No, SlurryCarb's About as Far From a Nutrition Bar as You Can Get …
“Time to pay the electric bill” may soon supplant “I’m going to see a man about a horse” as the most popular bathroom-break euphemism–in Los Angeles County, anyway. Working with a group of SoCal sanitation districts, EnerTech Environmental is building the country’s first commercial biomass-to-energy plant. Once finished, the facility will convert 675 wet tons of biosolids (processed municipal-sewage sludge) a day from five municipalities in the Los Angeles region into approximately 145 tons of renewable fuel. How? Why, with “SlurryCarb,” of course. Developed by EnerTech, SlurryCarb chemically converts municipal-sewage sludge and other organic wastes into a high-energy liquid fuel that, when burned, generates emissions well below EPA air standards, even without the use of pollution-control systems. Sounds like a compelling solution for our current waste-disposal problems and perhaps even an Inconvenient Truth or two.
