Abstract

Biomass is a plant material which is quite abundant in Indonesia. Utilization is also currently undergoing development. One of the uses for biomass is conversion to biogas. Biogas is a renewable energy source that can be used as a substitute for fossil energy. Biogas can be produced by utilizing organic materials that are no longer used through anaerobic digestion processes. In the process of producing biogas as an environmentally friendly fuel, it is necessary to first wash the biogas. The CO2 and H2S content in biogas reduces the efficiency of the combustion process and causes corrosion of machining components. Biogas purification by absorption is a way to reduce levels of CO2 and H2S contained, so that the biogas produced can be used as fuel. In this study, absorption using a packed bed scrubber and monoethanolamine solution and varying the biogas flow rate. The results of biogas purification using 7M monoethanolamine solution decreased CO2 and H2S levels and increased methane gas production up to 87.6% with a biogas flow rate of 5 L/minute.
