This installation was commissioned in 1996 and was primarily used to gasify some of the most noxious industrial waste in Daejeon City, Korea. It also proved out the scalability of Hoskinson application of modular panelized construction of up to 200 tons per day per unit.

Summary

Prior to its initial testing for emission control the weather didn`t cooperate and it rained for 3 weeks. The waste dedicated for the test runs was as a result, immersed with water. Mr. Hoskinson insisted that the trials begin and within 20 minutes, the water-logged waste was being consumed effectively by his machine at temperatures greater that 1,100°C without using any auxiliary fuel!

The testing engineer was incredulous, and the Hoskinson`s gasifier passed all environmental tests.

This plant was constructed in Korea and was commissioned to get rid of industrial waste. The resulting bottom ash was less than 5% of the the total volume of waste introduced into the plant.
