[Gasification] Gasification Digest, Vol 85, Issue 4

[Doug]

Hi David and Bjorn,

I totally agree with what you both you say, but, David, even when proven

more than they can spend time running them.

Bjorn, you vanished years ago. Not still drying chips in your wifes oven 
I hope.

Regards,

Doug Williams,

Fluidyne.
