Description
Summary:Indonesia has a huge potential rice husk waste of 150 GJ/year, a third more than the overall potential of biomass in Indonesia of 470 GJ/year. Gasification of small-scale biomass fixed bed downdraft becomes one of the best solutions to become energy for power and heat generation. From studies that have been conducted abroad and from previous studies, the use of double stage air intake on the reactor proved effective in reducing tar because tar formed from the pyrolysis zone must pass through two zones below before then out with the gas producer. Implementation of secondary air intake at position Z = 38 cm right on the pyrolysis zone, obtained results at ER 0.25. With the same size, as much as 80.82% with tar content on the producer gas of 11.62 grams/Nm 3 . While at ER 0.23 figures found the highest gasification efficiencvby 33.41%.
