STUDYING PRODUCE RATE OF BIOMASS GAS FROM COMMUNITY GASIFIER
Keywords:
Gasifer, Biomass, Down-DraftAbstract
Fossil fuel is one of the leading sources of air pollution. Present trend about energy is finding renewable source that not hurtful to the environment. Biomass is one of the renewable sources of energy that is now being given proper attention to since it does not increase carbon dioxide footprint in the environment. In order to use biomass effectively, it should be treated with a thermochemical process. Biomass is transformed to biomass gas that has more combustion efficiency than using a normal combustion process. With this, the construction of a gasifier is the effective way to bring this technology to the community. But in order to make the community be comfortable in using a gasifier, it should be reduced in volumes from a lab scale to a small sized one like a stove gasifier. The purpose of this journal is to reduce the volume size of a gasifier and study how the reduction volume of a gasifier, from 66.15 liters to 1.96 liters, affect the production rate of biomass gas. From the results shown, the rate of the production of biomass gas from a small gasifier is reduced to 7.14% and 4.82% by using mixed wood and coconut shell respectively.
