Abstract

Biomass is a renewable energy material because it can be produced quickly however, biomass has the disadvantage of being burned directly because of its poor physical properties, such as low energy density, handling, storage and transportation problems. To improve the quality of biomass combustion, biomass fuel in the form of pellets is developed, known as bio-pellet. Bio-pellet was developed as an alternative fuel derived from wood dust. One of the materials that can be converted into briquette bio-pellet is coconut shell. This study aims to determine the effect of coconut shell bio-pellets by using different temperature variations according to SNI standards. Making bio-pellet from coconut shell raw materials with variations in temperature parameters, namely 300°C, 400°C, 500°C, and 600°C with a constant time of 1 hour. The adhesive used is tapioca flour with a concentration of 10%. 3. From the results of the study, it can be seen that the best quality of bio-pellet is in terms of temperature variation, that is, the curing temperature parameter is 500°C and 1 hour of cooking time with 10.58% moisture content, 11.03% ash content, 30.01% volatile matter content, the fixed carbon content is 48.38%, and the calorific value is 6564.88 cal /g because it is sufficient to meet the SNI 8021-2014 bio-pellet standards and several other standards.
