[Gasification] Straw Fueled CHP

[Greg Manning]

GREETINGS all of you....

Yes to the silica removal (Tom) active hearth.

And Pete, I remember your running grass..

Both of you, the active hearth I'm running should take care of any cinter
or clinker, it is however a test hearth with only a perceived result. only

Greg
