IDCOL, SEAL eye rice husk-based power plant
Monday, 26 April 2010
A 400-KW rice husk gasification-based power generation and silica production plant project will be set up in the country soon.
A financing agreement in this respect has been signed between Infrastructure Development Company Ltd (IDCOL) and Sustainable Energy and Agro-resource Limited (SEAL) recently, said a press release.
IDCOL Executive Director and CEO Islam Sharif and SEAL Managing Director Abul Fazal signed the agreement on behalf of their respective organisations.
This is the largest rice husk gasification based power generation project so far set up in Bangladesh.
A unique feature of the project is that it will not add any carbon-di-oxide (C02) to the atmosphere. C02 produced from gasification process will be used in the precipitated silica plant.
Once completed, its annual silica production capacity is expected to be 918 tonnes. Generated electricity will be supplied to the silica production plant and a nearby poultry-hatchery farm, thirty irrigation pumps, a cold storage and few rice mills in the area.
