[Gasification] To all... a question

[Peter & Kerry Davies]

Kenny,

As a single retort the short answer is no. What we are doing is close 
coupling a number of individual retorts each optimised for its purpose 
to give you essentially a modular plant that is easily replicated to the 
scale required and can be "mixed & matched" depending on biomass 
resource available and final product mix required.

cheers,
Peter
