All of this improperly processed waste contaminates the drinking water of millions of people in communities around the globe.
Measuring about 75 feet (23 meters) long and 26 feet (8 m) across, this small processing plant can handle about 14 tons of waste every day.
The solid waste is dumped into an incinerator, which burns up the rest of the waste,
creating a good deal of heat. This heat, in turn, is funneled through a steam engine, which produces high-temperature steam that fuels a generator.
