Mixed Straw Biomass Electrical power Generation System by Using Gasification Technology

Abstract

This research proposes the potential analysis and experiment results of the straw biomass in matter of the producer gas production by gasification technology. The producer gas from gasification process was sent to the primover engine of generator set. The experimental system consists of the downdraft gasifier stove, cyclone, wet-scrubber and generator set. The cassava biomass which 20, 30, and 40 % of moisture were use to burn in the experiment and measure the composition of the producer gas. The quality of gas was test by use as the fuel of the 2.2 kW generator set. From the experimental results, the 20% moisture of cassava biomass can be produce the best gas quality, good inflammable and good for use with the engine.
