Significant valuable resources are created from the use of the Plasma Converter. For example, in processing a ton of municipal waste, the cooling process and steam turbines create 1,000 Kilowatt hours of electricity and 70,000 gallons drinking water. Multiply that by a thousand tons per day of waste processing for a typical large municipality, and that daily quantity becomes: 1,000,000 Kilowatt hours and 70,000,000 gallons drinking water. Also 24,000 cubic feet of Hydrogen gas is created by one ton of waste, so Hydrogen would be created at 24,000,000 cubic feet per day.
With that typical 1 THOUSAND TONS of waste Per Day, a $270 Million Plasma Converter could pay for itself in 8 to 10 years.
Here's how: Landfill usage "Tipping Fees" run from an average $35 to over $100 Per Ton in high population areas. These ever-increasing costs, along with hauling fees, could be reduced by $75 Per Ton / Per Day, by Plasma-Converting the waste instead, and selling the electric, water, gas, and solid by-products.
Landfills could become a thing of the past. This $75 Per Ton / Per Day savings, comes to $27 Million Per Year or $270 Million in 10 years. Those costs will no doubt rise, and that will shorten the payoff time. There's also considerable value in clearing out landfills and returning them and nearby lands to commercial or residential use. After the Converter is paid for, these cost savings then become a perpetual annual surplus of $27,000,000 (at today's costs).
Among the locations where Startech Converters are successfully operating: Connecticut, Maryland, Japan and Poland. Many countries are interested in the Plasma Converter, including: China, The U.K., Canada, Russia, Brazil, Mexico, Italy, Romania and Venezuela. The first Converter was sold to the U.S. Army to dispose of chemical weapons at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland. The second Converter is working in Japan, disposing of PCB's. Several others are under cnstruction.
