Manufacture of wood rice husk 

From loss of rental boats leave every season rice production and export of wood rice husk successful in Mekong Delta region becomes full utility has improved the environmental pollution problem, just bring revenue to the farmers.

Each year the Mekong Delta province milling 18-20 million tons of rice, rice husk waste after milling for 20% of the rice, about 3.5 to 4 million tonnes. Do not use up all the people down rice husk down the river, polluting.

Can save 50% cost

Mr. Nguyen Van Chieu, a producer of wood husk in Cai Lay (Tien Giang), said the investment cost for a household machines can produce firewood husk only about 20 million, around two tons of fuel capacity every day. Currently, the husks in a number of places in Tien Giang for only 50-200 kg copper. If you go further in Hau Giang, Vinh Long ... have collected husk free, because people in these areas still have to pay rent that place down the river boat. While wood husk produced domestically sold for $ 800-1000 per kilogram copper, and copper exports about 1,700.

Initially, many people do not think husk can produce the fuel. When producing successful, they argue that the wood husk can hardly compete with the burning material, such as oil, gas, coal ... However, reality has proven husk firewood quickly reduced pressure to use substances burning in many industries such as manufacturing animal feed, ceramic ...

Rather husk charcoal wood workers in businesses only takes a little extra time to put the wood stove but in return ensure health. Moreover, if the use of coal to gas at an average price of 4,000 VND per kg, 1 kg of coal to heat the equivalent of about 1.5 kg of firewood husk (1,400 contracts). Thus, if using wood husks, the production facilities can save more than 50% of the cost. Each medium enterprises used 20 tons of coal per day, if you switch to wood husk will save at least a billion.

Production could not sell

Recently, wood husk still find its way abroad. Typically, Ltd. Mai Han (Tho) came to Canada 20 tons of wood husk, Korea, Japan. Particularly Korean market, expected monthly export rice husk members increase of 10,000 tons and 20,000 tons of rice husk bar. At the same time the company is completing final procedures to produce 18 tonnes of rice husk fuel to the US market first.

The reason for foreign companies to enter the wood husk on a lot because far beyond coal, the most used types of pressed wood sawdust from wood with a high price (about $ 200 a ton), heat is not husk firewood much higher. Therefore, when Vietnam bid now only 105 USD per ton, wood husk becomes "fever" with the importer.

In Tien Giang, Hoang Huynh also redirect husk charcoal production (three tons of coal per ton of wood products). Husk charcoal company's Metro system has been tested and purchased for $ 5,000 a kg to sell copper in the system and exported to some countries such as South Korea, the US, Thailand ...

Hoang Huynh, Director of Royal Brother, said: "Every month the company sold 6,000 tons of firewood Metro, about 30 million words. For the whole month of firewood and coal about 100 million words. "

Currently, businesses manufacturing or processing of goods using boiler tend to switch to using wood husks to replace coal or other materials and more. Even the northern kilns have also started buying firewood husk from the Mekong Delta to terracotta pottery.

Representatives of the company Mai Han said: "Not to mention exports, private domestic market, the company provides about 300-400 tons a month. Currently orders up to several thousand tons, the company must ask the people who work for outsourcing companies to deliver in time. If farmers do want to make wood husk, companies are willing to transfer technology, guide the production process. "

Rice husks are put into the system presses at 300 degrees C will secrete lignin (a substance available in the plant) to help mount the husks. Some facilities also produce more current buffer bamboo shell, just increase the aesthetic for firewood tree helps flammable, increase heat
