Abstract

Coal gasification is a chemical reaction that has a purpose to change the original solid coal into gaseous compounds. Converting the coal into gaseous compounds will make the combustion process easier and results in increasing combustion efficiency. The sulfur and nitrogen are also easier to be separated in order to obtain cleaner flue gas. This paper presents kinetic analysis of coal gasification reactions in mini gasifier (or known as GasMin in Bahasa) reactor. The results show that the increase of the air-coal ratio (ACR) affected the maximum temperature of the reactor, which means that an increase of the intake air flow rate will increase the amount of oxygen for combustion reaction. Meanwhile, the increase of the team coal ratio (SCR) will increase flow rate of the mixture of air-steam feed. As a result, the ability of coal gasification has also increased. This will increase gasification efficiency around 3-5% which then will also increase the gas yield. The maximum value of SCR was 0.06, further than that of the yield gas and the q- value will slightly decrease. The simulation result showed that the producer gas was dominated by CO with 26.72% mole fraction; H2 with 14.06% mole fraction, and N2 with 47.88% mole fraction. Meanwhile CO2, CH4 and O2 mole fraction were 5%, 0.24%, and 1.20% respectively

Abstract

Coal gasification is the process of converting coal into gas to ease its use and more environmentally friendly. Research and Development Center for Mineral and Coal Technology (tekMIRA) has been researching, designing, and developing a small-capacity gasifier with the brand of GasMin. This study discusses GasMin design and utilization for power generation using internal combustion engine type spark ignition engine. The result of laboratory analysis shows that the calorific value of producer gas was 1,013 kcal/Nm3, tar content was 4.04 mg/Nm3, particulate content was 11.17 mg/Nm3 and temperature of gas was 36oC. Based on characteristic of producer gas, it can be used for fuel in internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine generator set (genset) used in this research was 10 kW spark ignition type. To be used for gas producer, some modifications were made on genset engine by replacing the function of the carburetor into mixing chamber for air and producer gas, and placed before mixing gas entering the combustion chamber.The results ofthis researchshow that the power generated was 4.8 kW, which was about 53% of maximum power on fuel. It isin accordance with the literature whichstates that de-rating of the genset engine ranges from 40-50%.
