| Summary: | Malaysia has a great development in biomass industry. The industry needs to use
synthesis gas analyser for monitoring gas composition in the process of gasification.
Since there is no local production of such analyser, it is commonly imported from
oversea for a very high price. Furthermore, analysers in the market are not easily
customized which ends up with the industry having to buy separate analysers to
measure several types of gas. Therefore, this study focuses on developing a portable
synthesis gas analyser for biomass gasification that suits the local industry’s
application which is low cost, at the same time, maintaining its accuracy and
reliability. The analyser is integrated with a monitoring system using the Internet of
Things (IoT) concept. The developed analyser uses Raspberry Pi microcomputer as
the core element in its electronic design along with several other necessary hardware
components. The analyser is capable of measuring methane (CH4), carbon monoxide
(CO), hydrogen (H2), and carbon dioxide (CO2). It also includes a web server for
displaying its measurement in a local network and the internet for monitoring
purpose. Selected sensors used in the analyser shows positive response toward
respective gas in a sensor validation experiment. Thus, the sensors can be used for
further development of the analyser. Case building, addition of the web server’s
features, and accuracy and reliability experiment will be conducted in future
development of the analyser. Therefore, this study shows the possibility of
developing a portable synthesis gas analyser. Furthermore, the analyser may offer a
cheaper yet reliable alternative for gasification process monitoring to the local
biomass industry in the future. |
