Abstract
Dry agricultural with heat energy from biomass furnace via gasification technology is simple process and low investment cost. The biomass is easy to find as fuel in area. The objective of this research was to saving electric energy in drying process by using heat energy from gasification technology. The gasification was designed for small size and insulated. The air flow rate was stidied at 3×10-3 m3/s, 4×10-3 m3/s and 5×10-3m3/s pespectively and biomass was used for 5kg/experiment. The highest CO gas was 34.71% at air flow ratre 4×10-3 m3/s. The technology has been transferred to small industry in Ratchaburi and Supanburi Province. The gasification technology can save gas energy 5,000 Bath/month
