At M/s Anand Engineer's, our ultimate goal is to support India’s mission to become a pollution-free nation. Through the development and promotion of clean, renewable energy solutions like biogas and CBG/CNG plants, we are committed to reducing environmental pollution, conserving natural resources, and advancing sustainable development.
Bio-Coal Plants are advanced facilities that convert agricultural residues, forestry waste, and organic biomass into bio-coal (or green coal) — a renewable and eco-friendly alternative to conventional coal. Bio-coal is produced through processes like torrefaction, carbonization, or briquetting, where biomass is heated under controlled conditions to improve its energy density, calorific value, and combustion efficiency.
These plants play a vital role in sustainable energy production and waste management by utilizing abundant biomass resources that would otherwise be burnt in open fields or discarded. Bio-coal can be used in thermal power plants, industrial boilers, brick kilns, and cement factories, significantly reducing dependence on fossil coal.
Feasibility Study & Planning
The process begins with a detailed feasibility study to evaluate the availability of biomass (crop residues, forestry waste, agro-industrial by-products), land requirements, water access, logistics, and market demand for bio-coal. This ensures the project is technically and financially viable.
Site Selection & Layout Design
A suitable site is chosen, ideally close to raw biomass sources and transport networks. Plant layout is planned to include storage areas, processing units (dryers, torrefaction/carbonization reactors), briquetting/pelletizing machines, and finished goods warehouses.
Biomass Collection & Storage Setup
Infrastructure is created for the collection, segregation, and storage of raw biomass. Covered storage units or silos are established to prevent moisture absorption, which is critical for producing high-quality bio-coal.
Pre-Processing & Drying System Installation
Dryers, shredders, and crushers are installed to reduce the size of raw biomass and lower its moisture content. Pre-processing ensures uniformity, which improves efficiency in the torrefaction or carbonization stage.
Quality Testing & Storage
A lab setup is added to monitor calorific value, ash content, and moisture of the bio-coal. The finished bio-coal is then stored in dry warehouses, ready for industrial supply.
Power & Utility Setup
Power supply (grid or renewable), water lines, and backup systems are installed to ensure continuous operations. Some plants also use waste heat recovery systems to improve efficiency.
