Abstract: In this project, the product of capturing CO2 gas has been developed. It is called the bubbling fluidized bed CO2 absorption reactor (CO2 BFBAR). CO2 BFBAR consists of a main furnace, stand and gas distributor plate. The overall height of the CO2 BFBAR is 877.5 mm. The inner diameter of the reactor is 74 mm and the outer diameter is 88 mm. The operation of CO2 BFBAR is based on absorption-desorption of Calcium Oxide (CaO) and Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3). CO2 BFBAR product can increase the heating value of the producer gas from 4.37 MJ/Nm3 to 6.04 MJ/Nm3. It is an increase of 38% in 15 minutes. This will not just improve its heating value but inadvertently improve the amount of combustible gases such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide and methane.
