1) Practicability of an automatic system for pyrolytic gasification of rice husks, composed of gas generation and its control, gas cleaning, and temporary gas reserve, and the possibility of utilization of the husk-gas were distinctly recognized.
2) The husk-gas has strong odor. It was generated at the rate of 1 m3 per 1 kg of rice husks. It's composition was CO 20%, H2 10%, CH4 2%, C2H4, C2H6, etc. 5%, O2 3%, CO2 10% and N2 50%. Excess air ratio=0.95, and net calorie=1,000 kcal/m3.
3) Repeated practical operation tests conducted with a pilot plant of the automatic pyrolytic gasification system for rice husks demonstrated that this new system is highly practicable.
