Analisa Performansi dan Optimasi pada Burner Biomassa Berbahan Bakar Cangkang Kelapa Sawit

Abstract

Nowadays, due to global population growth and industrial and social developments, energy demand is rising worldwide. Most of the world's energy demand is still provided through power plants powered by fossil fuels. One of the most important energy solutions is biomass. Biomass is a renewable energy source and the right bio-based product because of its natural origin, carbon stability, low cost, non-toxicity, and abundant supply. In connection with the literature sources and previous research that the author has read, that the use of renewable energy sources biomass palm coconut shell realised against this burner can be a good solution to generate fire and perform perfect combustion of incinerators in an effort to treat waste as a renewed energy source. The purpose of this study is: 1. To determine the length of the flame tongue 2. To optimize the combustion of the biomass of the palm coconut shell on the Burner. The study was carried out using the Performance Test Method where the Blower will provide air supply for the burning of the pallet cocoa shell where the flamme tongue will be used to burn garbage or waste at variable air speeds of 7.33 m/s, 7.67m/s and 6.94 m/S. Fuel capacity is 1kg, 2kg and 3kg as well as HHV (18337.8028 Kj/Kg), LHV (1833.8028 kj/kg) thus producing the highest efficiency of 88.2%
