In the experimental study, the researchers will be using manure excreted by

Philippine Carabao as the main ingredient in the process of creating BioBriquettes. To

check the effectivity of the product, the BioBriquette that will be using carabao manure

will be chosen as the experimental group, while the commercialized BioBriquettes made

from plants will be the control group.

 The theory of biomass energy explained that the stored chemical energy in

biomass can be captured through several processes such as:

(1) anaerobic digestion, in this process the manure is mixed with water and fed into a

digester tank without air, this treatment allows naturally occurring organisms to produce

biogas in the absence of oxygen;

(2) direct combustion, in which the material is exposed through direct heat;

(3) pyrolysis, the thermal degradation of biomass without the presence oxygen through

heat, this results in the creation combustible gas, fuel oil, and charcoal;

(4) gasification, this is used to produce methane through heating in an oxygen deficient

environment. Through gasification, syngas or synthesis gas, a mixture of carbon

monoxide and hydrogen, can be acquired; (YPTE, 2019)

(5) co-firing, mixing of biomass and hydrocarbon energy in conventional power plants,

this process can reduce the emissions of air pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and

nitrogen oxide. (Mukhtar and Capareda,0000)

The study employs the ideas of this theory as the principal constituent of the

process design in the utilization of carabao manure in biobbriquettes.

In the study conducted by Tamilvanan (2013), he discussed the various

properties that affects the combustion characteristics of a biomass briquette, the

proximate and ultimate analysis.

To whom it may concern,

I am allowing my daughter, Arabella M. Gallego, of 12-Archimedes, to stay

within the school premises after classes on September 9, 2019, Monday, to

practice for their upcoming group performance.
