| Popis: | Biomass contains energy used as solid fuel so that biomass will have high added value. Directly combustion of biomass has caused environmental pollution problems. Agricultural and plant estate plantation biomass waste that is widely spread in Indonesia needs to be utilized. The research was aimed at designing and producing biomass pellets for a pilot-scale capacity of 200 kg/hour. The biomass used consisted of empty oil palm fruit bunches (OPEFB), oil palm shells (OPS), cocopeat, corn cobs, and sugar cane bagasse. Pellets are formed by pressing biomass powder with high pressure using a 10 hp pelletizer. The quality of pellets produced was tested based on the standard DIN 53731. The performance test of pelletizing machinery showed that such types of machinery could be produced for 150-200 kg/hour. The test results showed that almost all quality parameters of biomass pellet (moisture content, calorific value, ash content, density, length, and diameter) met the requirements. Synthetic gas produced from burning biomass pellets in the gasifier and stove is able to use for drying and heating for 80 minutes. Pelletizing can enhance the volumetric and calorific value, reduce the transport and storage costs, reduce the moisture content, and improve the handling characteristics of biomass. |
