I know that there are two types of by products. First, a syn-gas which is used to generate electricity by either a gas-turbine or the heat generated from the plasma torches can also be utilized in a steam turbine. Second, the heavy metals that melt down create a vitrified glass which can be utilized in construction for roads and insulation. The ratio of energy input to energy output is the key to this issue? Will Florida receive their bang for their buck? Only time will tell. If anyone knows any other technologies out there that convert waste to energy, economically and environmentally please let me know.
