At Memuro town, which is one of the leading production area of red beans (azuki) and Chinese yam (nagaimo) in Hokkaido, use of agricultural residues discharged in large quantity is tried. Especially, there is a lot of the agricultural residue of Chinese yam that mixed with polyethylene net for breeding. It is difficult to separate the dirt and the polyethylene net. Therefore, for the purpose of effective utilization of the resources, we examined to produce fuel pellets. As a result, it was possible to decrease the ash content by separating the dirt adhering to the red beans shell and the residue of Chinese yam. The calorific value of the pellets mixed with the red beans shell and Chinese yam net was also improved by sediment separation.
