Dear Kollol:

 

There have been lost of gasifiers, FB and bubbling bed for rice hulls.  See..

Subject: GAS-L: Rice - Husk

 

I wish to know if any study has been done on gasifying rice - husk using a fluidised bed gasifier - say of the Winkler type?

 

Understand in a moving bed gasifier (updraft / downdraft / crossdraft) if one has to use rice-husk as feed stock, then it has got to be briquetted as otherwise (that is if used directly without briquetting) consistence in gas quality and quantity from large gasifiers (say 500 KWe and above) is difficult to ensure, which makes power generation virtually impossible.

 

Comments please.
