Rice Husk Pellet Plant In Thailand

RICHI MACHINERY

overview

This is a 1.6t/h rice husk pellet plant in Thailand project.

Thailand is one of the world’s major rice exporters, with an annual rice output of more than 20 million tons and an annual output of rice husk byproducts of more than 10 million tons. For a long time, these rice husks have been treated in a low value-added manner, such as open-air burning or simple stacking, which not only causes environmental pollution but also wastes renewable biomass resources.

In recent years, with the increase in global demand for renewable energy and the advancement of carbon neutrality goals, rice husks, as a high calorific value, renewable, biodegradable biomass resource, have gradually attracted attention from the energy industry, agriculture and industry. Rice husks can be pressed into pellet fuels, which can be used in industrial boilers, power plants, residential heating and other fields. They can not only replace fossil energy such as coal, but also realize the resource and industrial utilization of agricultural waste.

In this context, a large agricultural product processing enterprise located in central Thailand, relying on rich rice husk resources, invested in the construction of a rice husk pellet plant in Thailand with an annual output of 8,000 tons and an hourly output of 1.6 tons, in order to achieve comprehensive utilization of resources, promote the green transformation of enterprises, and expand the clean energy market.

The biomass fuel produced by this project is a solid fuel that is extruded from the husk produced by rice processing. It is easy to store, transport, and use. It has no harmful additives, high combustion efficiency, and is clean and environmentally friendly. It can be used for civilian purposes and can replace coal as industrial boiler fuel.

After the project is completed and put into production, it will solve the recycling of waste materials such as husk waste, increase employment opportunities, protect the environment, and promote local economic development, with good economic and social benefits.

The labor quota of this rice husk pellet plant in Thailand project is 8 people, with 300 working days throughout the year, and the working hours are limited to 6:00-22:00 every day.

Main raw and auxiliary materials

The production raw materials of this rice husk pellet plant in Thailand project are mainly a large amount of waste husks produced by rice processing. The raw materials in the area are abundant, which provides a strong guarantee for the implementation of this project. After the project is completed, 8,000 tons of biomass pellet fuel will be produced annually.

The main raw materials of this biomass pellet plant project are purchased and transported to the raw material warehouse in the factory area by social vehicles. The roads in the factory area are smooth, and people and goods are separated to meet the transportation requirements. The raw materials enter the production line through the conveyor belt, and all products are transported out of the factory area by car for sale.

Process design of rice husk pellet plant in Thailand

The raw materials of the rice husk pellet plant in Thailand project are collected and stacked in the raw material warehouse for standby. The raw materials are sent to the rice husk pellet machine through the conveyor belt for pressurization and densification.

After simple packaging, they are put into the warehouse for sale. Unqualified products can be reused as raw materials, reprocessed and recycled. The molded biomass fuel is small in size, heavy in specific gravity, resistant to combustion, and easy to store and transport.

Public works

Power supply:

The power supply of the rice husk pellet plant in Thailand project is introduced from the local power grid, which can meet the power demand of the project production and life. Annual electricity consumption is 300,000 Kwh.

Water supply:

The project water supply uses local self-drilled well water.

Drainage:

The drainage of the project plant implements the rainwater and sewage diversion system. The rainwater is collected by gravity and discharged into the surrounding drainage ditches. The wastewater is the office and domestic wastewater of employees.

The wastewater discharge is calculated based on 80% of the water consumption, and the discharge volume is 96m3/a. The domestic sewage of the project is treated in the grease trap and septic tank to meet the standards of the “Agricultural Irrigation Water Quality Standard” and is used for irrigation and fertilization of surrounding farmland and vegetable fields.

Reasonableness of site selection

①Geographical location:

The area where this rice husk pellet plant in Thailand project is located belongs to the rice industrial processing plant area, and a large amount of waste husks are generated by rice processing. The raw materials are abundant, which provides a strong guarantee for the supply of raw materials for the implementation of this project.

②Infrastructure:

The project infrastructure has electricity, telecommunications, roads, and perfect water supply and drainage.

③Raw material supply conditions:

The main raw materials of this project are provided by nearby rice processing enterprises.

Rationality of plane layout

The overall plane layout of the rice husk pellet plant in Thailand project has clear functional divisions, and production areas and office areas are set up. Combined with the characteristics of production, the flow routes of raw materials, finished products and production personnel are organized separately to meet the diversion requirements and facilitate management.

The production area is arranged in the northeast of the factory, and the auxiliary rooms and office buildings with basically no pollution are arranged in the south. It can meet the production and use requirements and the reasonable layout of the process production line, and facilitate transportation.

The entrances and exits of raw materials and finished products are located on the east side of the factory. From the perspective of flow organization, the flow lines of people and logistics are clear, and basically do not cross each other, which is conducive to enterprise management and the safety of enterprise employees.

From the above, it can be seen that the overall layout of the project is reasonable from an environmental perspective.

At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the planning of plant greening, increase the greening rate of the factory, carry out turf greening and plant trees on the existing open space to ensure the greening area, so as to improve the plant environment and beautify the plant.

In summary, the plane layout of this rice husk pellet production line in Thailand project is reasonable.

Why the Client Started This rice husk pellet plant in Thailand Project

Rich and stable source of raw materials

The client is a large enterprise with its own rice processing plant, which can obtain about 50,000 tons of rice husks as by-products every year. In the past, rice husks were mostly used for landfill or inefficient combustion, which was a serious waste of resources. Through granulation treatment, waste can be turned into high value-added products.

Enhance the added value and sustainable development capabilities of enterprises

The client hopes to create a green industrial chain through resource utilization of rice husks, enhance the competitiveness and brand image of enterprises in the agricultural circular economy, and expand new profit growth points.

Respond to the Thai government’s renewable energy policy and carbon reduction initiatives

Thailand’s National Alternative Energy Development Plan (AEDP) clearly states that renewable energy should account for more than 30% of total energy consumption by 2037. As one of the clean energy sources, rice husk pellet fuel enjoys policy support, including tax exemptions, green credit, etc.

Meet the needs of industrial customers and export markets

The demand for alternative energy from local industrial enterprises is growing year by year, especially in boilers, brick factories, and food processing industries. The customer also plans to export the products to countries with high demand for biomass energy, such as Japan, South Korea, and the European Union, to increase foreign exchange earnings.

Moderate project investment and short payback period

The 1.6t/h rice husk pellet plant in Thailand has a moderate investment scale, mature technology, and stable operation. According to customer calculations, with a stable source of raw materials and unobstructed sales channels, it is expected that the entire investment can be recovered within 2-3 years, which has high economic feasibility.
