APPENDIX

Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone’s free use or not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

0.This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The “Program”, below, refers to any such program or work, and a “work based on the Program” means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term “modification”.) Each licensee is addressed as “you”.

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

1.You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program’s source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

2.You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

a)You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

b)You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.

c)If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License.

(Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

3.You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and

2above provided that you also do one of the following:

a)Accompany it with the complete corresponding machinereadable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

b)Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

c)Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.

If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

4.You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received

TGM-100C, TGM-100 specifications

The Sunfire TGM-100 and TGM-100C are advanced, next-generation gasification systems developed by Sunfire, a pioneer in sustainable energy technologies. These models are designed to convert a broad range of carbon-based feedstocks, such as biomass and waste materials, into high-quality synthesis gas (syngas). Utilizing a unique combination of innovative technologies, they stand out in the realm of clean energy production.

One of the main features of the TGM-100 and TGM-100C is their efficient conversion process. They employ a dual-stage gasification technology that enhances the efficiency of energy extraction from various raw materials. The first stage utilizes pyrolysis, where the feedstock is thermally decomposed in the absence of oxygen, leading to the production of bio-oil and char. This is followed by a gasification stage, where the remaining solid residues are converted into syngas using controlled amounts of oxygen and steam. This two-step process ensures high conversion rates and maximizes energy output.

In terms of technology, both models are equipped with advanced control systems that monitor and optimize the gasification parameters in real-time. These systems improve operational flexibility and reliability, allowing the units to adapt to varying feedstock qualities. Additionally, the TGM-100C version is designed with modular capabilities, making it easier to scale projects according to specific energy needs or feedstock availability.

Another characteristic that sets these models apart is their emphasis on environmental sustainability. The systems are designed to minimize emissions, contributing to a cleaner energy landscape. The syngas produced can be utilized in various applications, including power generation, chemical production, and as a substitute for natural gas in industrial processes.

The TGM-100 and TGM-100C are also notable for their robustness and durability. Built to withstand high operational demands, they feature high-grade materials and components that ensure long-lasting performance even under challenging conditions. These characteristics make them suitable for a range of applications, from industrial settings to remote off-grid locations.

In summary, the Sunfire TGM-100 and TGM-100C represent cutting-edge advancements in gasification technology. With their efficient energy conversion processes, modular capabilities, real-time optimization, and commitment to sustainability, they are a compelling choice for those seeking reliable and environmentally friendly energy solutions.
