The fluidization and transportation properties of rice husk have been studied on a cold model bed of inner diameter 120 mm. The ignition and combustion characteristics of rice husk mixed with coal have also been studied in a 1 MW experimental circulating fluidized bed (CFB) system. The conclusions, drawn on the basis of these experiments, are found to be very useful for the design of a 35 tons per hour CFB boiler firing this biomass fuel.
