| Abstract | EMPTY FRUIT BUNCHES TORREFACTION FOR HEMICELLULOCE CONTENT AND WATER ABSORPTION TEST. Biomass is organic material resulting from the process of photosynthesis. Biomass can be produced directly as product or waste from the processing of agricultural or plantation. Indonesia is a country that produces biomass in very large quantities. One of the largest biomass resulting from the proceessing of palm oil is oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB). Basically, the EFB has a low energy content and easily absorbs water. With higher production of palm oil, the EFB has potential as a good quality fuel and need early treatment to maintain the quality of the EFB. Torrefaction was one of thermal treatments with process temperature around 200-350C in the absence oxygen condition. By torrefaction, the EFB has a high energy content and decrease the water absorption. With low water absorption, EFB will have benefit in the storage that has high humidity such as Indonesia. The variables that varied for EFB torrefaction was the temperature (250-350C) and the holding time (15-60 minutes) to produce the high quality solid fuel from EFB. Analysis product in this study was proximate analysis, water absorption, and hemicellulose and caloric value. The results showed that the higher temperature and longer time torrefaction had higher calorific value, the hemicellulose content decreased thereby increasing hydrophobicity. Also, the torrefaction EFB can increase the calorific value around 30%. |
