CWT is real, and their project at the Butterball Turkey plant in Carthage, MO has been running for many months now. It was featured in an issue of one of the recycling trade rags last year. Basically, it is a high temperature, high pressure depolymerization process, akin to crude oil refining. Visit http://www.changingworldtech.com/ for more info. A Google search will bring up plenty of opinions on the matter, including one from mindfully.org that dismisses the process as incineration in disguise. They fail to provide any supporting documentation that the use of turkey-derived oils will release anywhere near the toxins suspected to be released during the incineration of poultry litter. http://www.mindfully.org/Air/2003/Burn-Turkey-Waste-Energy16may03.htm Biodiesel from turkey fat can be a legitimate ingredient in creating a modern society that more closely resembles something sustainable. Dismissing all forms of energy recovery from waste without a more careful examination of each case does not serve the environmental cause well. Jay Donnaway Atlanta, Ga |
