Company's technology converts landfills into electricity and roads, by vaporizing garbage at

temperatures hotter than parts of the sun. Lightning-like plasma arcs turn trash into gas and

rock-like material.

How it Works

Input is passed through high intensity arc, which instantaneously turns the inflow into its

elemental form (individual atoms). Process also produces a gas which can be used to fuel

generators to run the arc, leaving 2/3 of the electricity to be sold to the grid.

Plasma Plants Will Vaporize Trash While Generating Energy - St. Lucie County

in Florida announced that it has teamed up with Geoplasma to develop the United

States first plasma gasification plant. The plant will use super-hot 10,000 degree

fahrenheit plasma to effectively vaporize 1,500 tons of trash each day, which in turn

spins turbines to generate 60MW of electricity - enough to power 50,000 homes!

County Plans to Vaporize Landfill Trash - A Florida county has grand plans toditch its dump, generate electricity and help build roads - all by vaporizing garbage at

temperatures hotter than parts of the sun. The 100,000-square-foot plant, slated to be

operational in two years, is expected to vaporize 3,000 tons of garbage a day. County

officials estimate their entire landfill - 4.3 million tons of trash collected since 1978 -

will be gone in 18 years. A material created from melted organic matter - up to 600

tons a day - will be hardened into slag, and sold for use in road and construction

projects. Will be the first such plant in the U.S. operating on such a massive scale, and

the largest in the world.(PhysOrg/AP; Sept. 11, 2006)

There will be atomic constituents that do not belong in the air, and of course there will be

carbon dioxide. There will be NO REMAINS of anything that the entering material contained.

Metals could be airborne, and halogens will exit partly as acid gases; these are the most likely

pollutants, if the flue gases are not scrubbed. This technique of reclamation is used to dispose

of hazardous wastes by putting them into steel mill furnaces that reduce the wastes to atoms.

of the relatedMagneGas technology wrote:

Indeed, as you say, at first sight seems to be a similar process as the one developed by Mr.

Santilli. I understand Mr. Santilli has patents for the process, so, if there is a real similarity, it

could rise a legal problem. Anyway IMHO, the main problem faced by this kind of

development is the lack of acceptance and understanding from the scientific community.

After looking at the presentation of the video on the geoplasma site, I concluded that the main

difference of the Geoplasma with the Hadronic reactor, is that Geoplasma employs solid

("dry") waste and therefore requires the injection of huge amounts of air to allow the plasma

formation reaction. I also think the people of Geoplasma have not yet discovered the unusual

characteristics of the gas they produce, they basically were looking for a better way to burn

waste, and they found a byproduct that I assume they did not expect. Hadronic reactors work

on the basis of liquid streams, and don't require air inyection because the plasma forms

instantaneously from the liquid. You could also treat solid waste with an hadronic reactor, but

it would require the adding of water to dilute the solids to a 10% of the weight. I can state,

from reading Santilli's patents, that his Hadronic reactors have to be more efficient than the

geoplasma technology, because the gas formation is not very efficient if it is fixed on a static

point, and Mr. Santilli technology uses a moving "spark" in order to keep the gas formation at

peak efficiency (if you don't do this, the gas burns itself in the "spark" and is lost).

Plasma, being hotter than sun surface, allows for a complete burning of anything, that's why it

could also rise the efficiency of motor vehicles (as the Krupa spark plug and the plasma

technologies that your site portrayed a few days ago state).

On Sept. 15, 2006, New Energy Congressmember, Joel Garbon, wrote:

Use of plasma to gassify organic materials prior to combustion has been known for some

time. My understanding is that there are commercial operations using a similar process in

Taiwan and Japan for turning municipal waste to energy, and pending projects in the U.S.

southeast (Florida?). I believe the the U.S. Army has this technology in its portfolio for

destroying the active agents in decommissioned chemical munitions. Recent incineration of

nerve gas at the Army Depot in Umatilla, Oregon may have used plasma.
