Although gasification has been proven to be successful in bringing out the potential of different biomass fuels, it commonly involves conversion of only one type of biomass materials for a single run. This paper discusses the co-gasification experiment of different composition of oil palm fronds (OPF) and wood using a downdraft gasifier. The conducted study focuses on the temperature profile within the reactor and also the characteristic of the dynamic temperature profile in each zone within the gasifier reactor. The temperature profile in the drying, pyrolysis, oxidation and reduction zone of the reactor was experimentally investigated. Effect of bridging on the temperature profile is also observed. The temperature profiles obtained are compared with literature result. In addition, syngas production was monitored by observing the flare produced during the operation. However, further experiment need to be done to investigate the composition of syngas produced during the co-gasification experiment. © 2014 IEEE. date: 2014 publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84946692791&doi=10.1109%2fIRSEC.2014.7059827&partnerID=40&md5=d4b5c168e3791bdf6f28e64faa4c2351 id_number: 10.1109/IRSEC.2014.7059827 full_text_status: none publication: Proceedings of 2014 International Renewable and Sustainable Energy Conference, IRSEC 2014 pagerange: 536-541 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781479973361 citation: Anwar Sulaiman, S. and Atnaw, S.M. and Japar, A.R.
