The Utilization of Water Hyancintb Eichornia crassipesforBasicComodity of Briquette in Order to Alternative Fuel

Water hyancinth growth in waters comodity and high cellulose compound,handling of water hyancinth is need so that water hyancinth doesn 'tdestructive waters ecosystem. Briquette from water hyancinth is one of solution to make use water hyancinth.this research aims to look for briquette optimum binder degree of water hyancinth and detect the best kind of water hyancinth briquetted who can developed to alternative fuel.The result shows that the best briquette characteristics charcoalfrom water hyancinth briquette with optimum binder is 5%,formixture briquette with optimum binder is 12,5%, and in biobriquette water hyancinth the optimum binder degree is 15% analysis leastsignificant difference shows best kind of water hyancinth briquette result is mixture briquette, i.e. calorific value as is 3061 cal/g,density 0,33 g/cm', persistencepresses 6,60 kg/m1, carbon degree 38,30%, water degree 6,40%, volatile matter degree 41,90%, and ash degree 13, 40%.
