Continuous-flow rice husk gasifier for small-scale thermal application

Abstract

Rice husk gasification can now be done in a continuous mode with the latest design of a continuous flow down-draft rice husk gasifier. Instead of using a dual reactor, continuous firing can be achieved using a single reactor. With this development, a more convenient and lower cost rice husk technology can be made available to people who wish to use rice husks as fuel as a replacement for the high-cost LPG fuel.
