Indonesia annually produces significant amounts of biomass waste in the agriculture sector. Rice husk, one highest produced agricultural materials, has sufficient caloric value to produce syngas a gasification system generate sustainable energy. However, production tar from rice husk is significantly high, damaging equipment and internal combustion engine. This study carried out performance ana...

Conversion of biomass into gas suitable for further exploitation is one the valuable renewable energy pathways due to wide distribution and availability raw materials. Biomass gasification a thermochemical process partial combustion in reduced oxygen environment that aims produce hydrogen-enriched syngas. Updraft gasifier design, with its advantages high efficiency, produces syngas higher hydro...

Gasification of several types of biomass has been conducted in a fluidized bed gasifier at atmospheric pressure with steam as the fluidizing medium. In order to obtain the gasification profiles for each type of biomass, an artificial neural network model has been developed to simulate this gasification processes. Model-predicted gas production rates in this biomass gasification processes were c...

Tar formation is the main bottleneck for biomass gasification technology. A novel rotary kiln type biomass gasification process was proposed. The concept design was based on air staging and process separation. This concept was demonstrated on a pilot scale rotary kiln reactor under ambient pressure and autothermic conditions. The pilot scale gasifier was divided into three different reaction re...
