ENERGY -02 PERFOMANCE TEST AND CHARACTERISTICS OF METHYL ESTER FROM PYROLISIS PROCESS OF RICE HUSK Sri Aulia Novita 1), Perdana Putera 1), Musdar Effy Djinis 1) Depatement of Agricultural Engineering Payakumbuh State Polytechnic of Agriculture sriaulianovita@gmail.com, perdanaputera81@gmail.com Abstract – Methyl Esters, in this research, were obtained from the process of making liquid smoke from rice husks. Previous research conducted by Novita, SA et al (2011) the results of the analysis of testing with GC/MS showed that the liquid smoke from rice husk containing Methyl Esters was relatively high, in range ± 58-70%. The purpose of this study was to modify the pyrolysis device to produce methyl esters, determine the content of methyl esters with GC/MS analysis and test performance of biodiesel using a diessel engine. From the research carried out thr pryolysis tube wall has been modified by changing the thickness of the stainless steel material to 1.5 mm, to faclitate the combustion process and heat transfer and reduce the equipment weight. While the tube base still uses 3 mm stainless steel to prevent lekage during the process because of high temperature (300 – 400 0C). WOOD AND COCONUT shell was used to accelerated the incompletecombustion process and have higher methyl ester compared to using a gas stove. The amount of liquid smoke produced is quite high at 35.88 % while using a gas stove is around 30%. From the GC/MS results , it was found that the content of methyl ester and ethanol obtained was 60.12% and 1.13% respectively. Methyl ester from this husk can turn on the diessel engine with B 10 – B50. Keyword- Rice husk, pyrolysis, methyl ester,liquid smoke
