Hey there, it's Josh and for this week's s Y s K selects, I've chosen please listen to How Plasma Waste Converters Work. It is one of those unsung sleeper episodes that may prove to be one of the greatest Stuff You Should Know episodes of all time. It talks about technology we had never heard of until we came across it and started researching it, and still to this day, five full years later, it is just as mind blowing to me as when I first heard about it. So check out. Please listen to how Plasma waste Converters work. Welcome to Stuff You Should Know, a production of I Heart Radio. Hey, and welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh Clark, Just Charles W. Chuck Bryant, guest producer Noel is here. Noel's moved in. Yeah, yeah, so what that that cod is on the floor. He works constantly. Uh you know what my superhero nickname was as a child. Uh, I'll tell you Plasma Boy. No it wasn't. Yeah, I'm just kidding. That was a weird joke. Why we're talking about plasma Plasma Boy? Yeah, like a radioactive man in Plasma Boy. Yeah, but it wasn't Plasma Boy, it was what was it? What was the sidekicks name? Radioactive Man Sidekicks? Uh? Now I want to know, dude. Well, that's a band, I know, but I wonder if it's based on that. Maybe I don't know. Huh. We'll find out, won't we. Well, we'll look it up and then we'll find out with a million emails. So um, Plasma Boy, huh. I wish you must have an affinity for this episode. Then it's great, Chuck. You know when lightning strikes there, We did a pretty awesome podcast on lightning. Do you remember we talked about how it literally rips the sky open, It rips the atmosphere open, and as it's traveling down through this ripped open atmosphere, the air on either side of this stuff is superheated to about twenty thousand degrees. It's more than three times the surface temperature of the sun celsius. I should say celsius, not even fair Nhey, it's about twelve grand celsius. Roughly, it's super hot, right arm sorry, fair Kney does a fair kneit, yeah, twelve grand fair kneite, yeah, okay. At any rate, twenty degrees is lightning and this when the air is superheated, it takes on what's commonly called the fourth state of matter, plasma. Right, so you've got solid, boring liquid. The gas awesome, okay, but plasma is super awesome. Gas. It's it's a bit like a gas, and usually it starts out as the gas, but it it holds an electro magnetic field or creates an electromagnetic field, and it holds an electrical charge. It has free roaming electrons, it running through it doing all sorts of crazy stuff. It just basically breaks gas into like this this crazy, weird different type of fluid and that's plasma and it's awesome. Yeah. Ionized gas, yes, pretty good stuff. Uh, super high tempts, like you were saying. And because it's a super high a tempt, what it can do is it it can break down. It can it can it can cause something solid to undergo what's called molecular dissociation, which means it's not just burning something, it's not melting something. It's actually exposing it to so much heat that the molecular bonds break apart and it becomes a pile of it's components and it breaks it down to from its compound of molecules to its atomic components. Yeah, pretty amazing. It is very amazing. UM. And it's like you said, it's not it's not UM burning Like this process of UM using a plasma torch to break something down to decompose it is actually what it's doing. UM doesn't even need to use oxygen nope. UM. So that means that it's a process called pyrolysis, which is intense, intense heat that creates decomposition in some sort of matter, especially organic matter, and UM. As a result, you get these byproducts. If it's a an organic piece of materials, say like some corn stalks that are using a biomass feedstock, UM, it will become something called sin gas. Right. And then if it's something like um uh old pair of roller skates, yeah, we'll save those. First of all plasma, which is not very good any longer. So the leather is was at one point organic. I guess it would still be considered an organic material that turns into gas. The metal in the skates that will turn into something called slag, right, and it undergoes the process of vitrification, Yeah, it does. Vitrification is where this this stuff becomes so the bombs break between it so thoroughly that it becomes basically a form of glass, yeah, like volcanic glass, almost at least what it looks like, Yeah, like obsidient. So all this sounds great. We're kind of beating around the bush about what a plasma torch can do. Um, And here's the big, the big bomb boom. Plasma torches can burn garbage and waste. Yes, and not only at they can burn it without combustion, which means there's not a bunch of smoke. Yeah, and they can actually harvest the energy in that garbage in incredible ways, because it turns out garbage is chock full of potential energy. You can release that energy when you burn it like just regular incineration, but you only can maybe net about fifteen percent of the energy that's locked into this big pile of garbage in like a landfill, right, what a waste. With using a plasma torch to create pyrolysis or gasification, you can net up to eight of that energy