ABSTRAK
Pemanfaatan biomassa sangat berguna karena merupakan proses re-cycle karbon melalui proses fotosintesis. Salah satu potensi biomassa terbesar di Indonesia adalah sekam padi, yang mencapai 16 juta ton per tahun. Teknologi gasifikasi menjadi teknologi sangat bagus untuk pemanfaatan biomassa menjadi energi lain karena fleksibilitas produk syngas untuk dimanfaatkan. Tar menjadi komponen yang paling membahayakan dalam syngas karena jumlah tar yang sangat besar dibandingkan yang lain. Metode pembersihan tar saat ini ada banyak menggunakan metode sekunder yang lebih ekonomis. Salah satu teknik lama yang masih jarang dikembangkan adalah metode kondensasi. Metode ini dapat memisahkan tar dengan syngas berdasarkan titik embun tar. Selain itu ada metode lain yang sekarang sedang menjadi tren penelitian, yaitu adsorpsi. Adsorpsi bisa menggunakan jerami padi yang mempunyai sifat menarik partikel halus menggunakan silika yang dikandungnya. Pada penelitian ini akan dilakukan investigasi pressure drop pada water condenser, filter, dan kombinasi water condenser-filter yang mempengaruhi karakteristik penurunan temperature dengan variable laju aliran blower sebesar 72 lpm, 96 lpm, 120 lpm, 144 lpm, dan 168 lpm. Efisiensi pengurangan tar juga diteliti pada tiap-tiap variable tersebut dan dilihat karakteristiknya pada water condenser, filter, dan kombinasi water condenser-filter. Pengurangan tar tertinggi terjadi pada moda kombinasi water condenser-filter 120 lpm, yaitu efisiensi pengurangan tar 84,87%.

ABSTRACT The use of biomass is very useful because it is a carbon re-cycle process through photosynthesis. One of the biggest biomass potentials in Indonesia is rice husk, which reaches 16 million tons per year. Gasification technology is a very good technology for utilizing biomass into other energy because of the flexibility of syngas products to be utilized. Tar is the most dangerous component in syngas because the number of tar is very large compared to the others. The current tar cleaning method uses many more economical secondary methods. One old technique that is still rarely developed is the method of condensation. This method can separate tar with syngas based on tar dew point. In addition there are other methods that are now becoming a research trend, namely adsorption. Adsorption can use rice straw which has interesting properties of fine particles using silica it contains. In this study, pressure drop investigations on water condensers, filters, and water condenser-filter combinations will be carried out which affect the characteristics of temperature drop with variable blower flowrate of 72 lpm, 96 lpm, 120 lpm, 144 lpm, and 168 lpm . Tar reduction efficiency was also examined in each of these variables and the characteristics of the water condenser, filter, and water condenser-filter combination were observed. The highest tar reduction occurs in the 120 lpm water condenser filter combination, which is the efficiency of tar reduction of 84.87%.

Rice husk is one of the most abundant biomass wastes in Indonesia. One way to convert it into an alternative source of energy is biomass gasification. This is a thermochemical process which converts biomass feedstock into fuel gas or chemical feedstock gas (producer gas). The gasification type which is developed in this study is fixed bed downdraft type due to its low tar content and compatibility in microscale implementation. One major problem with the implemented biomass gasification reactor was ruggedness of the partial oxidation process due to the absence of air in the reactor?s middle section, which consequently affected the pyrolysis zone. Several experiments were conducted previously using coconut shells and rice husks as solid feedstock, where an equivalence ratio (ER) of 0.4 was obtained. Therefore, in order to optimize the pyrolysis zone, the modification conducted involves adding a circular air intake into the gasifier. Experiments were conducted in a pyrolysis temperature range of 300?700oC with ER variation of 0.19, 0.24, 0.27 and 0.31. The results show that a good quality producer gas is produced at an ER value of 0.24. This value shows a promising result because the ER value of biomass gasification standard is 0.25.

Sekam padi menjadi salah satu limbah biomassa yang melimpah di Indonesia. Salah satu cara konversi sekam padi menjadi energi alternatif adalah gasifikasi biomassa. Gasifikasi biomassa merupakan proses termokimia untuk mengonversi bahan baku biomassa menjadi bahan bakar gas atau bahan baku gas kimia (producer gas). Gasifikasi biomassa yang tengah dikembangkan adalah tipe fixed bed downdraft. Tipe ini dipilih karena hasil tar yang sedikit dan cocok untuk skala mikro. Salah satu permasalahan dari desain reaktor gasifikasi biomassa yang digunakan adalah kurang meratanya proses oksidasi parsial, sehingga memengaruhi zona pirolisis. Proses oksidasi parsial yang kurang merata ini disebabkan oleh pada bagian tengah reaktor tidak tersuplai udara dengan merata. Pada penelitian sebelumnya yang menggunakan cangkang kelapa dan sekam padi, equivalence ratio (ER) untuk proses gasifikasi adalah 0,4. Maka untuk melakukan optimasi zona pirolisis, dilakukan modifikasi air intake dengan menambahkan circular air intake. Setelah dilakukan modifikasi dan pengujian pada temperatur operasional zona pirolisis 300-700 oC, dengan melakukan variasi ER yaitu 0,19, 0,24, 0,27, dan 0,31, akhirnya didapatkan ER paling optimal untuk menghasilkan producer gas dengan kualitas baik yaitu pada ER 0,24. ER paling optimal ini sesuai dengan standar gasifikasi biomassa, yaitu sekitar 0,25. ...... Rice husks into one of abundant biomass waste in Indonesia. One way of converting rice husks into alternative energy is biomass gasification. Biomass gasification is a thermochemical process to convert biomass feedstock into fuel gas or chemical feedstock gas (producer gas). Gasification of biomass that is being developed is a type of fixed bed downdraft. This type is chosen because the results were a little tar and suitable for the micro scale. One of the problems of biomass gasification reactor design used is less inequality partial oxidation process, thus affecting the pyrolysis zone. Partial oxidation process is uneven due to the middle part of the reactor is not well supplied with evenly distributed air. Previous studies using coconut shells and rice husks, equivalence ratio (ER) for the gasification process is 0.4. Then to optimize the pyrolysis zone, be modified by adding circular air intake. After the modification and testing the operating temperature pyrolysis zone of 300-700 °C, by doing ER variation is 0.19, 0.24, 0.27, and 0.31, eventually obtained the most optimal ER to produce gas producer with good quality, namely the ER 0.24. This ER is the most optimized according to the standard gasification of biomass, which is about 0.25.
