Abstract
The objective of this research was to determine the optimal proportion of biomass pellet fuel from a mixture of sugarcane filter cake and bagasse, which is a waste of energy for a household charcoal stove. The research methodology was mixing the filter cake with bagasse at various proportions and then extruded it into 10 mm diameter biomass fuel pellets and then use it as energy for boiling water on a household charcoal stove (Water Boiling Test, WBT). The results showed that the proportion of filter cake 20% at 10% humidity gave the most suitable properties with the fuel consumption was 189±3.17 g/1,000 ml of water, the thermal efficiency was 14.04±0.22%, the boiling time of the boiling water was 15.94±0.14 minutes, burning fuel consumption rate 0.71±0.01 kg/h, specific fuel consumption 0.19±0.01 which was equivalent to the firepower of 2,547±54.21 W.
