Ron,

 

We don't need to redefine processes or devices.

 

"Gasification" is NOT used in technical circles to "consume all char".
Although the main purpose of a gasifier , including TLUD gasifiers, is to
make gas all gasifiers make char.  All of the techniques for making char
include pyrolysis in some form but all processes that can be used to make
char - pyrolysis, gasification , combustion - are not all pyrolysis.
