Diesel-oil-powered irrigation pumps presently irrigate millions of small farms in India. These dispersed diesel irrigation pumps can potentially be fueled by producer gas obtained from gasifying biomass feed stocks. The most common size of these diesel engine-operated pumps falls between 5 and 10 hp [3]. Most of the gasifiers installed in India are of down draft type and properly sized wood pieces are commonly used as the fuel. In the presentenergy scenario, the forest resources are diminishing and the requirement for wood is increasing day by day due to the increase in population. However, the production of firewood is decreasing due to the destruction of our forest cover. The gap between consumption and recorded production of fuel wood seems to be widening. Urgent steps are needed to stop unscrupulous felling of trees to prevent more damage to environment and destruction of our forests. Fortunately availability of agricultural and agro-industrial residues is increasing day by day due to increase in agricultural production. In spite of very high-energy potential of these residues, it cannot be used in small/medium gasifiers. The ideal answer in this situation is to convert these residues into high density (1200 kg/m3 ) and high-value solid fuel (3500 to 5000 kcal/kg), i.e. briquettes [5]. According to our survey of Gujarat state, it was found that most of the briquetting plants situated in this state have a die and punch mechanism. The diameter of briquettes produced is 60 and 90 mm size. These sizes of briquettes are difficult to use in small/medium gasifiers [2]. There is a need to produce biomass briquettes of smaller diameter.
