I agree that if an effective gasifier could be found and the gases be of 
predictable quality that running IC engines or maybe even turbines from them 
would be an option.

Using the IC engine pump might be the trick if the gasifier would work.  
Gasifiers are not sufficiently reliable, are moderately expensive and 
temperamental.  If the aeration system fails millions of dollars worth of 
shrimp die.

Maybe several decentralized units would be the safest way to go, but even 
still the gasifiers are touchy.  Direct combustion turbines would be more 
likely to get my attention.

How reliable would the gasifier turbo be?  Maybe the variable quality of the 
gas would be less of an issue.
