Abstract

Palm Kernel Shell (PKS) and Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) are potential bioenergy sources because they contain lignocellulosic (cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin) so that they can be converted into biofuel through the thermal cracking process. This research was conducted in a lab scale experiment using a fixed bed reactor for 90 min with temperatures ranging from 300 ℃–450 ℃ and using natural zeolite adsorbent as much as 7 g. The purpose of this study was to determine the hydrocarbon chain of biofuel products from PKS and EFB. The biofuel product that produces the highest yield is obtained from a temperature condition of 450 ℃, using a natural zeolite adsorbent of 7 g. The result of thermal cracking in the form of liquid is separated into a clear product (liquid smoke) and a viscous product (biofuel). The biofuel was then tested using GC-MS to determine its chemical components. PKS and EFB have the same kind of most dominant fraction (C5-C14) with kerosene content where the compositions obtained are 80.93% (PKS) and 45.07% (EFB).
