Delta Thermo Energy CEO Rob Van Naarden said in a public meeting this week that his company owned and ran waste processing plants near Williamsport, PA, and Atlantic City, NJ. But no records about an operation in or near Williamsport exist, and the Atlantic City operation was a small-scale pilot project that ended in 2013. In addition, Van Naarden said his company’s technology doesn’t involve burning trash to create electricity, even though the process Delta Thermo lists on its website involves mixing wastewater sludge with household trash and burning the mixture to produce electricity. Also, Delta Thermo has listed technical advisers on its website without their knowledge or permission and claimed to have developed a waste processing plant in Shari, Japan. An official said Delta Thermo was not involved in the company’s Japanese operations.