that's locked in their potentially into garbage. So what we're talking about is a potential future where we are using plasma torches to create energy to sell back to the grid to create steam to turn those turbines. Like we're always still just knocked out that that's how you create energy these days. I'm sorry electricity. Sure. Uh. And then sell off byproducts as well and make more money. Yes, it's it's like I cannot be more excited about this. And medical waste, chemical waste, throw it in there. In fact, you know what, so anything you got in their daddy, except for like radioactive material, you gotta you gotta swine flu outbreak. Take those pig carcasses. You throw them into the gasification chamber. There is no swine flu left. It is totally gone. Or how about this, I'll bring it to your farm. I'll have a small one set up. You gotta swine flu outbreak. I'll come to your farm and I'll burn up all those nasty pigs. You've got some toxic waste, Oh well, we'll just burn that in a gasification chamber and we'll break it down to its innert components. It's not gonna hurt anybody no more, little lamb. I guess we keep saying burn. Well, it's really tough not to. Yes, you see torch torch? Yeah? Nice? All right, So let's talk Strickland wrote this, Jonathan Strickland of Tech Stuff, and he did a great job and he seemed to be as excited about it as we are when he was writing it, because how can you not be. Uh, let's talk about some of the parts of these things. The first thing that he points out that we should point out is that um any plasma conversion gasification facility is going to be unique to its own needs. They're all custom built at this point. There's no standardized unit. There are some companies that are starting to, like Westinghouse has some that you can just like what amounts to off the shelf the backyard gasifier pretty much. Yeah, I think they have like three different models, although I'm sure they will custom build you whatever you want and you're probably right. Uh but any rate, when he wrote this, they weren't super standardized. And that's good that we're going towards. But um so, what we're gonna talk about it, you know, sort of depends on the system. But what you're probably gonna have is conveyor belt that's gonna move the garbage into the converter. Yeah, it's gonna play that Bugs Bunny Powerhouse song. Oh man. Sometimes they will pre treat the stuff like, although you could, if you had a big enough um machine, you could throw an entire car in it, let's say, Yeah, but sometimes it's more efficient to break that car down and have a pile of tires and a pile of scrap metal and break it down to its components, just to make it more efficient. Yeah, because it's gonna use a lot less energy to break it down into smaller parts and then feed it into the the plasma torch incenterator. Then it will to just torch it with the torch because these things use a lot of energy. Yeah, a lot of energy. They probably saved that for when the investors come by right there, like, watch you now you see it? Now you don't, uh, you have your furnace of course, and Strickland says, this is where the magic happens um because you don't need oxygen. It is air locked and airtight. Um junk goes in, but the heat doesn't escape into the atmosphere or the gases or the byproducts, which again that is really saying something about the material science that's gone into this. Because these things are burning at like or heated to six thousand degrees Fahrenheigh again celsius, like the temperature of the sun. Yeah, in this little in this canister right here. It's amazing. I'm surprising about plasma weapons for real. I think it's really great that they don't. I looked into it. It's like the realm of video games of course, like plasma guns and stuff. Uh So, if you have a furnace, which you will, you're gonna have the plasma torch which is in the lower like half of the furnace, let's say. And they're also gonna have some drainage for that slag and some venting for the gas, and it's going to be water cooled. Yeah. One of the things that came across to me and this researching this is these things frequently have like really elegant designs. Right. So, like you have a drain for the slag, which again is the molten metal that's broken down to like it's constituent parts. It's inorganic material and depending on how you treat it will turn into glass or sand or nodules, right yeah. Um, And then you have the gas going up, but you also and you're draining off the slag, but you're also keeping some in because it forms basically a coke bed that keeps the furnace hot, which means you have to use less energy in your in your plasma torch, just like having your own little lava bed, right just sort of sitting there. So that's pretty cool, But eventually you're gonna probably want to get some of the slag out of there because you're gonna do cool things with it, which we'll talk about later. The plasma torches themselves are clever, amazing little instruments. It's basically a uh it's a lightning creator. Like they use an electrical arc. They push usually just plain old air through it so that this electric charge heats the air to these six thousand degrees, turns it into plasma and