Adaptation and Performance Evaluation Closed Drum Type Carbonizer for Waste Biomass

Abstract

A nation’s development is frequently driven by its energy industry. It is alarming that firewood is still frequently utilized as the main source of energy for cooking in many nations, especially those that see a decline in forest cover. For the carbonization of biomass waste, a drum-type carbonizer adaptation was created. The potential for obtaining a biomass carbonization process is the subject of this research. Various agricultural waste products (such as sawdust, coffee husks, peanut shells, and millet stalks) have been heated up in a device called a carbonizer. These two residues’ biomass carbonization yields were calculated and found to be 37.5% and 60.98%, respectively, for sawdust and coffee husk.
