【 摘 要 】

Biomass gasifier is one of many trends in sustainable energy exploration to compete with solar and wind. The fuel was commonly dominated by wood-based pellet which has high-quality parameters such as pellet size, pellet durability, tar content, heating value, and ash content. However, non-wood fuel sources should also be considered since they have readability and no less quality parameter. This study was conducted to select and analyze the non-wood materials which are capable of fueling biomass gasifier. Shell pellet, wheat straw pellet, and miscanthus pellets were analyzed in this study to be attributed in a certain treatment. The treatments were included size reduction, gas heating, increasing durability, and ash content. The treatments have been proven to enhance the quality parameter of non-wood pellet. This result had ensured the improvement of biomass gasifier for no longer depending on wood pellet.
