Plasco to build 15MW waste to electricity facility in Ontario

December 30, 2012 |

In Canada, the Plasco Energy Group announced it will build a 150,000 tonnes per year Waste Conversion Facility in Ottawa, using the Plasco Conversion System to create synthetic gas, which will produce approximately 15MW of net electricity that will be sold to the grid. Residual solids are refined using Plasma to produce slag which meets requirements for a range of applications, including construction aggregates and abrasives. Moisture in the waste is recovered, cleaned and made available for reuse in the community.  The city of Ontario has leased to Plasco for nominal cost the site for the facility and will pay a tipping fee for each tonne processed of $83.25 per tonne.
