Manufacture and sale of rice husk briquette production equipment
Tromso Co., Ltd.
Technology / Service Summary
Tromso Co., Ltd. was nurtured by the shipbuilding industry in Innoshima, Onomichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture. Our rice husk briquette production equipment (Grind Mill) uses unused rice husks to produce a solid fuel called "Momigalite." "Momigalite" can be used in place of firewood or charcoal, promoting forest conservation activities.
Purpose
Converting rice husks into solid fuels and agricultural materials (such as bedding and seedling soil) to add value to agricultural residues.
Feature
Rice husk briquette does not use a binder and is solidified only by pressure and heat. No harmful substances such as NOx and SOx are generated during combustion. The calorific value of rice husk solid fuel is 3,970kcal/kg (approximately 16,570KJ/kg), which is almost the same as the calorific value of firewood sold in general stores, which is about 4,000kcal/kg (approximately 16,736KJ/kg). In Japan, it is used for hot water supply at hot spring facilities, indoor heating, greenhouse heating, barbecue fuel, etc. Overseas, it is also used for daily household fuel and industrial boilers, etc. No specialized knowledge is required to operate the equipment, and anyone can operate it after taking our training course (about 1 day).
Effect
Because rice husks absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during the rice growth process, the amount of carbon dioxide generated when rice husk solid fuel is burned is the same as the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed, making it "carbon neutral." This "carbon neutral" fuel is produced (excluding the energy used during production).
