[Gasification] firing catalytic

[Toby Seiler]

Peter,
   
  You were so busy ranting that you have not seen me ask over and over again about a two stage system where the first stage is firing into a catalytic unit (made of high temp ceramics), the second is fueled with water saturated fuel and/or dry fuel and oxygen starved.  Steam being added, but only as a supplement to the wetted fuel, if required.  Because of the ongoing/never-ending off topic discussion, I have received almost no response to reasonable questions about gasification.  True, I don't really understand many technical stochiometrics or sub-stochiometrics and I don't care if it's a stove term or gasification term.
   
  I'm an individual, a very small business, slightly more than hobbyist, but still don't want to re-invent the wheel, nor blow myself up.  As my targeted size is about 1000 horsepower input, I really can't afford too many mistakes.  If the unit I'm making can provide a gas that is flexible to run in an IC engine, then I know it can be used for a boiler or both.  Then comes the issue of a digester.  If I can maximize the hydrogen content, is liquid fuel production a viable option for a portion of the energy recovery.  These are reasonable questions that have not received answers, but I have instead forged through page after page of BS hoping to discern a morsel of gasification wisdom, big or small.
