Stovers,
I am receiving a sample (so I am told) of wild rice hulls so I can compare them to white rice hulls. But I am wondering where and how much wild rice is grown around the world? Such a great rice I would think it would be in direct competition to white rice. Hulls are now being sent to co-gen plants. I am thinking the char produced may have a better use. Perhaps in retention pond filters or berms to remove contaminates etc. Thanks Frank Frank Shields Control Laboratories, Inc. 42 Hangar Way Watsonville, CA 95076 (831) 724-5422 tel (831) 724-3188 fax [email protected] www.compostlab.com _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Choppalli Venkata Krishna Sent: Wednesday, October 12, 2011 7:43 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Stoves] burning rice husk Simply very informative at one place.

Paul Olivier' s work in Vietnam has taken rice-husk burning stoves in the household-size range to another level, uncomparable with natural-draft stoves like the Mayon Turbo, LoTrau or whichever. Paul has generously shared a lot of his work on this list in the last days, so you can look more details up from the links provided there or consult the section on rice-husk burning gasifiers, pages 43-48 of the manual microgasification <http://www.gtz.de/de/dokumente/giz2011-en-micro-gasification.pdf> http://www.gtz.de/de/dokumente/giz2011-en-micro-gasification.pdf, it contains all I found as per last year. If anybody knows of models that are not included there, please let me know, so that they can be included in the next update. regards christa Am 12.10.2011 um 12:18 schrieb George Riegg Gambia: Correct me if I am wrong but I am under the impression that Roger Sampson's Mayon Turbo Stove is designed to do just this kind of job?

People already see the value of making a high energy fuel from a pretty lousy biomass, and it is only a short step to using the gas as well for any of a variety of purposes. I am inclined to think that a large scale process heat application will give a better quality or at least consistent product. Is there a missing technology: a stove that burns the whole rice hull instead of making char? Perhaps as a slightly compressed block or cylinder whole rice hull could be made attractive, clean and efficient in the correct device. I do not know whether a stove can efficiently burn rice husk. But it seems rice husk can be burnt efficiently in FBC ( fluidised bed combustion ) boilers. There are several medium sized FBC boilers operated all over India. So the fuel need not go waste.
