<div> <font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000" face="arial"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The DoD has tried to use plasma gasification for MSW and it was a miserable failure, costing huge input power, high operating expenses including replacing carbon electrodes as expensive and frequent, inconsistent performance, never achieving the rated output and very unstable operation. The multi-million dollar system was scrapped. Others have also made it to the scrap yard. </span></font></div>

<div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000" face="arial"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">We have a small gasification system that can operate on marine waste, MSW/RDF, a system for presorting the MSW into a RDF as a single unit, and operate an IC engine as an independent unit and or supply thermal power. It is 18 ft. x 8 ft and around 8 ft. tall and operates on around 200 pounds/hour and when mixed with other materials, can also operate on waste oils such as those that might be derived from bilge water. It produces a white/grey ash with some clinker in it, with very low carbon content and volumetric reduction of 90%+. </span></font></div>

</span></font></div>
<div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000" face="arial"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">To those who are considering developing this type of system, any existing process used in gasification should be discarded to avoid wasting a huge amount of time and resources without success. This comes after many decades of seeking innovative methods to address the problems. The list of what doesn't work is quite extensive. </span></font></div>
