In this study, has been conducted a CFD simulation of fast pyrolysis process for Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) in fluidized-bed reactor. EFB particles were injected into the reactor with mass flow rate 500 g h-1 at 30°C temperature. The Eularian-Eularian Model was applied for the multiphase model and for the momentum transfer between solid and fluid was used the Syamlal and O’Brien drag model. The mathematical equation which represent the transport phenomena were implemented in CFD software Ansys Fluent 14. This study predicted the yield products (char, bio-oil, non-condensable gas) of fast pyrolysis process for EFB where the prediction of simulation compared with the experimental result and obtained a good agreement.
