Rice straw is burnt each year in Egypt in massive amounts. This disrupts the ecosystem and causes pollution and health problems. Recycling of waste straw to produce gas solves a variety of problems and produces local renewable energy. Gas production from rice straw

Stages of the production of gas: Include gas conversion unit the following stages: 1

• pressed straw storage (15 thousand tons) 2
• Unit chop straw 3
• Unit straw burning up to 1200 ° C 4
• Control unit in the resulting gases 5
• filter Wet Scrubber 6
• gas tank: Nitrogen gas 41% Carbon monoxide 27% Methane 13% Hydro carbonate 4% Other gases 15% Mode of Operation: 1. Collection after burning gases and Filter 2. Experience by gas flame color 3. Allow the passage of gas to the tank 4. Works in a storage tank of gas above the surface of the water
• Rising cover by the volume of the gas reservoir
• You select the measurement tank is full (350 m3 gas) 5. Gas network for Home Delivery, where the Natural Gas Company set up a network to feed 300 homes
