THREE‐BURNER RICE HUSK GAS STOVE

This three‐burner stove was developed on 2009 in Indonesia by Engr. Alexis Belonio, Haryadi and Joel Belonio under PT. Minang Jordanindo Approtech.

The stove uses biomass as fuel which is converted to gas when burned by gasification. The heat energy produced can be used for cooking. For convenience, the option for burning of biomass fuel to be done outside the kitchen was introduced, and the gas produced is piped‐in to the burners, which are placed inside the kitchen. This system, aims to provide a cleaner and a safer operation, as well as a cheaper method for business owners.

Design objective

To help the home‐industry business owners save from operation expense due to high fuel cost and earn higher profit from cutting down expenses.

Adoptable for:

• Cooking 
• Boiling
• Frying
• Steaming

Parts of the Stove

• Reactor - is where rice husks are loaded and converted to gaseous fuel
• Chimney - provides exhaust/exit for unwanted gases
• Loading Platform - used by the operator to refuel husks in the reactor
• Particle Separator - separates the husk particles from gas
• Burner - where the produced gas and the preheated air combined is ignited to produce flame
• Ladder - used by the operator to access loading platform for refueling 
• Ash Pan - used for discharging char
• Char Chamber - burnt rice husks are temporarily held before discharge

Performance

• Operating time: Continuous 
• Ignition time: 10 - 15 minutes
• Boiling time: 8 - 9 minutes for 2 litres of water
• Fuel consumption rate: 6.3 to 8.0 kg per hour 
• Number of burner: 3 
• Thermal efficiency: 55.2% to 60.7% 
• Gasification rate: 128.6 to 163.3 kg/hr-m2
• Char production: 29 to 32% of total husks consumed
• Power output: 13.6 to 17.6 kW

Features: 

• Clean combustible gasses produced
• Continuous operation
• Simple construction 
• Local materials and skills are used
• Easy to operate
• Low operating cost

• Charcoal 
• Coal 

Other benefits: 

• Only 1 person to operate - fuel loading, char discharge, manage stove operation.
• Payback period for the stove using biomass as fuel is within 1 year compared to using conventional LPG and kerosene fuel.
