EFEK DARI VARIASI DAN MODIFIKASI TUNGKU TERHADAP SUHU
DAN WAKTU EFEKTIF PEMBAKARAN PADA GASIFIKASI SEKAM

ABSTRAK

Sekam adalah salah satu solusi yang paling dapat diandalkan untuk energi
alternatif. Sekam dapat menghasilkan metana dengan menggunakan
teknologi gasifikasi. Dari fakta tersebut, penelitian ini dilakukan untuk
mencari efek dari variasi dan modifikasi tungku terhadap suhu dan waktu
efektif pembakaran pada gasifikasi sekam.
Langkah pertama dari metode ini adalah mengaplikasikan semua variasi
tungku dan kemudian menggunakan tungku modifikasi. Ujung
thermocouple diletakkan pada tengah-bawah dari api untuk mencatat
perubahan suhu setiap 30 detik. Pengukuran suhu pembakaran dicatat setiap
30 detik.
Hasil percobaan dari setiap variasi tungku adalah pada variasi tungku

tanpa reflektor dan tutup, suhu tertinggi mencapai 6120C dan waktu
pembakaran 35:38 dan ketika menggunakan tungku modifikasi, suhu
tertinggi mencapai 6370C dan waktu pembakaran 44:10. Variasi tungku
dengan reflektor, suhu tertinggi mencapai 5340C dan waktu pembakaran
34:50 dan ketika menggunakan tungku modifikasi, suhu tertinggi mencapai
5840C dan waktu pembakaran 38:38. Variasi tungku dengan tutup, suhu
tertinggi mencapai 7280C dan waktu pembakaran 34:20 dan ketika
menggunakan tungku modifikasi, suhu tertinggi mencapai 6590C dan waktu
pembakaran 41:16.

Kata kunci: energi alternatif, biomassa, sekam, gasifikasi, variasi tungku,
modifikasi tungku, suhu pembakaran, waktu efektif.

THE EFFECT OF BURNER VARIATION AND MODIFICATION
TOWARD COMBUSTION TEMPERATURE AND EFFECTIVE TIME IN
HUSK GASIFICATION

ABSTRACT


Rice husk is one of the most reliable solutions for alternative energy.
Husk can produce methane by using gasification technology. By those facts,
this research has been held to find out the effect of burner variation and
modification toward combustion temperature and effective time in husk
gasification.
The first step of this method applied all of burners variation and then
using modification burner. Thermocouple tip has been put at the centrebottom of fire for recording temperature changing in every 30 seconds.
Combustion temperature measurements were recorded every 30 seconds.
The result of experiment from each burners variation are on burner
variation without reflector and cap the highest temperature is 6120C and
combustion time 35:38 and when use modification burner the highest
temperature is 6370C and combustion time 44:10. Burner variation with
reflector the highest temperature is 5340C and combustion time 34:50 and
when use modification burner the highest temperature is 5840C and
combustion time 38:38. Burner variation with cap the highest temperature is
7280C and combustion time 34:20 and when use modification burner the
highest temperature is 6590C and combustion time 41:16.

Keywords: alternative energy, biomass, husk, gasification, burner variation,

burner modification, combustion temperature, effective time.
