Management of collecting agriculture biomass residues in Lombok” Origin of the pro project: Feedstock supply study for bio-CNG power plant in Lombok

Abstract

Rice husk appears to be an enormous agricultural waste in Lombok besides corn cob. Likewise, the generation of rice husk in East Lombok as well as West Lombok potentially supports the deficit of corn cob in several months. The availability of waste shows that East Lombok has the remaining rice husk up to 52,605 tons. The availability of rice husk in East Lombok accumulates in March and April, which is accounted for 73.8% of all months in 2019. On the other hand, the remaining rice husk in West Lombok is 36,477 tons. The availability of the waste in West Lombok in March and April is 42% of all months in the same year. The huge availability of rice husk, nevertheless, should be only at emergency condition. Using rice husk as the main feedstock is considered inefficient as compared to corn cob because its bulkier which will burden transportation cost as well as storage. The volatile matter of rice husk is much lower (60-65%) as compared with corn cob (87.90%). ...dst
