{"Image DocumentName": "PLASMA PROCESSING OF MSW AT COAL-FIRED POWER PLANTS", "Image ImageDescription": "Summary. By 2020, if all MSW was processed by plasma at coal-fired power plants (1 million TPD), MSW could: \u2022 Supply about 5% of U.S. electricity needs. \u2022 Replace about 140 million TPY of coal. \u2022 Eliminate about 15 million TPY of coal ash going to landfills. \u2022 Provide significantly cleaner coal plant air emissions. \u2022 Support the goals of the Clear Skies Act. 36.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
