Rice husk pellets have fiber content up to 75%, so they are easy to catch on fire, when burning, there is no smoke, a very pleasant smell, and the ability to maintain the burning of rice husk firewood longer than other fuels such as coal, firewood, gas and pressed rice husk can be used to fuel many traditional and modern furnaces.
Uses of rice husk pellets
Rice husk pellets can be used as a substitute for coal, DO, FO or charcoal used to burn industrial boilers, seafood processing, agricultural products and food. It is very convenient to replace fuel with rice husk firewood because it is possible to use coal-fired furnaces without changing the original design.
Although the heat of Gas, DO oil, FO oil is 3 times higher than coal and rice husk firewood, the cost of Gas, DO, FO is 15-20 times higher. Using pressed rice husk to create mixed gas to replace Butane gas, the economic efficiency will be very high. Current equipment can generate from 1.6m3 – 2.6m3 Gas mixture from 1 kg of husk pellets.
Rice husk pellets are used as fuel instead of traditional fuels, both reducing costs, not depending on fossil fuels that are increasingly depleted and volatile, and contributing to reducing the greenhouse effect. Moreover, the ash generated in the process of burning rice husk firewood will be a very necessary source of raw materials for other industries.
Benefits of using rice husk pellets
– Low cost, high energy.
– Increase boiler life because of low amount of ash.
– Convenient transportation.
– Simple to use, easy to clean.
– Save storage space.
– Does not pollute the air and the environment (because no additives are used in the production process).
– Making use of the ash as a clean fertilizer and raw material in the steelmaking and cement manufacturing industries…
