David, on a number of occasions you have been personally invited to view
our systems here in Australia, including public demonstrations. When you
finally do I hope you will stop putting out statements like this below.
One of the biggest barriers to commercialisation we have found is the
seemingly willful ignorance of consultants and engineers with vested
interest in the field who point to statements like this to justify their
positions.
As Tom Reed will also tell you gas quality can increase with deliberate
co-production of char and in our own case is a system design choice that
is adjustable depending on project needs. It can in no way be descibed
as "De-tuning" the gasifier, it is rather "Optimising for co-products".
Planned char outputs can have a number of uses including as a processed
fuel, so are not efficiency losses in such a system.
Kind regards,
Peter
