The feedstock used for the experiments is rice husk obtained from Brunei (BRH). Table 1 shows the characterisation data for the rice husk sample used. The proximate analysis was performed to measure the moisture, volatiles and ash contents of solid biofuels following the BS EN 14774-3:2009, BS EN 15148:2009 and BS EN 14775:2009 respectively. The analysis shows that BRH has a high volatile matter and high ash content. The ultimate analysis describing the elemental composition of Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Sulphur, and Chlorine in the sample was carried out by external laboratory using a Carlo-Erba 1108 elemental analyser. The gross heating value was determined using an oxygen bomb calorimeter model Parr 6100 according to ASTM D5865 . The compositional analysis was determined using the Van Soest method. This determine the lignocellulosic content of the rice husk, and the procedure includes the determining of neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF) and acid detergent lignin (ADL) for evaluating the hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin contents in the biomass. The compositional analysis reveals that the rice husk is high in cellulose and lignin content.
