[Gasification] Where is Everyone?

[Bob Stuart]

Of course. Pressure vessels are a known hazard, so that has to be 
considered in any adaptation.   However, the big danger with boilers is 
the amount of superheated water that will flash to steam if something 
ruptures.  I'm just talking about a few cubic feet of hot air that can 
expand 30% in an accident if using one car turbo.