then that's what's directed into the furnace. It is very crazy, but that's that's what they're doing with a little water cooled torch that that gets super hot, also doesn't use any kind of oxygen for combustion, right. And also these things you want to turn me on with electrical stuff is show me a system that powers itself, right that I just love that more than anything. And these facilities, um, I mean they've got they've got excess energy to spare afterwards. Not only can they power themselves in a lot of cases, they're selling uh back to the grid. So once you've got this initial input where you get this thing going online and you heat that plasma torch up for the first time, the moment you start feeding feedstock into it, which in this cases garbage plain old municipal solid waste from the land back to the future. Right, um, Right, when you start feeding that, it starts to produce energy. And the way that it does that that gas that escapes. Sing gas. Let's talk about sing gas. Dude. Sincas is a beautiful, amazing, elegant thing. It has, it's combustible and it's untreated form, so you could use it to burn like natural gas, although it has about half the energy density of natural gas. But if you're burning um garbage, it's just basically free natural gas. The byproduct you can also treat it and scrub it and just release it into the atmosphere is innert gas. No problems with that water water scrubbed, right, But when the sing gas exits the furnace, it's it wants to expand. So if you're a very clever engineer, you'll put what's called the gas turbine right there, and gas turbine is spun by expand in the gas. Well, you got plenty of that stuff, right, So you've got the sing gas going through the gas turbine spinning that so it's a generating electricity. It's also very hot, so once it goes through that gas turbine, it can be caught by what's called a heat recovery steam generator, right, and that's just got some water going through and it uses hot, this hot heat gas to turn the water into steam. Well, that in turn turns another turbine. It generates even more electricity. And then at the end, before you even treat it, you have all the sing gas that could be used to fuel a combustion engine to generate even more electricity, all from burning garbage. All right, we have to take a break because I have the peel josh off the ceiling because you're so excited about sin gas. All right, we'll be back in a second. How you feeling, buddy, He okay, I'm so excited. This might as well be ocean currents. Oh yeah, you like that one too high. All right, so we're talking about sin gas. You need to scrub it with water. They passes through a spray of water. You're actually cleaning gas, which is pretty interesting as a concept. And then there are all measure of filters afterward to remove acids and things like that which do form weird byproducts like salts and salts. It's pretty neat. If you run it through a base scrubber, it turns into salts. But there again in like just go ahead, pick up a handful and eat it. See what happens. Probably nothing. And if you use an afterburner, sometimes they'll use a secondary burner, uh, which is actually just natural gas aims I guess to finish the job. Maybe yeah, to burn off like any particulate matter in the gas, like if the if the the process didn't the sing gas isn't like pure this This basically burns off particular matter. Or you can scrub it too, And if you're doing all this, you're probably just going to release it rather than try to trap it and use it for combustion if you're gonna scrub it. But you do need to scrub it, especially if you're gonna release in the atmosphere, because it does contain some pretty nasty stuff. Cabium, mercury, a lot of heavy metals, because remember what what this process does. The plasma torch and the gasification process breaks these things down into the their constituent um atoms and molecules and heavy metals and and um some other things are not really good for us, even in their most basic form. For the most part, it's gonna take something that chemically speaking, was once a threat but have been broken down to its separate, innocuous in our components. Some things, even when they're at their most basic level, are still dangerous to It's like cadmium, like mercury, like other heavy metals, and these things do have to be taken out of the slag and or the sing gas and disposed of. The thing is is, if you put a thousand tons of municipal solid waste into one of these furnaces, you're only going to get about twenty tons of that stuff. So so we will still need landfills or something like that, but it will just be for these very um dangerous chemicals are very dangerous, like heavy metals or something like that. But you still got great stuff out of the other nine eight tons. Yeah, exactly. So the byproducts we talked about the sing gash, The slag and the heat are all used or not always used, depends on what you're trying to do with your plant, but they can potentially all be used. And the slag, I think you already said you're getting. So that means the weight of your resulting slag is only of what you started with. So you took that buick, uh, and it now weighs what it formally weighed. Right, you