The effect of oxygen on the formation of syngas contaminants during the thermochemical conversion of carbonaceous feedstocks has been quantified using an integrated biorefinery plant operated at a biomass input of about 4.5 metric tons/day. This plant combines solids steam reforming and gases steam...
