Potential Application of Sago Pulp Briquette for Electricity Generation Using Gasification Technology in Papua Province, Indonesia

Abstract:

Indonesia is a tropical country which become one of the largest producer country of biomass especially from agricultural and forestry sector. One of the biomass source that has not been widely utilized is sago. Sago is an alternative source of carbohydrates besides rice, especially in the eastern region such as Papua. The potential of sago in Papua was 66,593 tons in 2018. This potential produces sago waste from processing sago starch, which can pollute the environment. Utilization of sago waste in the form of sago production waste as a source of biomass for electricity generation is an alternative solution. The result shows that sago pulp can be processed into briquettes with the calorific value of 6,327.4 kcal/kg – 6,946.7 kcal/kg. Sago production waste generated from the processing of sago starch is 14% so that the daily waste potential is 25.54 tons/day. Based on this potential, OWRS technology using pyrolysis-gasification obtained 6.6 tons/day of sago charcoal briquettes. The potential of heat energy was 42.03 Gcal/day. The potential of electricity that can be produced with updraft-fixed bed gasification from sago charcoal briquettes was 5.18 MWh. The theoretical power is 2.03 MW with an output power of 215.83 kW at 11% efficiency.
