Effect Of Combustion Air Flow Rate On Syngas Product In Updraft Gasifier System With Bamboo Charcoal Feedstock
Keywords:
Biomass, Gasification, Bamboo CharcoalAbstract
The potential utilization of biomass gas generation as an alternative to petroleum has attracted attention in Indonesia. One type of biomass that can be utilized as an energy source is bamboo. Bamboo is a group of plants that have the ability to absorb high amounts of CO2, thus bamboo can be used as an effective plant in reducing the increase in carbon emissions in the atmosphere and also as a substitute for diesel and gasoline in power plants. One of the methods used in such processing is gasification technology. Gasification is the process of converting solid fuels into combustible gases, such as CO, CH4, and Hâ‚‚. In this study, an updraft gasification system was carried out using 5 kg of bamboo charcoal raw material with variations in the combustion air flow rate of 2 m/s, 3 m/s, 4 m/s, 5 m/s, and 6 m/s. The results showed that the highest syngas composition was obtained in the variation of the combustion air flow rate of 6 m/s, namely CH4 22%, CO 0,17%, CO2 0,26%, and H2 0,12% with a heating value of 7925.32 kJ / kg and a thermal efficiency of 28,67%.
