Greetings Dr. Karve, and all involved.


First off, I would tend to lean in favor of Jim Leach's respose for the
correct way to make Nitrogen free woodgas (in this case true "sysgas").
Bottled oxygen (like the ones welders use) would be a prime method of supply
for nitrogen free gas to reform biomass into syngas .

There are however, a few technical hurdles one must overcome,

a) The oxidataion "air" (pure O2) would be a much SMALLER amount than one
using natural "air", with this said, one would have to reduce nozzle or
tuyere, AND flow sizes accordingly.

b) The use of "SCUBA" type regulator, and delivery valve, would be the ideal
system, the fact that the delivery valve is designed to only admit breathing
air when one sucks on it, the same principals would work as a delivery
system into the tuyers or nozzles.

c) Since you are (would) be producing true "sysgas" the bottling of it would
be relitively simple, BUT one would have to be cautious in doing so, from
the flamibility and explosive standpoint of that sysngas.
