Brown coal briquettes and similar solid fuels manufactured from brown coal

cpc code 11040 covers the production of brown coal briquettes and similar solid fuels manufactured from brown coal. Brown coal, also known as lignite, is a type of low-rank coal that is widely available and plays a significant role in the global energy mix. The production of brown coal briquettes is an important industry, as these fuels are used for various applications, including power generation, residential heating, and industrial processes.

The production of brown coal briquettes typically involves several key steps. First, the raw brown coal is extracted from the earth and transported to a processing facility. The coal is then crushed, dried, and mixed with a binder, such as coal tar or a synthetic resin. The mixture is then pressed into briquettes or other solid shapes using specialized machinery. Finally, the briquettes may undergo additional drying or curing processes to improve their physical and combustion properties.

The main inputs required for the production of brown coal briquettes include the raw brown coal, binders, and specialized machinery. The quality and availability of the brown coal feedstock are crucial, as the characteristics of the coal can significantly impact the final product. Additionally, the binders used, such as coal tar or synthetic resins, are important for providing the necessary cohesion and structural integrity to the briquettes. The production process also requires specialized equipment, including crushers, dryers, and briquetting presses.

The primary output of cpc code 11040 is brown coal briquettes and similar solid fuels manufactured from brown coal. These products are primarily used as a fuel source for power generation, industrial processes, and residential heating. The briquettes may be consumed by 11010 Coal, not agglomerated or 11020 Briquettes, ovoids and similar solid fuels manufactured from coal, as well as other industries that require solid fuel sources.
