Analysis The Effect of Coconut Shell Charcoal Mixed Doses and Adhesive In Characteristics Jamu Dregs Briquettes

Briquette is an alternative simple fuel that has a relatively high calorific value, so it the potential to reduce use of firewood and oil (BBM). Herbal waste one biomass materials came from rest material in production herbal medicine made medicinal plants. Utilization dregs as briquettes been implemented by PT. Industri Jamu dan Farmasi Sido Muncul. Tbk, for boiler engines. Making requires addition materials, which coconut shell charcoal adhesives such molasses tapioca flour improve physical properties briquettes. Briquettes with good quality have maximum moisture content ash 8%, heating value more than 5000 cal/gram, constant combustion temperature 350℃ long period time easily flammable. The purpose this study was determine characteristics based on water content, temperature, rate, value. Variable treatment several doses 10%, 20%, 30% variations adhesive materials. Data analysis performed using two-factor ANOVA statistical test. results showed composition had best compared other variations.