could pick it up if you want. Yeah, maybe so, probably should wait for it to cool down. And the volume is only about five percent of the original waste volume. Uh. And like you said, it looks like volcanic glass. And they can use it in asphalt and concrete. They can pour it directly into molds and make paper stones. And it's all of a sudden, it's a it's a it's something that you would find at your Big Bucks hardware store for your garden, which is pretty amazing. Another um potential creation that you can use slag for is to turn into rock wall. Man, I love this stuff right like, so, as this molten slag is coming out, if you expose it to compressed air blasts, it turns into this thready very light but also very strong wool material like gray cotton candy is how um how Strickland puts it. And there's a lot of uses for it, like you can use in hydroponics. It's a it's a growing medium. Um. You can also use it as insulation. Apparently it has twice the insulating properties of um fibery lass. Amazing. Yeah, it is um and you can also use the clean up oil spills. That says, Yeah, this is the one that really gets me going. It's lighter than water, so you can just throw it on water and it'll sit there and it's super absorbent, so it'll basically what they'll probably do is contain it in something like a tube or something and then just throw that tube in a big circle around an oil spill. It'll float on the water soak up the oil um and then you just go back and scoop up the Rockwell, yeah, I guess. So I had a friend that used to work and um, I need to look that up and him up actually, because I don't know where it went. But they were using banana fibers to do the same thing to clean up oil spills. Didn't we do one on oil spills and like your friend you emailed with them or something like that about it. I don't know, I feel like we did. It seems like the distant past. But here's the cool thing about the the rock will. They currently use it. It's not just something that you can only get as a byproduct of creating the sin gas. It is produced by mining rocks. You melt it down and then spin it sort of like cotton candy, like you said, in a big machine. And here's the cool thing about the gasification though, the way they make the rock will. Now it's about ten cents I'm sorry about a dollar a pound as a byproduct. It could be sold for ten cents a pound. Plus you don't have all of them. The disturbances in the earth of mining rocks turning to rock will. It's a byproduct of garbage that you're burning. That's great, it's amazing. This is like when when when when when wind wind wind, the slag is not leachable. That's another cool thing that I found too. So Strickland specifically said you can't do this with radioactive material. I have seen that you can. Yeah, And what you can do is it'll turn it into the slag. The subsidian glass, and while it's still radioactive, it's not going anywhere. It's not going to leach out into the soil, and it shall. It should be stable like this for thousands of years, conceivably until the radioactivity is not harmful the humans any longer. It would be a really great you can just turn it into these radioactive paver stones that, yeah, that might even glow at night. You'd have a nice little path in your backyard and it'll glow. There's actually glass like that. I can't remember what it's technical term is, but in the mid twentieth century there was a big trend for radio They called it vasoline glass because it glowed about the color of vasoline, which is we heard. But you can find cut glass like ash trays and sculptures that glow, and the reason they glow because they're radioactive. I think, I know what you're talking about, really neat looking. But it's also like, I don't know if that should be in my home. I'd light your own cigarette hold it against All right, Uh, well, let's take another break here and we'll talk about where we are now and where we could be headed with gasification. All right, So here's what I found, and this might not even be current. What I saw was that they're currently eight functioning plasma gasification facilities in the world. That's that sounds about right. One in Taiwan, when in Japan, one in Canada, when in England, one here in the USA. Where's the one in the US? Uh think Vero Beach, Florida. Oh yeah, um, one in India, one in China. And get this one, there's one on an aircraft carrier net that the US is using. The idea is that it's a little small unit that basically just treats the on board waste. So they envisioned the future where like cruise ships have these things and then you just dump all their garbage in the Ocean's exactly. You treat all the waste, and I guess they could even sell by products that they wanted to. Pretty cool. There's one that's supposedly going. I know you saw it was mothballed, right, But there's one that's playing. They have like all the I guess them licenses and certifications that they need to build one in Port St. Lucy, Florida, and it's supposedly it started out um as it was going to take on a thousand tons of garbage a day and put out UM. Third, it was gonna generate sixty seven megawatt hours a day and sell thirty three of that, so it would completely power