I would tend to differ on that....
"laboratory data" on one gasifier does NOT a bunch make, comparing a poorly
designed gasifier to a top end boiler.... go figure, what next, there
"Really IS" a man in the moon.......
Disinformation at it's finest!

I have seen data from laboratory research on gasifiers and dioxins were
formed. In fact, significant amounts were formed. In terms of dioxin
formation, the gasifier is likely worse than a good boiler.

I would say that in practcal way there is always presence of oxygen except
in case of Plasma gasification where temp is very high. If sufficient oxygen
is not there then full burning is not possible and till date there is no
system available which can mix fuel and oxygen perfactly. Sunil Rawal
