettes for alternative fuels, reducing dependence on the use of fossil fuels for sustainable use and reducing the impact of carbon emissions. One of the innovations made is to use rice husk as the main ingredient to make bio briquettes and answer good and environmentally friendly alternative energy. There are several steps in making bio briquettes from rice husks, including, processing rice husks into charcoal, and making fabricators with variations of 1:0.5, 1:0.75, 1:1, and 1:1.25. Mixing rice husk charcoal with adhesive, and bio-briquette molding process. The results of this study will be analyzed by the Proximate Test starting from the Moisture Content, Ash Content, Volatile Matter, and Fixed Carbon in order to obtain Bio briquettes that achieve the quality.
