What are the key differences in efficiency, handling, and environmental impact between using raw paddy straw and paddy straw pellets in a boiler?
Using paddy straw directly in a boiler and using paddy straw pellets in a boiler present different challenges and advantages. Here are the key points comparing the two: Challenges of Using Paddy Straw Directly in Boilers: High Ash Content: Paddy Straw: It has a high ash content, around 15–20%, which can cause slagging and fouling in the boiler. Paddy Straw Pellets: The pelletization process reduces ash-related problems as the ash content in pellets can be better managed. Moisture Content: Paddy Straw: Typically has a high moisture content (12-20%), which reduces combustion efficiency and can lead to incomplete combustion. [...]
