RICE HULL
INTRODUCING RICE HULL
Rice hulls are rice milling residues generally dumped and
burnt in open air
Open air burning is hazardous to our respiratory
system due to smoke. Besides it just adds gas into the
atmosphere
On the other hand, open air dumping and decomposition releases methane into the air and adds to the gasses in the atmosphere that compounds
greenhouse effect.MYTH ABOUT RICE HULL AS INDUSTRIAL FUEL
MYTH . . .
§ Unfriendly to environment
ü It is untidy, dirty and messy –leaves plenty of ash residue
ü Air pollutant due to particulate emission
MYTH . . .
§ Uneconomical to use
ü Low heating value: bulky
ü Handling: gathering and transporting pose logistics problem
ü When everybody shift to rice hull - price will become expensive
MYTH . . .
§ Technologyü Good ones are imported – unaware of
local technologies
ü Lack of manpower – unaware that Philippines is a major source of IT experts
ü Service difficulty – relying only to foreign experts
ü Parts – take time to import
MISSION FOR ADVOCATING RICE HULL
Mission . . .
q Health & Cleanliness –keeps the environment clean & healthy
q Greenhouse effect – helps save the good earth
§ Environment
Mission . . .
q Farmers – adds value to harvests
q Fossil substitute – saves fuel imports
§ Economy
q Savings – reduces production costs; finances exports
§Technology
q Affordable and locally available
q Ease in operation –designed for local operators
q Flexibility of operation – can shift from one form of fuel to another
Mission . . .
BUT . . . ARE THERE ENOUGH RICE HULL?
