Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus and method for capturing the hot humid gases from a gypsum board dryer and utilizing those gases in the production of a synthetic gas (referred to as 'syngas'). The syngas produced can then be utilized within a gypsum board plant to reduce the amount of natural gas needed. The method utilizes the heated water vapor (HO) and carbon dioxide (CO) found within the flue gas of a board dryer. The HO and COare used in a gasification process to yield the syngas.