its own operations and still have thirty three megawatt hours to put out, like to sell back to the grid. It's just more money that this thing is making, right. UM. What I saw is that, and I think it was like two thousand fourteen UM. It said that it was gonna be about six of that, so it would take in about six hundred tons of garbage and generate a total output of twenty two megawatts UM. But yeah, I don't know if it's coming or not. But either way, the thing that got me about this one, chuck was that they planned to not just accept landfill waste, but to go out and mind existing landfills and use those things. It's feed stock. And in fact, there was one in um Uhashinai, Japan that closed down because they ran out of feedstock. They burned through all the garbage. Wow. Yeah, that's pretty great. When you're out of garbage exactly, they have to go get more garbage. We'll stop earlier this year, I think. Um. The world's largest plant. Um is. They said it was near completion in May, so it may be done at this point. But a company called air Products um began processing three and fifty thousand tons at this facility, creating power. Wow. Wait during fifty tons, Yeah, I said enough power for homes and uh, fifty full time jobs, which is not that many, not for that much, but no, which is highly automated, I would guess, yeah, which is sort of good in a way. Um, but I guess you'd want more jobs created to this is sort of a balancing acting cats. Uh. And it cost half a billion million dollars um and that is one of the that's one of the stumbling blocks along the way. Strickland points out that anytime you have a new technology, it's gonna be super expensive to get going. And everyone's dug in on the landfill and how we're doing things now, so it's gonna take a lot. It'll get cheaper over time, like everything else. That's a new new way of doing things. And you also have to win over the establishment with with dollars. You have to show them why it'll be better for them financially. Well. Yeah. Also, if if say a municipality is kind of like, well, we're not gonna close down the landfill, but if you guys want to open one, go ahead. Well, then you have a plasma waste treatment facility and a landfill in direct competition. And if you are their customer, meaning you have some garbage that you want to take, you don't care where your garbage is going, probably you want to go to whoever has the cheaper fees for accepting that garbage. Yeah, because a landfill is kind of an expensive proposition there, tipping fees are going to be high. It's basically the only way they can make money by charging people to deposit their garbage with a plasma waste treatment facility. They're making money all over the place. They're selling slag as paper stuff, they're selling rockwell to clean up oil spills, they're selling electricity back to the grid. So they're making money in all these other ways that can pay for the operation and generate a profit so they could keep their tipping fees low. So if you own a landfill and somebody opens a plasma waste stream of facility in the same city, do you may be in a bit of trouble business wise. Yeah, keep the tipping feel low and uh, and not just people like municipalities will begin using your services ultimately, because I think the one thing that's lacking still is that environmental will. And we're definitely a lot further along than we were when Strickland wrote this article. But I think that that that's one of the things that makes it so attractive is we're gonna earn your garbage and really really green sustainable ways create energy from it. And we're gonna go get your old garbage and burn that too, yeah, and make even more electricity and the plant's gonna power itself with your garbage. It's it's a win win, win, win win. So Strickland interviewed, um he was from Georgia Tech, right, a doctor Cisero. I'm sorry Cerco Cercio. Oh, I thought it was Cistero too. Yeah, it's a mine trick are before see um So, Dr Sercio said he envisions a future where you don't just have like the big municipality plant, like that'd be great and all. Maybe you could bring a plasma torch to a landfill and just bore a hole through it and stick that plasma torch in there, cap it off and start burning that junk from the inside out. Yeah, but I feel like, well, whoa, there could be a coal steam nearby? What about That's what I thought? What about? Like, uh, what Centralia, Pennsylvania. Right, Centralia, Pennsylvania caught fire. There's a combustion fire going on. If any coal steam was exposed to this, it would it would just be decomposed into carbon into its constituents. It wouldn't catch fire. That's nothing to do with this again. So it's actually extremely safe and the landfill itself would act as the furnace. That's amazing, isn't it. Like it's really tough to think of really intense heat without thinking fire. But that that is not where this goes. Yeah uh or Dr Sir Sero Cercio CEO says, hey, why not work together here and bring a plasma converter to another existing traditional facility where they can work hand in hand, like a coal fire power plant. Yeah, I want to. So what this would do is you would just basically stick a plasma facility onto