Abstract

Biomass power plants are electricity generators with alternative energy that utilize organic
materials, in this case cow dung. The cow dung is then processed to produce syngas. Syngas is used as fuel
to turn turbines. In previous studies, a cow manure gasification reactor was designed and manufactured.
This reactor is part of a biomass power plant system (PLTBm) which is made separately. The power output
target of this PLTBm is 370 kW. The purpose of this study was to examine the performance of the downdraft
reactor of cow dung biomass, namely discharge, temperature, and analyze the gas content released by the
reactor so that the power that can be generated by the reactor can be obtained. The test results obtained a
combustion chamber temperature of 580°C and a discharge of 0.285 m3/s. The composition of the output
gas is acetylene 58.16%, hexane 27.66%, butane 6.38%, and methane 7.8%. From the calculation results,
the power generated by the reactor is 342 kW.
