Smelting aluminum scrap in a small capacity can be done on a simple furnace crucible. As fuel furnacesused type of semi-anthracite coal briquettes, bituminous and sub-bituminous from Tanjung Enim which hasbeen through the washing process by agglomeration method using water-oil palm. Calorific value, the contentsof water and hydrogen calculated in the energy balance. Aluminum scrap smelted at a temperature 1023oK.Furnace by coal briquette which has a 23.38% efficiency,, crucible can melt 50 kg of aluminum scrap by 6.47 kgof briquettes for 1 hour 46 minutes.
