Abstract

Gasification of cassava rhizomes in a fluidised-bed reactor is studied for investigate of product yields and energy yields of biomass gasification indifferent temperatures. The aim of this study is find the influence of temperature in five levels were 500, 600, 700, 800 and 900 °C on product yields and energy yields of biomass gasification in the fluidised - bed method. The liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) was used for the heating system before the experiment and air as a carrier gas during the experiment. The product yield was obtained by mass balance before and after the experiment. The gas chromatography (GC 8A) analysis method was used for analyze gas composition. The results show that maximum fuel gas yields from cassava rhizomes of 90.9 wt% at 900 °C. However, the gas with the lowest heating value were 12 MJ/kg. While the reaction temperature at 800 °C has gas yields and energy yields of 85 wt%, it is the ideal temperature for producing fuel gas.
