Tom,
With good gasification and particulate filtration fouling should not be an issue. The condensate should have light tars and salts. The benefits should be corrosion resistance and heat transfer. I don't know if graphite filters are affordable. The units used in domestic boilers are probably compact with tight gas passages which would reduce the cost but would not be suitable for producer gas.

Dear Tom, Graphite is also used for separation of gaseous uranium isotopes because of it's chemical resistance, diffusion system, Oak Ridge etc.. It will still foul.

Heat transfer is reportedly 8 times that of stainless steel. Why not use them for cooling and condensing producer gas?
