Abstract:
An biomass waste of natural rubber processing such as rubber seed, sawn wood, braches... are daily disposed. This study investigated the utilization of biomass waste of natural rubber processing for fuel production. The main composition of rubber seed oil is a triglyceride containing hydrogen cyanide, therefore, it is non-edible and it is considered as a prospective source for biodiesel production. Two steps process (esterification and tranesterification) was investigated and fuel properties of methyl ester of rubber seed oil had been measured. The rubber wood could was converted into producer gas by gasification process. In downdraft gasification, lignocellulosic are broken down to producer gas with low tar content. Producer gas primarily carbon monoxide and hydrogen could be directly used as a fuel for internal combustion engine to produce shaft power for generating electricity.
