Parametric studies performed using Taguchi methods in order to optimize an experimental process and the results of the development of a laboratory vertical fixed-bed gasifier are reported. It was demonstrated that gasification is a reliable process on a laboratory scale and its results can be used at pilot plants. It was found that the frequency of sample injection at constant weight, the particle size of biomass, and the amount of secondary air have a greater effect on the formation of CO and H2 than that of the moisture content of the biomass and the process temperature.
