Abstract

The combustion properties of torrefied mixture of empty fruit bunch (EFB) and polyethylene (PE) plastics were investigated experimentally, for weight ratio of 95:5 (EFB: PE) and 90:10. The mixture samples were obtained from briquettes that were produced under various briquetting temperatures (150°C-190°C). The torrefaction was performed at constant temperature of 250°C and at constant nitrogen flow rate of 1 l/min. Generally, it can be said that the combustion properties such as calorific value and moisture content fulfil the minimum requirement stated by standard for commercial briquette (DIN51731). In addition, it can be said that the effect of mixture composition on the combustion properties is stronger than the effect of briquetting temperature.
