Dear Tom,
It appears from the response that they are adding emission
equipment which is not an operator issue. It is not an engine operation
from the nature of the emissions, i.e., particulate. Therefore, it is
probably a two stage combustor which creates particulate emissions.
Therefore, it is only loosely a gasifier in my dictionary. I would in
fact, prefer to move them out of the gasifier regime because they cause
real gasifier designs problems with the emission issue. A real gasifier
does not have any emissions, is a fuel gas supply like a natural gas
well. EPA states this clearly.
I wonder why EPA stepped in? California has it's own air districts
and I thought enforcement arms. Federal EPA funds California's plan.
Sincerely,
Leland T. "Tom" Taylor
President

Bill, As they say, "What does this have to do with the price of tea in
China?" Industrial plants get fined all the time. It's usually a
reflection of management rather than technology. I know gasification
plants that have paid their fair share of fines.
