The Renewable Energy is one of the main co-topic not only in our ASEAN countries but
also globally all over the world to find out the answer before the fossil fuel is depleted.
All the people in ASEAN countries eat rice majority as daily main energy food for
living.
Therefore rice plantation, rice harvesting and rice milling would be forever with the
people.With this basic logic it is easily calculated that the rice husk would be available every
now and then.
With this idea in mind, Myanmar Inventors Cooperative Society (MICS)had tried to
develop the rice husk gasifier and promoting this technology within its own effort.
During ten years of experience, MCIS could produced rice husk gasifier better and better.
(Please see the invented and modified models on page 6.)
With its own R&D program MCIS could solved and achieved the tar content in the
producer gas which causes most trouble to engine.
This technology has provided less trouble, longer life of engine and better engineefficiency.
MCIS is now producing not only different sizes of rice husk gasifier but also the gasifier
run by other kinds of biomass such as wood chip, coconut palm, outside shell of peanut
and any kinds of wood trunk or branches., etc.
MCIS is presently manufacturing the following standard gasifiers.

With its wide range of products, the client has chances to
choose the suitable model within their own financial and
expected product output.
This is why the present owner had chose the rice husk
gasifier RH-6 expected to use as the main energy source
for rice mill and rural electrification where he lived in
Rakhine State in MYANMAR.
Introduction.
Energy is one of the main issue globally nowadays.
Energy can create economic crisis. Energy can create
political issues. Energy can afford the climate change.The
fossil fuel is estimated with present consumption as
depleting within 40~50 years from now which can be seen
within our life time.

Rakhine State. The village is 200 miles North West of Yangon
and next to the Ngapali Beach.
Ngapali is one of the best natural white sand beach in the world
facing to the west on the bal of Bangal.With its white sand beach and shallow sea water it makes a
tourist attraction and resort destination place in Myanmar since
decades.

The Original Design.
The basic principle of biomass gasification has been known in Myanmar since late 18thcentury and commercial application of the principle was first recorded in 1830.*
Biomass gasification is simply known as the conversion of solid biomass (wood, rice
husk, corn, etc) into combustible gas mixture called producer gas.
There are three different type of gasifier and four distinct processes in the gasifier
(reactor furnace) such as Drying, Pyrolysis, Combustion and Reduction.
1. Originality
With this basic principle and technology, City Electrification with wood gasifier was
utilized in Mawlamyaing Town in Myanmar during WWII.
The cheaper price of diesel and petrol in the market after WWII caused the gasifier less
attractive and put aside.
Within the context of environmental protection and global warming, Myanmar has been
gaining momentum in renewable energy and enhancing the social and economic lives of
rural people.The Central Research Organization had developed Wood Chip Gasifier in 1970.
The Myanmar Inventor Cooperative Society (MICS) had started the production of Rice
Husk Gasifier in 1990 and produced commercially since 1996.
MICS has developed and modified 16 different kinds and stages of gasifier and improved
the energy output and reduced tar content in the producer gas.**
Note. * The history record has been kept in the Myanmar National Library.** By modifying filter such as scrubber, tar separator and the filtering material.,etc.

Application.
The application of the Rice Husk Gasifier is presently used in many kinds of power
generation such as Rice Milling, Ice Factory and Electrification etc..

Approach.
Even though the raw material rice husk is easily found and abundant waste in many rural
areas, the idea of rice husk gasification is a very strange to the villagers.
The rice husk from the rice milling is very reliable source of energy which is previously
thrown into the nearby river and caused pollution and also made the river shallow.
All the conventional rice mills(mid to large
scale) are using the rice husk as a mainenergy of direct firing to the boiler to
generate the steam and steam engine which
is the main power source for rice milling in
Myanmar.
Some modernize rice mills are using the
electric motors for the whole plant and
cause the surplus rice husk.
The estimated total rice husk available in
Myanmar is shown as the following.

With this energy policy and abundant rice husk waste from rice milling, the regional
authorities and the private investor are very much interested in the gasifier and decided
to start the project in Lin Tha village.
The following map shows the electricity supplying net work in Lin Tha village inThandwe Township, Rakhine State.

Community / People Participation.
The people in this area has lived without
electricity and has very little knowledge of
electricity. Everyone had concerned about
this project since it was laid down the
decision of implementation of this project as
they fully understand it could really benefit
to the their life style and the way of living.
Using with the fire tube boiler in the conventional rice mill,the main energy source comes from direct firing of rice husk
in the furnace. Steam generate the steam engine or turbine
and the generator which is run by steam engine or turbine
produces the electricity . C + O 2 = CO2
C + CO = 2CO
C + H2O = CO + H2

Exhaust smoke from the chimney generally contains CO2 as
22~25%.
It is measured CO2 in the exhaust gas of the gasifier as 9~10%.
Therefore the amount of CO2 emission from the gasifier exhaust
gas is found less amount than the Conventional Electric
Generation (CEG) with fire tube boiler.
The Power House
The Local government authorities (Township, District and State level) also provided the
necessary support and guidance as this project is useful to the community.

Benefit to User.
No expense is needed for the fossil fuel.
With people interest and keen to improve their
standard of living the user knows it is the bestthings to do for the community and itself.
It is also easy to expect the regular income and
profitable ones when solving the community
needs.
Benefit to Community.
Create the employment and the villagers become income earners.
The community get improve their living standard compare to the life without electricity.
The lighting in the dark is invaluable mostly in the developing countries as it hasexperienced the darker nights.
The enjoyment of the villagers in the evening is undescribe able in words.
The following pictures were taken very recently at the evening prime time in Lin Tha
village.

Benefit to Country.
(1) Save the foreign currency for the purchase of
diesel oil.
(2) Maintain the Status of Energy Independence.
(3) Help the rural and remote area development
program.
Other features.
Benefits from Biomass Gasifier System Application
(1) The cost of using rice husk for gasifier is much cheaper than that of using fossil fuel for
internal combustion engine getting the same output electrification.
(2) Biomass Gasifier systems can create the opportunities for the betterment of social and
economic conditions of the rural people as the cost of diesel or petrol is too high.
(3) It can also enhance the development of new business opportunities for Private-sector
entrepreneurs.

It can also be concluded from above presentation that using Gasifier is a kind of helping
hand in New and Renewable Energy implementing in Myanmar by various government
organizations, agencies, NGOs, private sector and others.
Myanmar is doing its best to comply with ASEAN expectation to utilize 10% of its
energy requirement from New and Renewable Energy sources by 2015.
CONCLUSION
The rice husk gasifier is the most suitable Renewable Energy to be utilized not only in
Myanmar but also to all the countries that produced rice.
It can be utilized in many sectors such as Rice milling, Ice making, Electrification, Saw
mill, Battery charging, the Home and Industrial use such as power supply and cooking.
Myanmar Inventors Cooperative Society never stops its R & D program as it needs to
improve tar free producer gas and more engine efficiency.
With these characteristics and good After-Sales service, the increasing number of users
are growing very quickly.
