B10-CHAR PRODUCTION FROM OIL PALM STEM USING FLASH PYROLYSER

Pyrolysis of oil palm stem waste will be carry out in the fluidized bed reactor in
the presence of nitrogen as a fluidized gas. The product yield will be investigated after
the experiment. This experiment was carrying out at 450°C and with biomass particle
size is 0.15mm-0.5mm. Before start the experiment, the feedstock will be analyze base
on moisture content, ash content, calorimetry value and elementary analysis. The
products of this process are bio-oil, gases and char. The results of this experiment will
compare with the literature review. The char yield was affected by the residence time of
the fluidized bed reactor. Very high reactor residence time will led to higher bio-char
production. The ultimate analysis also conducted to the product.
