The Gasification of residual plastics derived from municipal recycling facilities
over 50 years. The process involves the conversion of materials having Carbon and Hydrogen in their chemical structure into clean synthesis gas, syngas, a mixture of Hydrogen (H2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO). Syngas can be used as a source of energy for combustion processes used to generate electricity (gas turbine …
