One potential bioenergy that has not been explored to its full is the bioenergy potential of wood processing industry waste. The wood processing industry’s waste from saw mill wood is an alternative fuel substitute for IDO or MFO which has been widely used in the wood processing industry. The calorific value of saw mill wood waste is around 2,600 -3,400 kcal / kg, because there are many cellulose, sulfur, lignin, water biomass and so on. If the use is burned, it will directly give potential environmental impacts in the form of emission gas pollution in the form of Fly Ash, CO2, NOx and CxHy. This method is considered less efficient and gives less value.
This study aims to obtain renewable energy sources by converting sawmill wood solid fuel wood processing industry into clean, sustainable and high-calorie gas fuel (syngas) as well as preventing air pollution. The method used is the development of gasification process technology in the burner vesel fluidized bed reactor with a controlled, low oxygen vertical perforated blade installation, resulting in Syngas. Through the gasification process, saw mill wood waste can be converted into gas that is more flammable with higher calorific value and environmentally friendly (clean energy). Syngas technology will be designed based on the principle of imperfect / oxygen-poor combustion at temperatures of 300 – 500°C, inside the closed vesel, so that the gas formed is CO, H2 and CxHx gas.
The output is the development of gasification process technology that produces bioenergy syngas can be used in the substitution of boiler fuel for an environmentally friendly wood drying process.
