I just came across this interesting AP article about how an Atlanta based company called Geoplasma is building and paying for a new garbage vaporizing facility in St. Lucie County Florida. The facility is scheduled to be ready in two years and if all goes as planned the facility will use lightning like plasma arcs to vaporize 3,000 tons of garbage a day. Some useful byproducts will also be created in the process; a synthetic gas that will be used to power turbines to create electricity, a slag byproduct will be sold/used for road construction, etc.
It sounds very promising but the plan does have some critics. Some aren’t sure about the company’s “cleaner emissions” claims and others have yet to see proof of the process working on such a large scale. Hopefully this is a viable technology that can be duplicated throughout the world.
