Hello all,

I have determined the calorific value for different textile waste  generated and fuel used from a textile industry which are as follows: -

 

Textile fabrics :  8.57675 MJ/kg

ETP Sludge : 7.5 MJ/kg

Cardboard : 8.1 MJ/kg
Fly Ash : 11.3 MJ/kg

Coal : 13.6 MJ/kg
My aim is to make a briquette with correct proportion of waste mix having highest energy yield. I have attached an excel data sheet for calculating for the highest GCV yield briquette.Am i proceeding in the right direction?  

 

I am having some confusion in calculating the energy content of the mixed waste . Please help me.
Thank you :)

Akshay ,

You are in the right direction , the next step should be to calculate the energy / briquette which the summation of GCV of individual (J/kg) * Mass of individual (kg)  leading to 410 J /  briquette .