it into the existing infrastructure and just accept garbage in there and burn that and everything, and then the sing gas that's created would be used to help fire the coal fire. Plants. Then it would be used for combustion, right, and you would be using less coal or less fossil fuels to UM do the same thing to create steam to spin the turbine, because ultimately that's what it all comes down to with electricity. So if you have a UM a green way to supplement this stuff, all you're doing is using less fossil fuel too. It's also way cheaper because then you're not having to treat the sin gas, which apparently is half the cost of a plasma treatment facility because these guys have to treat the escaping smoke and everything anyway. So all you're doing is adding actually a cleaner UM, a cleaner fuel into the fire. It's going to ultimately be cleaned down the line. Amazing. And then we talked about UM sort of half joking, but they're serious about decontamination. You know, if you have an outbreak on your farm and you have a bunch of you know, sad, but if you have a bunch of sick, disease dead livestock, just bring out the h the P three thousand, throw those cows in there bing bang boom. Yeah, maybe grind them up first two? Yeah, why not? UM, yeah, and you can do that with soil as well. Contaminated soil. Got an e. Col Ii outbreak in your spinach field? Not anymore? Yeah, a bunch of dirty humans not anymore, storm in their medical waste to bio hazard. Nope, you've got inert stuff. Ye, poopy cruise ship the P three in there at once. I'm kidding about dirty humans. By the way, I didn't even need to say that. I don't think so. Okay, good, I hope not. You never know, buddy. So that is plasma waste tree meant hopefully the wave of the future. Yeah, we should title this something a little sexier so people aren't like, yeah, there's a lot of people, because it should Yeah, because then like even people that are super into like green technologies will probably be like, I want to learn about this weird science thing. Yeah, how about plasma waste treatment? Please listen, Signed Josh and Chuck. Yeah, I like it. It's a little clumsy, will work on it. If you want to know more about plasma treatment facilities or any of that stuff, you can type those words in the search bar at how stuff works dot com. And since Chuck said sexy, it's time for listener mail I'm gonna call this you guys got Africa right. Thank you, Hey, guys, listen to your podcast about female puberty, and it was very impressed with the thoughtfulness and sensitivity in which you explain things and gave advice. Um. By the way, we heard from a lot of people on that, and thank you, a lot of young women, a lot of grown women, a lot of men and dad's uh. And that one meant a lot. It was really good to get that one right. I think, Um. The one thing that we didn't quite get right that someone has pointed out more than a few times is, uh, we said boy crazy a lot, and we should have gone out of our way to say, like, you know, you might also be girl crazy, or you might not have sexual feelings and thoughts. I wish we had that one back. I know. That's you know, I'm giving us a break on that because we people know how we feel about that stuff. We just didn't pointed out as strong as we should have. But that's I mean, that's how things change and improve those you know what we're saying that now, young young ladies out there going through puberty might like other girls. You might not like boys or girls. Uh, And all that's okay too, Yes, all right, thanks for saying that. So back to this, Probably listen to about two hundred or more of your podcasts. Man, you get a long way to go, buddy, uh. And I'm always like, I'm almost a three oh one, yeah, only five after that. I'm always happy to are you guys, are your best to be specific when you make references to events in countries or geographic regions. What I mean by this is you don't generalize like a lot of people do and say crap, like in Africa they blah blah blah, or in Europe it's normal to blah blah blah. When you got to the part of your latest show where you talk about female puberty rights, I was elated to hear you being careful not to say in Ghana, there is a village where dot dot dot. The reason for my reaction is that I've lived in the US for twenty years, but I'm from Ghana. There at least twenty distinct ethnic groups and languages in Ghana alone, and I know for a fact that the ritual you described is not done in all of them. In fact, I've heard of it, but I don't think it happens anymore. By the way, the official language in Ghana is English, so we are able to communicate with each other. Nothing irritates US Africans more than to hear someone started sentence within Africa. I bet it's continent that huge, because no one says well in North America. No that they do say like in the US. But it's a confederation of like associated states in Africa. It's like, yeah, you're you're putting the whole continent and it's all these different countries with all these different cultures. Yeah, it's amazing. So thanks guys for being the thoughtful and professional. Eric from Seattle by way of gone, I guess yeah, thanks a lot er appreciate that. Thank you Greedy.
