PENGARUH PRE-HEATING PADA PIROLISIS BIOMASSA LIMBAH AREN TERHADAP CHAR PADA REAKTOR HORIZONTAL MODEL CONTINUOUS

Abstract

Utilization of palm waste in the form of charcoal briquettes makes the fuel more efficient and in a better form. Thus, charcoal briquette fuel with sugar palm waste is a solution or alternative to solving the waste problem caused by palm trees. This research was conducted with the aim of knowing the effect of pre-heating on the pyrolysis process of palm sugar waste biomass on gas fraction, bio-oil and char. This study used an experimental method conducted in the Mechanical Engineering Education Laboratory of Sebelas Maret University. The research variable is the variation of pre-heating time in the pyrolysis of palm waste biomass against gas fraction, bio-oil and char in a continuous model horizontal reactor. The result of this study is that pre-heating has an effect on the gas fraction. The longer the pre-heating process is carried out, the lower the amount of O2 gas produced. Pre-heating affects the char, so the quality and quantity can be measured.
