About Groundnut Husk

Natural Biomass resource suitable for heating and energy generation. Renewable energy source can be derived from Groundnut Shells.

Groundnut Shell: The outer shell of groundnuts or peanuts, is a rich source of biofuel. Groundnut shells may be processed into high-energy pellets or compressed into biomass briquettes to provide environmentally beneficial options for power generation and heating. The use is in line with sustainable energy practices as it not only manages agricultural waste but also helps to lessen reliance on non-renewable fuels.

Extracting Groundnut Shell: Harvesting, uprooting or shaking the peanuts to dislodge them, drying them to harden the shell, threshing them to separate them and winnowing them to remove the shells using air currents are the steps involved in extracting groundnut shells from groundnut. The cleaned and graded peanuts are kept and depending on particular requirements and available technology, the separated shells which are considered byproducts may go through further processing for uses including the generation of biofuel.

Applications for Groundnut Shell:Groundnut shells are frequently burned directly in industrial boilers as loose biomass. They are also used as a feedstock to make biofuels, namely pellets or briquettes, which are used in place of coal in industrial heating systems.

PropertiesHigher Heating Value: The higher heating value (HHV) of Groundnut Shell ranges between 3900 -4200 kcal/kg.

Moisture Level:The moisture level of Groundnut Shell ranges between 10% and 15%.

Ash Content:The ash content of Groundnut Shell is 8% to 12%. This low ash content contributes to cleaner combustion and less residue.

AdvantagesCsloryy Energetic Value: Groundnut shells possess a high calorific value, delivering potent energy output for efficient heating and power generation purposes.

Economic Cost-Effective: Groundnut shells offer an affordable energy alternative, providing a cost-effective option for heating and power generation needs without sacrificing quality or performance.

Suffieive acces Readily Obtainable: With widespread availability, groundnut shells ensure easy access and a steady supply for various energy production requirements

Eco Environmentally Sustainable: Utilizing groundnut shells as fuel supports carbon-neutral energy practices, reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainable energy solutions..
