Produksi Bio-Coal Berbahan Dasar Tandan Kosong Kelapa Sawit Dengan Metode Torefaksi Menggunakan Reaktor Tipe Fixed Bed Dan Tipe Kontinu Tubular
ABSTRACT
Fossil fuels are running low and are expected to run out, so the world needs renewable energy. Biomass from Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) is one of the potential renewable energy. In previous studies, peat water was used to reduce potassium (K) so that potassium oxide (K2O) decreased which can cause slagging and fouling, and torrefaction methods to increase the heating value. Chlorine causes corrosion on the boiler walls. This study aims to compare the bio-coal produced from EFB by the torrefaction method using a fixed bed type and a continuous tubular type with variations in peat water flow rates from 10 to 40 lpm and variations in mass from 250 to 2,500 gr. The washing process is carried out to reduce potassium and chlorine (Cl). The results of this study were bio-coal at various flow rates with the lowest K, Cl, and K2O content, namely the peat water flow rate of 40 lpm at a mass EFB of 250 gr with respective values of 8.31 %, 0.42 %, and 3.96 %; bio-coal in the EFB mass variation with the highest K, Cl, and K2O content was the 2,500 gr EFB mass at a flow rate peat water of 20 lpm with values of 22.01 %, 3.05 %, and 18.27 %; The EFB that produced into bio-coal by using the fixed bed type is larger than the continuous tubular type in heating value with less energy consumption, where the mass of 1,000 gr EFB for the fixed bed type is 26,166 kJ/kg and 5,717 Wh, and continuous tubular type is 21,780 kJ/kg and 7,573 Wh.
