The furnace required less labor compared to the traditional rice hull step-grate<br />

furnaces. Labor was needed only in loading the rice hull <strong>into</strong> the feed hopper.<br />

<strong>Resource</strong> assessment made on rice hull indicated that there are a number of<br />

rice mills where the drying plant can get fuel.<br />

Advantages to Developing Countries<br />

Most if not all of the mills dispose the hulls along the highway. However, after<br />

the commissioning of the plant, millers started selling their rice hulls instead of<br />

giving it for free. The rice hull cyclonic furnace that was developed can also be<br />

used in the rural areas to provide heat for crop drying. It can be modified<br />

according to the heat load requirement of the clientele.<br />
