[Stoves] A continuous feed rice husk gasifier for parboiling 40 kg of rice?

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

The person to ask about this is Marc Paré.

He is copied above. He might give you a little time. He worked on rice hull gasifiers in Vietnam for a time, optimising them.

I saw a set of pictures of a continuous rice hull burner with a step grate for a salt making operating. I don't have details but it was cheap.

The person who took the photos is Prianti Utami at YDD in Yogyakarta.

Subject: [Stoves] A continuous feed rice husk gasifier for parboiling 40 kg of rice?


Dear all,

I am wondering if a continuous feed rice husk gasifier could be used
in the parboiling process of rice in Benin.
The three basic steps of parboiling are soaking, steaming and drying.
For parboiling we first soak 40 kg of paddy in 25 l. of water . The
paddy and the water are heated to 80°C.  Could this be done with  a
continuous gasifier ?
Next we steam for about 30 min. with about 6 l. water. Could this be
done with the same continuous gasifier we used for soaking ?
It will be used outdoor.
I am looking forward to your answers.

Kind regards,

Serge
