Abstract

Pellets are solid fuels made from biomass. This work was aimed at finding out the effect of drying time on the moisture content in sawdust-made pellets using a moisture analyzer. The pellet was divided into 4 groups and each group was experimented with up to 5 times, namely: non-drying pellet and drying pellet at 100°C for 10, 15 and 20 minutes after the pellet comes out of the pelletizing machine. The results showed that the water content of the pellet was 31% for the non-drying pellet and 22%; 21%; 15% for the drying time of 10, 15, and 20 minutes. The water content was still slightly higher than the specified standard.
