| I'm looking for information on a waste disposal process called
| "Pyro-Molecular Transformation" (PMT), which is based on the
| concept of pyrolyzing waste molecules using a thermal plasma
| field. Environmental Pyrolysis Systems, acting as an agent for
| National Energetics Co., has contracted with the Chehalis Indian
| Tribe here in Washington State for the construction of a test
| plant designed to turn municipal waste into a variety of resalable
| chemical products (e.g. methane, ethane and carbon)...
"thermal plasma" sounds like incineration to me, run thru Newspeak -
-burning aluminum produces more energy than it requires for ignition, too.
