The rapid development of technology and industrialization has confronted humanity with two important problems: the depletion of fossil energy resources and environmental damage. This study aims to determine the effect of the particle size distribution of the bed on the composition of the produced syngas which has the potential to replace fossil fuels. The particle bed used is silica sand with 4 variations of particle size distribution with a diameter of 600-1000 µm. The results of this study indicate that the larger the particle size distribution of the bed can reduce the temperature distribution and composition of the syngas produced. The highest temperature distribution was found in the 1st particle size distribution variation of 1060.23 K. The highest syngas composition was found in the 3rd particle size distribution variation of 2.21% CH4, 19.68% CO, 6.21% CO2, and 18.51% H2The highest syngas composition was found in the 3rd particle size distribution variation of 2.21% CH4, 19.68% CO, 6.21% CO2, and 18.51% H2. The lowest temperature distribution was obtained in the 3rd particle size distribution variation of 1057.77 K. The lowest syngas composition was found in the 4th particle size distribution 1.99% CH4, 17.71% CO, 5.63% CO2, and 16.66% H2.
