    Abstract: CFD is the essential tool to investigate the complex chemical 
  and physical processes in a fluidized-bed reactor for biomass fast pyrolysis. 
  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<SUP>-1</SUP> at 30&deg;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&#146;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.
