Abstract

This paper presents producer gas production from an updraft gasifier stove with the size of 33.5cm width×83.5 cm height and the chamber volume of 0.052 m3 using Golden shower tree woody and charcoal biomass as fuel. The Golden shower tree biomass (4×2×2 cm size) were burdened at the top of the stove and the generated fuel gas flows through the pipe and passed through the filter and go into the cyclone due to remove of dust and tar. Producer gas consisting of CO, H2, CO2, CH4. The results of the test indicated that fuel gas-producing from burning 7 kg of Golden shower chips at the air flow rate of 9.52×10-3 m3/s the water absorbed 753.159 kJ heat and the temperature in the combustion zone was 824.6 °C. By using 7 kg charcoal as a fuel, at the same air flow rate, the water absorbed 672.115 kJ heat, the temperature in the combustion zone was 761.51 °C within 14 minutes.
