Claim:
A high moisture refuse gasification combustion system for processing high moisture refuse, said system comprising: an advancer, a drier, a gasifier, a first gas regulator, and a post combustor: a. said advancer extending from the drier to the gasifier for moving refuse from the drier to the gasifier; b. said post combustor comprising a connection to the gasifier; c. said first gas regulator comprising: i. a plurality of input and output ports including: a first input port for receiving gas from the drier; a second input port for receiving gas from a first gas source; a first output port for directing gas into the gasifier; and a second output port for directing gas into the post combustor ii. valves for regulating gas flow in the system, and iii. control circuitry or software to allow the regulator to control opening and closing of the valves which regulate how much gas flows into the input port and how much gas flows out of the output port; and d. a central controller containing software for causing the controller to perform the steps of controlling the speed of the advancer, controlling a flow rate of gas through a first and second gas splitter, and controlling a positioning of the valves in the first gas regulator.
