NOVELTY - System for pre-processing coal (201) and biomass (202) prior to gasification, comprises: source of coal and biomass; coal sizing tool and biomass sizing tool; kiln (207) comprising outer shell and inner core; hopper fixedly attached to proximal kiln end; water cleanup station (205) comprising means for drawing off water vapor from coal and biomass; wet scrubber comprising means for drawing off contaminants and hydrocarbons; steam generator comprising means for converting water vapor from water cleanup station to high pressure steam; and gasifier (211) to gasify pre-processed coal and biomass.    USE - The system is useful for pre-processing coal and biomass.    ADVANTAGE - The system: provides contaminant free fuel in most efficient and economic manner; provides less polluting fuel with higher caloric value; and saves energy in the gasification process.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - System for pre-processing coal (201) and biomass (202) prior to gasification, comprises: a source of coal and biomass; a coal sizing tool and a biomass sizing tool; a kiln (207) comprising an outer shell and an inner core and a proximal and distal end, where the kiln further comprises means for controlling the kiln temperature; a hopper fixedly attached to the proximal kiln end for receiving coal and biomass; a water cleanup station (205) comprising means for drawing off water vapor from the coal and biomass in the kiln; a wet scrubber comprising means for drawing off contaminants and hydrocarbons emanating from the pre-processing of coal and biomass; a steam generator comprising means for converting the water vapor from the water cleanup station to high pressure steam; and a gasifier (211) to gasify the pre-processed coal and biomass from the kiln in conjunction with the steam from the steam generator and hydrocarbons from the scrubber. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for pre-processing coal and biomass, comprising: heating coal and biomass in a rotary kiln; drawing off water vapor emanating from the heated coal and biomass by means of a water cleanup station, where the station is positioned near the proximal end of the kiln; drawing off contaminants and hydrocarbons from the rotary kiln into a wet scrubber, where the scrubber is positioned near the distal end of the kiln; separating the contaminants from the hydrocarbons by means of the wet scrubber; heating water from the water cleanup station by means of a steam generator; and directing the steam into a gasifier.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure shows a block diagram illustrating the components of the system and their interconnections to bring the raw coal and/or biomass into a state essentially free of water vapor and pollutants.
