Analisis Briket Serbuk Gergaji Kayu Jati Dengan Variasi Perekat Tar, Kanji, Dan Oli Sebagai Bahan Bakar Alternatif

The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of adhesive variation (kanji, oil, coconut shell tar) to the result of proximate analysis (volatile matter, ash content, fixed carbon), water content, heating value, specific weight, and density to sawdust briquette teak wood. This briquette blending presentation is 50% of the main ingredients and 50% adhesive. Briquettes are printed using a briquette pressing device with a pressure of 10 kg/cm2 each briquette. The result of the analysis obtained from the test of sawdust briquette of teak wood is in proximate test, the highest content of volatile matter is obtained on the oil adhesive of 89.79%. The lowest ash content obtained was on the kanji adhesive of 1.34%. The highest bound fixed carbon obtained was on the tar adhesive of 8.74%. The lowest water content obtained is on tar adhesive of 2.35%. The highest heating value obtained on the test of sawn briquette sawdust is on oil adhesive for 7143.67 cal/gram. The highest specific weight obtained is on the oil adhesive of 0.61. The highest density obtained is on the oil adhesive of 0.49 gr/cm3
