Yes. Certain components of the plant, such as the gasification chambers, have been in use for hundreds of years. Other components, such as plasma torches and the technologies for syngas cleaning, electric power generation and air pollution control are also very well established. The use of these technologies to convert large quantities of municipal waste into usable byproducts has been in use for the past six years.
