Rice husk pellet is a kind of biomass material pellet made from rice husks which is the outer layer of the paddy grain. Rice husk is with deficiencies of soft, light and low in calorific value. After processing, rice husk pellets can be converted the high caloricity biofuel pellets for many uses.
Vietnam and Malaysia are the major producers of rice therefore rice husk is the main by-products for rice processing industries. With the increasing demand for alternative fuel resources, rice husk pellets is a hot product in southeast Asia now.
Separated from the brown rice in rice milling, rice husk is considered as waste from rice miller. It weighs around 20% of the total paddy weight. Traditional use for rice husk is for heating the drying air in rice dryers. Processed by biomass fuel pellet line, the calorific value of rice husk pellets has been increased much. Today rice husk pellet is regarded as a kind of biomass fuel resource and is increasing used to fuel some co-fuel power plants. There are now many power plants in Asia powered by ground rice husk. Besides, rice husk pellet has gained its uses for fueling boilers, stoves and for animal bedding.
Rice husk pellets are also beneficial for the environment by producing lesser amount of ashes and emissions. The carbon dioxide that is released during the combustion of rice husk pellets is being used by the growing plants. Rice husk pellets are proven effective as a wood fuel. Their low moisture (humidity is typically 7-8%) doesn’t require a lot of energy to burn it off making them highly efficient burnable material.
