Abstract: An energy analysis was conducted on the steam power plant of a large white rice mill. The boiler fired by paddy husk raised steam for a steam engine coupled to a generator. Additional electricity was imported to meet the total demand of the mill. Potentials for power generation are assessed on two alternative systems namely the boiler and turbine system and the gasifier and internal combustion engine system. Both cases of husk-match and power-match are considered. For the case of power-match, both alternative power generation systems are economically feasible.
