Water as a byproduct of gasification

[CAVM@aol.com]

Let me explain my reasoning for thinking that water is a byproduct.   We 
developed a new heating system for poultry houses in part to combat the 
humidity put into the air by the old open flame propane brood heaters.  Now 
the poultry houses in KY use our hot water heating system in many of the 
houses.

If water vapor comes off of the combustion of propane and natural gas, I 
reasoned that it would like wise be a byproduct of the combustion of gas from 
a gasifier.

If I had an unlimited inexpensive fuel, a gasifier and a use for the heat 
produced by the combustion of the gas, water could be a cheap byproduct of 
the process.  Let's say that I had a large coal mine in an arid area.  I want 
to gasify the coal, burn the gas and collect the water byproduct.  Of course, 
the burning of the gas would be in a value added process, not wasted.

If this is correct, even to a small degree, couldn't a gasifier stove in an 
arid part of Africa, Afghanistan or anywhere, produce a small amount of 
collectable water as it did its work?
