Rice Mill

The rice milling industry can use rice husk as fuel, the rice husk boiler generates steam for the industry's steam and electricity needs. In rice mills, the rice husk firing boilers are providing steam for rice processing, or even driving force for power generation.

It is reported that one tonne of paddy produces 200 kg of husk, of which at least 180 kg could be recovered to be used as fuel. The heat value of husk was about 5 kWh/kg. 180 kg husk at an over all efficiency of 70 % in co-generation plant can supply 437.5 kWh energy. The rice husk biomass boilers in rice industry not only solve the problem of husk waste treatment, also reduce factory's fuel cost.
