Abstract
In Indonesia, biomass is the largest source of fuel compared to other countries in Asia, but its utilization is still below the Indian State. To improve the utilization of biomass fuel, this study conducted an experiment on the use of biomass gassification to reduce water content in the process of making sugar palm sugar with vaccum dryer technology. Based on the research that has been done before, this gassification furnace can produce a heat power of 5kW for husk raw materials with a ratio of biomass and the energy generated is 0.5kg of husk / 1 kWh. In this research, the performance of gas husk biomass gassification and costs will be tested.
