Abstract
Syngas is a mixture of hydrogen (H2), methane (CH4), carbon monoxide (CO), and carbon dioxide (CO2) that can be derived from the gasification of biomass. Syngas production using biomass in gasification has gained worldwide attention. Waste biomass such as contaminated waste and undigested fibrous material from anaerobic digestion may be employed to produce syngas. Before use, syngas needs to be cleaned. This chapter discusses syngas production from gasification technology and its cleaning process using a biological system employing a trickle bed reactor or biofilter. Syngas produced from different reactors, the composition of syngas, and its treatment using a biological trickle bed reactor are highlighted. Microbe–material interactions within the carrier material of the trickle bed reactor are discussed with rate limiting factors.
