- Generally, gasoline is produced abundantly from crude petroleum refinery. Its compound contains paraffins, naphthenes, olefins and aromatics which the amount of carbon atoms from C4 to C11. The decreasing of petroleum reservoirs will influence the gasoline reservoirs as the famous fuel so the synthetic gasoline with high quality is needed to obstruct the rate of crude petroleum exploration in Indonesia. The objective of this research is how to produce gasoline from bagasse as the alternative fuel using iron sulfate as the catalyst at proper temperature. Reaction process occurred in the fixed bed reactor with two zones, first zone was thermal cracking and the second one is catalytic cracking. The effect of various temperature from 2000C to 3000C and effect of methanol concentration as the solvent varied from 10% to 30% were observed in this research while it occurred at constant solvent volume, mass of bagasse, and mass of catalyst. The gasoline product of this research has better characteristic than conventional gasoline from Pertamina with octane number 90 and heating value 19,872 Btu/lb while the highest yield was obtained at temperature 2500C, solvent concentration 20% for 100 minutes. The gasoline was analyzed in Laboratory of Pertamina UP III Plaju, Palembang – South Sumatera, Indonesia.
