  1. “PROVEN” TECHNOLOGIES

  2. Existing MSW combustion technologies generate residue called “flue” and “bottom” of this material.

  3. What is ash?

  4. This is the most common type of combustion facility for MSW operating in the US.

  5. What is mass burn?

  6. This technology can be found at the front end of a gasification, pyrolysis, or anaerobic digestion facility in addition to operating as a stand-alone technology to extract recyclable materials from MSW.

  7. What is mixed waste processing?

  8. The number of MSW waste-to-energy facilities operating in Texas.

  9. What is zero?

  10. GASIFICATION

  11. The gas produced by gasification, primarily comprised of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and methane, is referred to as this.

  12. What is syngas?

  13. Less of this is injected into the gasification combustion chamber than in more proven combustion technologies resulting in less residue.

  14. What is air (or oxygen)?

  15. MSW entering a gasification chamber typically needs to be reduced in size to between 2 and 12 of these.

  16. What are inches?

  17. The number of commercialized gasification facilities operating at full scale in the United States processing MSW.

  18. What is zero?

  19. PLASMA ARC

  20. Plasma arc technology “vitrifies” the residue into a solid with similar properties to this recyclable material.

  21. What is glass?

  22. Used in plasma arc technology to create an electric field that converts gas into heated and ionized plasma …. And at the Olympics.

  23. What is a torch?

  24. This Canadian capital city in Ontario has one of the few plasma arc facilities in North America operating full-scale processing MSW.

  25. What is Ottawa?

  26. The number of commercialized plasma arc gasification facilities operating at full scale in the United States processing MSW.

  27. What is zero?

  28. PYROLYSIS

  29. The material most commonly used as feedstock for this technology.

  30. What is plastic?

  31. In addition to gas that can be used for energy, this liquid product may be produced by pyrolysis.

  32. What is oil?

  33. The capital of Oregon.

  34. What is Salem?

  35. The number of commercialized pyrolysis facilities operating at full scale in the United States processing MSW.

  36. What is zero?

  37. ANAEROBIC DIGESTION

  38. The type of MSW that is commonly used as feedstock for this technology.

  39. What is organics?

  40. A marketable product made from the digestate from anaerobic digestion.

  41. What is compost (or fertilizer)?

  42. What aerobic digestion adds to the process that anaerobic digestion does not.

  43. What is air (or oxygen)?

  44. The number of commercialized anaerobic digestion facilities operating at full scale in the United States processing MSW.

  45. What is zero?
