Utilization of wood biomass as a renewable energy source using gasification technology

Abstract

One of the potential uses of biomass is gasification. Therefore, various breakthroughs need to utilizing biomass. One of the possible services of biomass is gasification. The best method for producing woody biomass is gasification conversion technology. The principle of biomass gasification uses incomplete combustion in a room withstand high temperatures called a gasifier. Burning order imperfect can occur, then the air with a small amount of stochiometric needs of explosion flowed into the reactor to supply oxygen needs using a fan/blower. The combustion process that occurs causes a thermo-chemical reaction that produces CO, H 2 , and methane gas (CH 4 ). The Downdraft gasifier, where the combustible gas had passed to the oxidation part of the combustion by being pulled down so that the resulting gas will be cleaner because the oil will burn when it passes through the oxidation part of the explosion. Gasification of wood sawdust can produce gas fuel. Where more biomass is classified, it will increase the amount of gas delivered to become fuel.
