Hi Toby,
good idea to correct that Wiki page,
but,
you don't have to go on your knees and ask "Wiki" to change it,
you can do it yourself, thats even the whole idea behind Wiki,
If you do e.g. a Google search for < wiki Syngas >
you end up on the specific 'Article' page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syngas
Note, its already filled pretty good,
compared to e.g. the dutch page about the same subject
http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syngas
If you have knowledge about the subject and don't agree
with part of the content, or like to add missing information,
you can click on top of that page the tab "Edit"
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Syngas&action=edit
and add or change stuff and re-upload that page.
( Editing content on Wiki is selfservice)
Of course to do so, you need to be logged in,
and therefor need to create an account;
but thats free and not complicated to do.
Maybe before taking such actions you may like to
see what others already tried to change on that page,
and if it not was wiped-out for some reason.
Therefor visit the discussion page, were you find former asked questions
and propositions about that Syngas article.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Syngas
or the < View history > tab
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Syngas&action=history
to see what former changes were done and undone.
I'm sure there are allot of people on this list who have the knowledge
or expertise
to add or correct to Gasification terminology on Wiki,
Wiki is indeed not the perfect source, but used by many when they start
exploring new stuff.

GF, Doug,
GF you say; "Perhaps we should consider the ICE as the primary provider of heat for pyrolization, and build the gasifier around it." That's a very interesting thought for a CHP.
We've agreed for some time about the need for more understanding/application of water gas (and steam). It's interesting that you have seen water gas has been historically an important part of energy in earlier times, than today. On my front, I've made a new mold for making a cat that mimics a hot bed of IR coals and am switching from ceramic to HT refractory. The first ones were not mechanically strong enough... several breaking before kiln firing.
Doug, I agree with you completely about the use of the term "syngas" to describe producer gas. The term should be reserved for water gas because that gas can be "synthesized" into other fuels.
Look at Wiki, it has adopted a definition of "syngas" that even a campfire can make. Hardly credible !!! Perhaps you would join me in asking Wiki to change the "syngas" into a more credible definition... than someones marketing hype.
Best regards,
Toby Seiler
