Analysis of Gas Characteristics Produced in an Updraft Type Gasification Reactor with Various Gas Agent Flow Rates
Journal Title: Engineering and Technology Journal - Year 2024, Vol 9, Issue 05
Abstract
Gasification is a process of converting compounds containing carbon to change both liquid and solid materials into combustible gaseous fuel (CO, H2, CO2, CH4 and H2O) through a combustion process with a limited air supply, namely 20-40% of the air stoichiometry. The aim of this research is to obtain syngas that is renewable natural gas quality. The gasification reactor used in this research has a reactor diameter of 600 mm and a reactor height of 1500 mm. Research on the characterization of the gasification process in updraft gasifiers made from horse manure using the thermal decomposition method where the gas agent used is air. Variations in the flow rate of the gas agent used are 10, 15, 20 and 30 lt/minute. The results of the research that has been carried out show that the greater the flow rate of the gas agent, the CO gas levels will increase with an average increase of 15%, however the increase in CO gas is followed by a decrease in CH4 gas levels, namely an average of 13%. Likewise, CO2 gas levels decreased by an average of 14%.
