The system can be used for the gasification of wood and agricultural waste. The system consists of highly engineered machinery working in unison to reduce waste and create valuable energy. Wood and agricultural waste is placed on a conveyor, which feeds the waste directly to the gasifier. The waste is gasified with a specific amount of controlled oxygen to ensure a usable flow of gas. The gas is channelled to a cyclone, where large particles, called char, are removed. The gas stream is then sent to a wet electrostatic precipitator, where it is cleaned at the sub-micron level, then to a dryer to reduce its saturation, and finally to the engine. The engine produces electric power for operational use or sale to the grid. The system also produces heat, which can be used for various purposes. Beltran@earthlink.net, 718-338-3311
