An arsenal of state-of-the-art air-pollution-control equipment and demonstration of a 1,300-psig steam cycle characterize this facility, which efficiently produces clean power from trash. A successful waste-to-energy (WTE) project has been completely redefined in this ``not-in-my-backyard`` era. This new definition of success is no longer limited to achieving desired performance, capacity, availability, and profitability goals. According to William Taylor, plant manager, a successful project must also meet the nebulous requirement of ``being a good neighbor,`` which is often the more difficult challenge to meet.
