The diverse drying procedures utilized in Vietnam,

Cambodia, the Philippines, and Myanmar were compared in
our study. The implications for selecting the ideal drying
practice corresponding to various techno-economic
parameters, settings, scales of operations, and market
demands were generated by quantifying energy efficiency,
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and cost-benefits. In
terms of cost-benefit, labor operation, and energy efficiency,
a reversible airflow flatbed drier with a capacity of 20 tons of
paddy each batch was judged to be the optimum solution. A
recirculating columnar dryer, on the other hand, uses 15%
more energy but only occupies 20–50% of the floor space,
but a solar bubble dryer still needs to be optimized in terms
of lower investment costs and labor requirements. When
looking for an industrial capacity of more than 200 t/day, a
two-stage drying system with a fluidized bed and ten
recirculating columnar dryers is the best solution with the
lowest drying cost and labor utilization. Nonetheless, the
solar bubble dryer uses less energy and emits fewer
greenhouse gases than other methods by more than half. In
addition to a comparison of these technological and
economic aspects, this research also identified the
trajectories of developing paddy drying technologies that are
aligned with different postharvest systems identified as
subsistence farming for own consumption, surplus farming
for local markets, and surplus farming for premium and
export markets. The study recommends paddy drying
strategies in Southeast Asian countries that could be
applied in other rice-production regions as well.
Paddy drying is an energy-intensive procedure that has
an impact on the quality of the end product. Use of energy
and Rice milling quality after paddy drying with an IHRD
(industrial horizontal rotary dryer) produced in the United
States, Northern Iran was studied, and the results were
compared to those of the traditional industrial batch-type
bed. At five paddy ultimate moisture levels (IBBD). The
results indicated that the IHRD consumed specific electrical
energy between 5.5 and 17.41 MJ kg-1 water evaporated
compared to 2.64e7.48 MJ kg -1 water evaporated in IBBD
and specific thermal energy between 11.5 and 36.44 MJ kg -1
water evaporated in IHRD compared to 7.78e22.09 MJ kg -1
water evaporated in IBBD with a decrease in paddy final
moisture content in the range of 12.0%e8.0%. The thermal
energy consumption efficiency of IBBD and IHRD was
estimated to be 38.8% and 26.3 %, respectively, during
moisture drop ranges of 1% to 5%.
e12 %, 14.5 %, w. b. The following were the major milling
quality parameters of the end product of IHRD-dried paddy:
IBBD's results are much better. It was concluded that the
drying time of IHRD can be cut down about 26% without
any significant changes in final milled rice quality; resulting
to reduce the IBBD's total specific energy use around 10.43
MJ kg-1 water evaporated. Removing the drying air
completely and the subject of kick spinning the IHRD drying
drum with a sufficient time interval was offered as a
research project. Inquiry into how to make the tested dryer
more energy efficient
