Abstract

Several studies have proven the efficiency of gasification as a thermal process in terms of material decomposition and chemical energy. Synthetic gas (syngas) is a gasification product that can be used as an energy source. However, it needs to undergo treatment to remove the tar content, which could cause several issues in the combustion system. Tar removal can be conducted through biomass filters. In this study, three types of filters were investigated: biochar, rice straw, and rice husk filters. Three thicknesses of the porous media (30, 40, and 50 cm) were investigated. The results revealed that porous media thickness significantly affects tar removal efficiency, as the efficiency was found to increase with the thickness. Biochar was proven to be the best filter media among the three types, with a tar removal efficiency of 59.45% at a thickness of 50 cm.

Abstract

The depletion of worlwide energy reservation and environmental issue caused by fossil fuel pollution urge mankind to find a suitable alternative energy to overcome this problem. Producer gas from biomass gasification is an example of an alternative energy that could substitute fossil fuel in a certain combustion operation. Using producer gas to generate heat needs gas burner system that can produce an effective gas flame with low emission gas. This study is using modeling and simulation of gas flame using 3D-CFD method. The gas burner model has two condition, namely, using conical flame stabilizer and without conical flame stabilizer, and the velocity tangential air supply is varied into three speed of 3 m/s, 6 m/s and 9 m/s, respectively. The result of this simulation shows the additional of conical flame stabilizer produces a shorter flame, increases flames stability and reduces CO emission. The experimental result shows a similar pattern compared with that of the simulation result. Abstract in Bahasa Indonesia: Dengan menipisnya cadangan minyak dunia dan masalah lingkungan yang diakibatkan oleh pembakaran bahan bakar fossil, maka diperlukan energi alternatif dalam mengatasi hal tersebut. Bahan bakar gas dari proses gasifikasi biomassa (producer gas) adalah salah satu energi alternatif yang dapat menggantikan bahan bakar fosil. Pemanfaatan producer gas untuk aplikasi pengeringan dan pemanasan boiler memerlukan suatu sistem gas burner yang dapat menghasilkan panas tinggi dan polusi rendah. Pada penelitian ini sebuah model gas burner berbahan bakar producer gas dilakukan pemodelan simulasi secara 3D menggunakan CFD. Simulasi dilakukan dengan menggunakan swirl gas burner dengan menggunakan conical flame stabilizer dan tanpa menggunakan conical flame stabilizer pada variasi kecepatan udara masuk tangensial 3 m/s, 6 m/s dan 9 m/s. Hasil simulasi menunjukkan penambahan conical flame stabilizer menghasilkan api yang lebih pendek dan stabil. Penambahan kecepatan udara memendekkan panjang api dan menurunkan temperatur api. Validasi eksperimental dilakukan pada gas swirl burner yang menggunakan conical flame stabilizer. Simulasi dan eksperiment menunjukkan hasil yang tidak jauh berbeda. Kata kunci: CFD, producer gas, gas burner, conical flame stabilizer.

Abstract

Gasification process at updraft gasifier produces greater amount of tar than other type of gasifier. To reduce tar at updraft gasifier, the pirolysis gas will be re-circulated to combustion zone and to exhaust gas from reduction zone. Recirculation of pirolysis gas to combustion zone can be carried out by using ejector. Ejector is an equipment used to inject the secondary fluid flow by the movement of momentum and energy from high speed primary flow (jet). The research conducted with isothermal 3D simulation using CFD and experimental investigation of recirculation flow using ejector at updraft gasifier. Ejector velocity for simulation and experimentation is constant at 0.6 m/s. Ejector’s nozzle exit position (NXP) direction will be varied. The goal of this research is to obtain information of optimal nozzle exit position for producing maximum velocity of gas recirculation. The result of simulation and experiment shows that the change of nozzle exit position direction to – x axis from zero point, it will give maximum velocity of gas recirculation flow with the optimum position of nozzle exit position at the range of -3 to -4 cm from zero point.

Abstract

Gasification is considered a promising option for harnessing energy potential from agricultural waste, such as rice husks. This paper presents a 10-kW rice husk fixed bed gasifier system. This system is an improved version of a prototype previously developed by our research group. Some of the optimized features added to the gasifier include the use of a circular air intake, an improved gas cleaning system, and electric motors that are regulated by a programmable logic controller. Keeping the gasifier system’s operation stable is critical for producing high-quality synthetic gas (syngas). Therefore, performance evaluation of the presented gasifier system was conducted, and the resulting syngas outputs were analyzed. The evaluation also included an investigation into the performance of the motors, particularly those used for feeding and char removal, which are critical components of the system. The results showed that the improved gasifier system was stable with a proper feedstock. A discussion of the parameters affecting the composition of the synthetic gas is also presented.

