<p style='margin-left:.5in'><b><span style='font-size:16.0pt;color:#000066'>Pyrolysis
is the thermal disintegration of carbonaceous material into fragments of
compounds in an oxygen-starved environment. Plasma pyrolysis (also called
plasma gasification) exploits the thermochemical properties of plasma. The
particle kinetic energy in the form of heat is used for decomposing chemicals.
In addition, the presence of charged and excited species renders the plasma
environment highly reactive which can catalyses homogeneous and heterogeneous
chemical reactions.</span></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='margin-left:.5in'><b><span style='font-size:16.0pt;color:#000066'>When
the process is optimised, the most likely compounds to form from carbonaceous
matter are methane, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, carbon dioxide and water
molecules. The high temperature and high enthalpy inhibits the formation of
hydrocarbons. Plasma process has option of selecting the gas medium, which
helps in changing the by-products. High temperature reduces the required
residence time for pyrolysis.</span></b><o:p></o:p></p>

N.J., March 25 /PRNewswire/ -- To reduce pharmaceutical pollutants being
discharged into the nation's waterways, Covanta Energy is launching an
important collaboration with municipalities. As more and more communities
establish collection centers for unwanted medications, Covanta will offer, for
2010, a free disposal and destruction service designed to keep these products

Energy, a world leader in the development, ownership and operation of

rolling out a national program to process pharmaceuticals collected by local

safe and proper way to dispose of unwanted medications, including prescription
drugs, over-the-counter and veterinary medications and nutritional supplements.
When flushed down the drain, or disposed of in landfills, such products
contaminate surface waters and have an adverse effect on the environment.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
