1. A gradual oxidation system comprising:

  • a solid fuel gasifier that extracts gas fuel from a solid fuel;

    a scrubber that removes contaminants from the gas fuel with a cleansing liquid; and

    a flameless combustion chamber that (i) receives the cleansing liquid and contaminants from the scrubber, (ii) maintains an internal temperature sufficient to provide a gradual oxidation process, and (iii) provides a residence time, such that substantially all the contaminants from the scrubber are oxidized within the flameless combustion chamber;

    wherein the flameless combustion chamber receives the gas fuel from the scrubber and oxidizes the gas fuel during the gradual oxidation process, and wherein the cleansing liquid and contaminants are heated with an exhaust gas from the flameless combustion chamber prior to delivery to the flameless combustion chamber.
