5. Conclusion
An
updraft
biomass
gasifier
was
successfully constructed and operated using
wood, sugarcane wastes, and coconut shell
as feedstock. The results of the composition
of the producer gas of these three biomass
fuels were not up to the desired level, but it
is expected that a few minor modifications
with this gasifier will provides better results.
