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 study aimed to determine the effect of rice husk fluidization and variation in the equivalence ratio of bubbling fluidized bed gasifiers without sand bed materials. It also aimed to improve the fluidization quality by reducing the diameter of rice husks. Therefore, the bulk density increases, whereas voidage decreases, both of which are the main parameters for improving the quality of fluidization in solid particles. Experiments were carried out at a velocity of 0.82 m/s, by varying the equivalent ratios ranging from 0.20 to 0.35, and analyzing the syngas composition, cold gas and carbon conversion efficiencies, lower heating value, and temperature distribution. An equivalence ratio of 0.30 was obtained for a bubbling fluidized gasifier with syngas compositions of 7.415%, 15.674%, 3.071%, 17.839%, and 56.031% for H2, CO, CH4, CO2, and N2, respectively. Under these conditions, we obtained cold gas and carbon conversion efficiencies and a lower heating value of 31.340%, 37.120%, and 3.881 MJ/Nm3, respectively.

Abstract

Indonesia annually produces significant amounts of biomass waste in the agriculture sector. Rice husk, one of the highest produced agricultural waste materials, has sufficient caloric value to produce syngas in a gasification system to generate sustainable energy. However, the production of tar from rice husk gasification is significantly high, damaging the equipment and internal combustion engine. This study carried out performance analysis on a small-scale rice husk gasifier. A simulation provided a syngas composition overview and showed a maximum LHV value of 6.47 MJ/Nm3 at ER 0.25, and a maximum CGE value of 83% at a temperature of 900 ℃. Furthermore, the economic aspect of integrating renewable technology was also considered. The gasifier had an LCOE value ranging from 0.014 to 0.089 USD/kW, depending on the use of the gasifier. The feasibility of using a mobile rice husk gasifier was also inspected, based on net present value, benefit-to-cost ratio, and payback period.

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.
