Paddy husk as a biomass fuel.
Rice husk is a by-product of rice growing. The prevalence and year-round production of rice crops on both an industrial and small scale means that rice husks are an attractive biomass fuel because they are not only readily available in large quantities but are also easy to collect. Furthermore, combusting the husk solves the problem of waste husk disposal. Husk-based power plants have the potential to be not only viable, but highly portable, provided that the fuel properties are well understood and that the fuel is combusted using equipment which is specially designed, and therefore enables cost effective exploitation.
Advantages of rice husk pellets:
1) Good to environment.
Rice husk pellets as a biomass fuel will ease the environment pressures caused by fossil fuel combustion. Comparing with the burning of rice husk, the burning of rice husk pellets is much more clean. The ash content is around 15 to 16 % when burning directly which will be largely decreased to 6 to 7 % when it is burned in pellet form.
2) Convenient
Rice husk pellets are highly densified and compacted into small size, which make their storage and transportation much easier and convenient. On the other hand, the small, regular and uniform shaped rice husk pellets make the feeding of automated heating system more easily.
3) High effectiveness
Comparing with burning directly, rice husk pellets can burn longer and the combustion rate of rice husk pellets can be above 95%. The characteristics comparison of rice husk and rice husk pellets are shown is the below form, for your reference:
Comparing with wood, rice husk pellets is also proved effective. Rice husk pellets has a low moisture content of 7 to 8%, which doesn’t need to consume energy to burn it off, making the burning of rice husk pellets effective.
4) Wide application.
Rice husk pellets can be applied in many appliances. It can be burned in heating furnaces, boilers, pellets stoves and traditional stoves, and other heating systems.
After analysis the advantages of rice husk pellets, don’t you think it is a good chance to make use pellets fuel in your power generation? If you have any questions on paddy husk pellet supply, please feel free to contact us.
