Total Waste Per Day In Tons * $125,000 (Estimated Cost Per Ton For Plasma Waste Converter) = (Estimated Cost For Plasma Converter To Accommodate City Waste)

Example: City Population 66,000

66,000 * 4.4 = 290,400 (Pounds Waste Per Day)

290,400 ÷ 2,000 = 145.2 (Tons Waste Per Day)

145.2 * $125,000 (Estimated Cost To Process A Ton Based On 250,000,000 ÷ 2,000) = $18,150,000 (Estimated Cost Of Plasma Waste Converter To Accommodate A City Of 66,000)

"2,000 tons of waste per day that would otherwise have been sunk into a landfill.

At a price of $250 million"

"Startech machine that costs roughly $250 million could handle 2,000 tons of waste daily"

"$250-million converter could pay for itself in about 10 years, and that's without factoring in the money made from selling the excess electricity and syngas."

$250,000,000 (Cost Of A 2,000 Ton Per Day Plasma Waste Converter) ÷ 2,000 (Pounds In A Ton) = $125,000 Per Ton Estimated

$125,000 (Estimated Cost Per Ton) ÷ 2,000 = $62.5 (Per Pound Estimate)
