This study aims to analyze the stability of coconut-shell biomass gasification in a modified updraft gasifier equipped with two gas outlets: a reduction zone outlet and a combustion zone outlet. The modification was implemented to evaluate operational characteristics, combustible gas stability, flame behavior, and performance differences between the two outlets. The reduction zone produced CO, …
The increasing dependence on fossil fuels poses challenges to energy security, highlighting the need for renewable energy alternatives such as biomass. Coconut shell, a carbon-rich biomass waste, has significant potential to be converted into combustible gas through gasification. Although updraft gasifiers offer high efficiency, they are prone to excessive tar production, which can be mitigated…

Energi biomassa merupakan sumber energi alternatif yang perlu mendapat prioritas dalam pengembangannya dibandingkan dengan sumber energi yang lain. Adapun salah satu contoh dari energi biomassa tersebut adalah tempurung kelapa. Ada banyak cara yang dapat dilakukan untuk mengkonversikan tempurung kelapa menjadi energi. Salah satu cara yaitu melalui gasifikasi. Ada beberapa tipe dalam gasifikasi,…
Seri Kembang I village is one of the villages that has entrepreneurs in the field of coconut shell charcoal production. So far, coconut plants have only been utilized for their fruit, which is processed into copra, oil, and coconut milk for household purposes. However, the coconut shells have not been fully utilized, despite being readily available and inexpensive waste material. The objectives…
