Study on the Incinerating Treatment of Rice Hull Produced by RPC and Its Heat Utilization

미곡종합처리장 발생 왕겨폐기물의 소각처리 및 연소열의 활용에 관한 연구

This study has been performed to develop an agricultural waste incinerator to combust the rice hull originated from RPC with the typical disposal treatment capacity of 30kg/h and to test performance of the developed incinerator. Experimental results are summarized as following. 1. The optimum feed rate of rice hull of the incinerator is 30kg/h with air ratio of 1.5. 2. The contents of $SO_2$ in flue gas is maximum 18ppm(when rice hull feed rate was 20kg/h and air ratio of 1.5), minimum 7ppm(when rice hull feed rate was 30kg/h and air ratio of 1.5) and average 11ppm. So there is no environmental pollution problem for the incinerating treatment of rice hull of the RPC. 3. The temperature of water of heat exchanger are $53^{circ} C$ and $62^{circ} C$ with water flow rate $3{ell}/min$ and $1.5{ell}/min$ at the optimum combustion condition, respectively. 4. According to theoretical energy calculation, the energy from rice hull combustion may be amounted as much as 80%~190% of energy supplied by kerosene required by RPC.
