Rice husk utilization is a significant problem worldwide, particularly in Thailand. The open burning of rice husks is a cause of air quality deterioration, increasing the risks of premature deaths. Even though, today rice husk is more utilized as fuel to generate power or electricity in rice mills and bio-power plants, it still leaves ash as a waste that is difficult to manage or fully utilize, not to mention the air pollution from the burning activity.
Burning 100 kilograms of rice husks produces 124 kilograms of CO2 and 100 kilograms of nitrogen which is much higher than normal. But good news is, with specially designed burning process in a close system, we can reduce the pollution. Our patented technology produces only 2 kilograms of CO2 with nearly zero nitrogen. So, each ton of rice husk burnt with EKASIL technology reduces CO2 emissions by 1.2 tons and nitrogen by 1 ton.
So, all EKASIL products manufactured from this patented combustion technology - be it liquid sodium silicate, silica and carbon - are more ecologically friendly with lower carbon footprints. Comparing our rice husk silica to traditional silica from quartz sand, replacing 1 ton of sand silica with 1 ton of our rice husk silica can decrease CO2 emissions by twice the amount or by 100 kilograms.
Now it's time to contribute to saving our world together with rice husk products from EKASIL.
