Biomass: rice hulls waste-to-energy power plant
Biomass: rice hulls waste-to-energy power plant
(OP)
About biomass fueled power plants: using rice hulls to fuel power plants was not very succesful in the late 1980s.Problems: high emissions (PM, NOx), boiler slagging, fuel logistics. Does anyone know about possible new technical developments resulting in a more promising future for the application of rice hulls waste-to-energy? Many thanks for your help in advance!

I don't know how efficient this system would be but the fuel seems inexpensive and the greater surface area should lead to better combustion, processing may be difficult to powder the hulls and the fuel injection system may be complex, Fouling in the cylinders could also be a problem.
I think a low speed engine would be best.
Just an Idea, Dan76

There is a nice piece concerning burning bagasse on this website:-
http://energyconcepts.tripod.com/energyconcepts/bagasse.htm
The information is aimed at older bagasse type boilers on plantations in SE Asia, but there is very good information concerning grate areas and "blast". And there is a nice historical backgrounder..
