Caracterización de cascarilla de arroz como biomasa residual para combustible térmico

Abstract

The present work contains the Characterization of the Rice Husk as Residual Biomass as Thermal fuel and these searches in the frequently affected residues of industrial processes, a biomass fuel to provide solution to environmental problems causing climate change and energy improvements and of costs. The amount obtained from this waste at the national level, can justify the need to promote the change of the energy matrix through the use of biofuels. For this reason, the objective of the project is to characterize the biomass to transform it into a thermal fuel. Said residues can be characterized based on established parameters and through pelletizing, humidity, calorific value, mechanical durability tests, among others. These results were compared with the ISO 17225-2 standard for solid biofuels, determining that the pellet obtained is suitable for application in viable energy inside boilers at an industrial level; generating lower energy costs and applying clean energy to be able to replace fossil fuels, for heating in industrial processes that cause greenhouse emissions and obtaining a biomass transformation process Energy Efficiency.
