[Gasification] Emissions fines

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

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.
