Incomplete combustion of biomass fuels generate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons many of which have been shown to be potentially carcinogenic. Both a pilot scale and a full scale batchin-bin drying system have been utilized in conjunction with a pilot scale and full scale downdraft gasifier to measure the organic and particulate residue remaining on the corn.
