Coincidentally, from Hennepin County Commissioner Peter McLaughlin's latest e-memo to constituents:
Testing New Technology to Clean Up Garbage Incinerator Hennepin County will work with Bloomington-based EnviroScrub Technologies to reduce further the amount of air pollutants emitted by the Hennepin Energy Resources Company (HERC) garbage incinerator. The incinerator turns 365,000 tons of garbage a year into electricity that is sold to Xcel Energy for use in this market. EnviroScrub Technologies has developed a new technology called the Pahlman process that is able to capture three major air pollutants created by coal-fired power plants. Hennepin County and EnvirorScrub will test this technology on the garbage incinerator over the next year before getting a comprehensive report on the effectiveness of the process in early 2005.
