[Gasification] [Terrapreta] new address to the simple kiln

[charles purdy]

Dear All,

I have been fooling about this wood gasification for around 25 years and am 
looking for some one to assist in the setting up of a wood gas / spark 
engine / gen set / heat recovery system to meet the needs of my shellfish 
operation.
I need some one who can give me a firm quote on a system that is proven as I 
am going after some Gov support and they will need to protect vulnerable 
parts of their anatomy better left unmentioned.
Please contact me off list at malagashoyster1 at yahoo.ca

Kindest regards to all and thanks for the great information that shows up on 
this list.
Charles
