Experimental of Wood Gasification in Suction Biomass Gasifier

Biomass is one of the alternatives energy which are abundant, relatively cheap, and
widespread availability. This paper is aim to show the process finding according experimental work
of wood using suction biomass gasifier. Energy can be extracted from biomass through gasification
process. The experiment focuses on woody gasification. A suction biomass gasifier has been built and
operated under stable condition which fueled from wood waste and air as gasifying agent. The
biomass feeding rate was varied from 3 to 5.5kg/hr. Result show that producer gas contains CO in
20-30% in volume and H2 found to be varying between 14 and16% vol. The low heating value (LHV)
from this woody gasification around 4 -5 MJ/Nm3. Carbon conversion efficiency also measured as a
parameter to indicate biomass-gas conversion.
