Abstract

Abstract: The research was purposed to produce environmentally friendly biomass pellets as syngas fuel. The produced pellets dimension is 18 mm to 25 mm (length) and 4.5 mm (diameter). The best pellets made from single material is palm shell pellets with gasification time of 85 min · kg –1 biomass. The best pellets made from material mix is sugarcane bagasse and palm shell pellets, with similar gasification time. The palm shell pellets met the standard except for ash content. Pellets made from mixed material have less caloric value. Emissions test on gasification process has passed the emissions quality standard.
