Nice to know that the rules are to be broken. We operate a gasifier which 
handles tires, refuse derived fuel, plastic, cotton "burr" or gin trash, wood, 
sawdust. sander dust, have some clients working up to have it run waste oils 
including a vegetable oil. Haven't run coal yet, but it will probably do fairly 
well on it too, depending upon volatile content. Strips the tars, oils, water, 
low temperature volatiles, separate the tars, oils and water, recycles the 
tars back to the reactor, and keeps their heating value and conversion 
efficiency. Principal gas cleaners have no moving parts, no pressure drop, maintenance 
free, use 80-100 watts of power. 

Also has a feeder which accepts a wide variety of sizes and shapes, operates 
under some pressure, is quite reliable and simple. Will allow some ash fusion 
(clinkering) as the discharge system will handle it. Has no grate, not a 
downdraft, has heat recovery and water injection for optmization of carbon 
reduction. Removed water is cleaned up and reused as boiler grade feedwater, or 
discharged. 

All of this on a 40 ft. x 8 ft. skid with an additional 15 ft. of feed hopper 
and feeder on a separate hydraulic circuit.
