Oh duh! I guess maybe I'm confused. I thought MSW included sewage sludge, and in particular I was interested in gasifiying the sewage sludge. However, as Jerry pointed out, that would include heavy metals, probably dioxin and PCB's, since the water treatment system doesn't separate the sewage from industry and residential, AFAIK. So I guess I'll have to resubmit the question -- what about sewage sludge gasification, is anyone doing that? And would there be problems with emissions?
