| Summary: |
Biomass is a renewable resource and has abundant amount. Ordinarily, biomass
waste has no or little economic values and often causes disposal problems. One of the
major wastes from plantation and forestry industries is rubber wood remains. The
prospect of energy generation and chemical derivation based on biomass utilization is
drawing great attention. One of the promising technologies to generate valuable fuels
and chemical products from biomass is through a fast pyrolysis process. It is a heating
process of organic materials at a medium temperature between 400 to 600 °C under
the absence of oxygen and in a short retention time of a few seconds for vapor
product. It converts biomass into liquid (bio-oil), solid (bio-char), and gas (pyrolysis
gas) products. In this research, rubber wood sawdust (RWS) residue with a size range
of 0.15 to 0.50 mm was pyrolyzed in two types of pyrolyzer, drop-type fixed bed and
bubbling fluidized bed pyrolyzers. |
