Garbage disposal?
By Mike Studley

I read the comment on getting
rid of garbage. What does it cost to dispose of garbage and what
is the wholesale electric price? I have a process that separates
inorganic (metals and bottles) then feeds organic with included
water to a remediator that generates carbon and gas that then
produces electricity.
Each of our typical machines
will process 100 tpd; we would design a smaller machine for Alaska
- Fairbanks and Anchorage could use the big one. 100 tpd of MSW
will yield about 3 megaWatts of electricity.
Who is responsible for the
disposal of MSW statewide?
I would imagine that the colder
parts of the state have a problem in mid-winter.
Thanks,
Mike Studley
