Rice Plant Production & Storage
Capacity
Rice Production
24 Tons Per Hour paddy processing capacity
Husk Production
5 Tons Per Hour husk production capacity
Husk Storage Capacity
10,000 Tons
Husk Consumption per MW
1.2-1.5 Ton
Considering 2.5MW average consumption; annually power
requirement is 21,900MWh and this required 30,660 Tons of
Husk ,considering average 1.4Tons for 2.5MW generation
Calculated
Tariff
Tariff calculated on the basis of actual data collected
during performance test:
Project Cost
Projected payback period is 14 months from COD (1st Jan 2014)
Deficiencies in
Design
Power demand during paddy season is higher than calculated,
due to which diesel generator remain in parallel operation with
steam turbine.
HP boiler is not designed to meet the power requirements
during paddy season.
Only husk can be used as a fuel for boiler.
Low capacity of LP boiler.
