Gasification ??
Who are the proponents?
Other than the small pilot research project in North Dakota, has the company operated any other facility on a commercial level?
Will in fact the Kamloops project be the first commercially run gasification unit operated by this company?
Will you please provide a schematic diagram of the equipment used?
Do other companies have this same plant operating elsewhere?
Has City Council or Ministry of Environment visited any of these plants?
How much residual waste would be produced by the process?
How much bottom ash, fly ash and scrubbing liquor?
What type of waste can it take?
Is this open-ended, does it include medical waste, hazardous waste, municipal waste?
How much waste will be produced?
What will be the air emissions? Details?
Will the system release nanoparticles?
How are these regulated?
How will they be monitored?
How will these be contained?
What air pollution control devices will be used to clean the syngas?
What air pollution control devices will be used after the stack of the gas burning engine?
What are permitted levels?
What will be the water emissions?
What pollutants will be present in the water?
Where will the water be released?
Will it be toxic to fish?
Will it produce electricity? Heat? How much?
Will the plant use any natural gas? Electricity?
How much energy will the plant use to gasify one ton of waste?
How much energy is used in the operation of the plant?
What is the net energy produced by the plant?
What will happen to the slag/ash?
Are there any commercial operations that will take the slag/ash and use it?
If the turbines don’t run, will the syngas be flared to air?
In both instances, what will be the mixture of gases released to air?
If the citizens of Kamloops do reject this project, is there competition from other communities to host such an operation?
If the majority of the community makes it clear that they do not want this facility in Kamloops, will the company withdraw its application?
