Conventional and Improved Furnace - a
comparison
Salient Features of the Improved Furnace
| * | Higher efficiency and low pollution | * | Clean and safe working conditions |
| * | 50% saving in Rice Husk | * | Furnace operated with husk only |
| * | Saved rice husk can be made into briquettes | * | Briquettes can replace fuel wood |
| * | Cheaper and more efficient | * | 50% reduction in processing time |
| * | Local mistries can be trained | * | Lower feed rate reduces pressure on furnace operator |

The tests in this study indicate that a proportion of
10% RHA to 90% OPC, cured for 14 days gives sufficient compressive strength
for it to be used in low strength construction.
