ABSTRACT
Muhammad Hasby Rizky, Pangky Ari Wibowo, 2013, ” Fixed Bed Downdraft
Gasifier Fabrication to Produce Gas Fuel made by Rice Husk Capacity 3
kg/hr” Program Studi Diploma III Teknik Kimia, Fakultas Teknik
Universitas Sebelas Maret Surakarta.
One alternative energy in Indonesia is being developed that biomass
energy. Indonesia has abundant biomass resources, so the potential to make it as a
source of energy is very large, which is 10 million tons per year. Formulation of

the issues discussed in this case, among others, how to make rice husk gasifier for
the batch and how the performance obtained gasifier to produce gas producer. The
final goal, among others, make rice husk gasifier for batch and produce gas
producer.
One processing biomass gasification process can be done. Biomass
gasification process is a process of thermo-chemical conversion of solid biomass
materials into gaseous material. Venue for the gasification reaction called a
gasifier. Results obtained from the gasification of biomass is a gas that can be
burned later called producer gas. Producer gas composition include CO, H2, CO2,
CH4, N2 and small amounts of other compounds including tar and solid particles.
The final activity in the form of early-dimensional design tools, fabrication and
performance test equipment. Equipment fabrication is done by a professional
workshop and conducted surveillance during manufacturing jobs. As for the
materials required in the manufacturing, among others, that is, 2 mm thick iron
plate, nuts, bolts, nuts water, burner, hose and thermocouple. In the performance
test tools, charcoal biomass initially introduced into the reactor. Furthermore
ensure grate in the open state. Next initiator takes the form of wood and charcoal
is placed on top of a pile of rice husk. Then the blower is used to draw air into the
reactor penggasifikasi. The data observed in the gasification process such as
temperature reactor, producer gas generated and the amount of solid residues

generated.
The reactor temperature gasification process can reach 900 0C - 985 0C.
The resulting gas producers such as CO and H2 with the percentage of each gas at
9.007% and 0.109%. SGR values in the range of 110-113 kg/m2 hour. The
average value 0.07 AFR. Solid residues generated between 14% -16%. The
advantages of this gasifier unit include easy operation, charcoal produced
relatively few, and many do not produce smoke.
