[Gasification] DOE's demonstration gasification project history

[Kevin Chisholm]

Dear Paula

Thank you for your reply. Tom raised a very interesting question, and I 
am wondering that with the experience of some 400 sales under your belt, 
you could perhaps give a profile of your typical Gasifier Customer, 
covering these points:
1: How long in operation
2: Heat only, or engine grade fuel
3: Thermal output of gasifier, and kw output of engine or generator
4: Cost of diesel fuel per litre and electricity per kw-hr at the site.
5: Nature and cost of fuel for gasifier, $US equivalent per tonne

This would be very helpful in demonstrating the application areas for 
gasifier/engine systems, and would alert people who have a potentially 
viable gasifier opportunity.

Best wishes,

Kevin
