Oh man, dirty word! Go wash your mouth out with soap!
In the refinery where I work (a former Texaco refinery), right in the middle of the area I'm responsible for, we have a Texaco gasifier unit.

They shut it down years ago because it was soooo unreliable and so inefficient, and soooooo dangerous.
If they ever decided to re-start that hunk of junk I'd quit.
