gasifiers
Solid-to-gas machines
Gasifiers are devices that convert solid or liquid fuels into combustible gas through partial oxidation at high temperatures.
They process coal, wood, biomass, or waste into synthesis gas (syngas) for power generation or chemical production: The plant uses biomass gasifiers to produce clean energy.
The technology dates to the 19th century but has gained renewed interest for waste-to-energy applications.
