Increment of efficiency of the rice enterprise for energy use of residuals.

The present work has the purpose of determining the possibility to improve the energy and economic efficiency of the “Sur del Jíbaro” rice enterprise by means of a study of saving potentials and alternative of cleaner production by energy use of residuals. In this work is carried out a study of the rice production process of the enterprise, with the purpose of determining the quantity of waste generated during this process, using for it the statistical data and the realization of samplings, to these waste they were applied the indexes of energy production found in the bibliography and was checked their possible contribution to the energy and economic efficiency, with the use of the straw of rice like raw material to produce biogas can be produced the equivalent of more than the double of the energy that demands the enterprise in a year, and using the husk like fuel can be produced the demanded electricity in the industry and almost all the necessary heat for the drying process, for which the possibility exists to contribute to the environment protection
