Abstract
The fuel that is used worldwide currently is mostly from fossil fuel which is depleting. In order to replace thefuel, biomass is introduced as an alternative fuel source to generate energy. The objective of the work are to investigate the possibility of a specific biomass, which is fabric waste, to be used in the gasification process and to determine the heating value of the gas produced. The fabric waste was analised its heating value using bomb calirometer, followed by proximate analysis using thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). Gasification experiment of fabric waste was done using fluidised bed gasifier. Producer gas sample was then analysed using gas chromatograph and tar sample was collected and analysed using rotary evaporator. From the pre-analysis of the fabric waste, the heating value of the fabric waste is ranged from 15.69 to 17.08 MJ/kg. From the proximate analysis of the fabric waste, it is found that the fabric generally has high volatile material content (85.817 to 89.015%), followed by fixed carbon content (7.425 to 9.858%), moisture content (3.399 to 4.189%) and ash content (0.079 to 0.197%). The gas composition of the producer gas collected are 0.07% hydrogen, 12.15% oxygen, 30.61% nitrogen, 4.15% carbon monoxide, 0.55% methane and 52.47% carbon dioxide. The heating value of the producer gas is 0.72 Mj/Sm3 and the tar content in the producer gas is 1484 mg/Sm3.
