Abstract: Chrysanthemum is an herb that uses as an ingredient in many types of ready-todrink beverage. After production process, its residual remains as a solid waste. In this study, solid bio-fuel pellet was developed and characterized its physical and combustion properties. The pelleting used a hydraulic press with manual supply pressure of 5 ton to produce single pellet per time without adding any binder or additive. The pellet characteristics were compared to various standards. The results showed that the average diameter of the pellet was 10.25 mm with the average length of 11.12 mm which was in the standards range. The bulk density of chrysanthemum significant increased from 115 kg/m3 in original form to 619 kg/m3 in pellet form. The chrysanthemum pellet had density of 1,040 kg/m3, heating value of 15,887 kJ/kg and durability of 98.9% which was higher than the standards. Moreover, the moisture content of 9.84 wt% and ash content of 4.68 wt% for chrysanthemum pellet was also agree well with the standard. The pelletization also improved the combustion rate and heat release rate of 0.059 g/min and 826 J/min (original form) to 0.184 g/min and 2,926 J/min (pellet form). The obtained pellet had energy density of 16.52103 MJ/m3 with compressive strength in vertical and horizontal direction of 1,009 and 40 N/cm2, respectively. Therefore, bio-pellet from chrysanthemum waste is a high promising alternative energy source to replace conventional fuel from fossil.
