Abstract
Bottom ash (BA) is a waste categorized as B3, so the disposal process requires special handling and costs. The use of coal as fuel which is increasing in various industries, especially the textile industry, has caused BA generation to be an interesting issue to study. On the other hand, economic activities and production in the urban area leaves problems in the form of municipal solid waste (MSW). This paper aims to utilize both of two wastes to become a fuel product as well as being one of the solutions to environmental problems. The method used in this study is the manufacture of briquettes made from BA and fermented of MSW called Biomass Coal Fermented (BCF) briquettes. Briquette printing uses starch adhesive. The formulation used is 60% BA and 40% MSW. The briquette product then is tested in the boiler-1 of textile industry with a fluidized bed type where the BA produced. The results showed that with 10% substitution of briquettes on the use of coal, combustion efficiency increased by 48%. The results of air emission measurements show values below the air quality standard for particulates, SO2, and NO2. While compared to boiler-2 without substitution (100% using the same coal) there was an increase in particulate matter and NO2 respectively by 28% and 2%. But there was a decrease in SO2 value as much as 67%. From the results of this temporary trial, the potential of BCF briquettes can be an alternative fuel in the industry while it could reduce the generating BA and MSW.