Abstract

This research aims to find the optimal operating pattern in a rotary dryer type biomass drying system with the heating medium from exhaust gas leaving the boiler. This heating medium is believed to provide high profits because it does not require additional energy. However, the lowest moisture may not necessarily provide maximum investment profits due to trade-offs with capital and operational costs. The research results show that the test point at a biomass inlet flow of 10 t/h, a residence time of 25 minutes, and an exhaust gas flow of 90 t/h can optimally obtain the highest three investment parameters, including USD 8,518,085.33 for NPV, 150.32% for IRR, and 0.67 years for PBP. So that it succeeds in reducing the biomass moisture from 44.57% to 10.90%. Reductions in energy output and operational duration should be avoided wherever possible because they have a significant impact on reducing profit.

Abstract

The world is facing increasing challenges in sustainable energy production and waste management. This study presents a techno-environmental analysis of biochar and energy production from rice husks and corncob in Karawang, Indonesia, through co-gasification. A parametric study using Aspen Plus simulation shows that biochar yield is sensitive to temperature and  equivalence ratio (ER). Specifically, corncob gasification at 450 degrees Celsius yields the highest amount of biochar. Additionally, the study finds that increases in temperature and ER lead to higher syngas and lower heating value (LHV). A life cycle assessment was conducted to evaluate three scenarios: 100% rice husk, 100% corn cob, and a 50% combination of rice husk and corncob for biochar application as carbon sequester. The findings indicate that the 50% mixing ratio has the most positive impact on global warming potential, with a carbon offset of - 170,134 kg CO2eq per 1000 kg of biochar applied to soil. The results provide valuable insights into environmental impacts of utilizing these agricultural residues for renewable energy generation and biochar production.

Abstract

The increasing population and changing lifestyles have led to significant solid waste accumulation, necessitating efficient waste management to prevent environmental and health issues. Supercritical water gasification (SCWG) is an effective method for converting high-moisture biomass into hydrogen-rich syngas, operating at temperatures above 374°C and pressures above 490MPa. The objective of this study was to develop and validate an integrated modeling and multi-objective optimization framework, combining Response Surface Methodology (RSM), Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), and Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) to maximize hydrogen-rich syngas production from municipal solid waste through SCWG. The research models and predicts the effects of feed concentration, residence time, and reaction temperature on hydrogen yield, lower heating value (LHV), and gas yield. The integrated RSM and ANN models demonstrated high predictive accuracy with R² values exceeding 0.95. Optimization results from MOGA identified optimal parameters: a feed concentration of 2%, a reaction temperature between 490-495°C, and a residence time of 80 minutes. These conditions achieved H2 selectivity of 84.73%, an LHV of 6.95 MJ/Nm³, and a gas yield of 29.7%. The findings highlight the dominant influence of reaction temperature and residence time on hydrogen production, while feed concentration requires careful balance for optimal syngas quality. This study demonstrates that the combined use of RSM, ANN, and MOGA provides an effective framework for optimizing SCWG processes, offering practical insights for industrial-scale applications. Future research should explore additional variables such as biomass composition, pressure, and catalysts to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of hydrogen production from solid waste, supporting SCWG as a viable technology for sustainable energy production and effective waste management.

Abstract

This study aims to create a CFD model aligned with lab test results from previous studies, conduct simulation tests using several types of biomass as input and optimize the operating parameters of various types of biomass to produce optimum syngas. The method used in this research is literature study and modelling using Ansys Fluent software. The results of this study indicate that biomass is a source of new and renewable energy (EBT) which has abundant potential in Indonesia, but its use could be more optimal. Biomass gasification is one of the most promising techniques used to convert solid fuels into useful gaseous fuels, which can be widely used in many households and industrial applications such as power generation and internal combustion engines. This research implies that it can help determine the optimum equivalence ratio and feed rate for a gasifier that utilizes various types of biomass. By finding the optimal combination, the composting process can achieve higher energy efficiency, resulting in more energy being generated from the biomass used. Additionally, by knowing the appropriate equivalence ratio and feed rate, this research can assist in optimizing the biomass composting process in the gasifier.
