Abstract
The study could be carried out only for short periods. However, following inferences might be drawn from the observations collected so far:
- Rice straw can be used in mixture with bagasse in a refined sugar plant having horse shoe type furnace.
- A tonne of rice straw at medium to high moisture content can replace about 0.6 tonne of bagasse at 50% moisture content.
- Uniform chopping of rice straw in large quantities is a problem. Long straw is difficult to mix with bagasse and tends to choke the star feeder.
- The use of baled straw as fuel appears to be more trouble free and convenient. However, a bale conveyor and an appropriate feeding mechanism are required to feed the baled straw in large quantities to the furnace.
