Abstract
A process for using Rice Husk residue as an alternative fuel to fossil fuels (such as Natural Gas and LPP oils 1 A . . . 9 A), in the combustion chamber of the glass, glaze or similar furnace. Where a waste is collected in dump trucks and unloaded into a proper silo, then passes through a dryer feeding silo where it is atomized in the kiln combustion chamber, a high-pressure, low-flow fan is used to atomize it, along with all the necessary air, which can be used in oxy-combustion kilns; all the combustion gases are cooled by mixing with cold air and the incandescent gas from the kiln; and they are then collected and passed through a sleeve filter for proper filtration.
Claims12
A system for using ground or unground rice husk as fuel for a glass furnace as a substitute for fossil fuels, said system comprising a dryer, a storage silo, and a feeding system for the dryer, wherein the dryer comprises a grinding, classification, and atomization system capable of using rice husk as fuel, and wherein the ground or unground rice husk is stored in said storage silo and is ground in a grinder and then passed through fans and atomized in a combustion chamber of the glass furnace using combined burners in an oxygen-air burner.
