Hi Michael (And List).
Michael, the problems in doing "waste" (as in excrement) is, that one must look at what is going into the animal, to predict what is coming out, and hence into your gasifier. I'll ask this, is there ANY chance that fats or carcass's end up in the waste ? if so, there are nasty things called "dioxins" (There are many types, BUT quite a few are REALLY nasty) that if found in the gasifiers final output to the atmosphere, would have you instantly shut down, by most regulatory boards, or the EPA. Yes, there are company's that are doing this kind of thing, (one very near me) but the hoops one must jump through, you might also consider gasification of animal culls and sicks, as well as deaths, as a supplementary supporting method for the startup cost of using waste, as a fuel. If memory serves me correct they, (the plant near me) had a startup cost in the area of 12 million, and that is for 200KwT in a 48 up, 48 down, batch process. Very hard to justify.

I'm looking to gasify for power generation either poultry litter or swine waste (I'm in a state that has ample free supply of both).
