"Once a 243-megawatt coal-fired power plant, the site was retired by its previous owner in 2013 and decommissioned in June 2014." [dced]

| Metrotrails posted A view from the Pennsylvania Railroad Schuylkill Branch at Poplar Neck near Reading. The Titus Generating Station is here, decommissioned in 2014. There are talks of a new power operation as well as an AI and data center site on the 193 acre site. |

| ReadingEagle Joe D’Ascenzo, shown in the former Titus Generating Station in June 2020, has bought the former coal power plant facility and plans to turn it into a plastic recycling facility that would take trash and turn it into plastic pellets. [This web page has 11 more photos of the plant.] |
"ReFined Plastics uses a process called pyrolysis, which is high heat without oxygen to break down waste. It is has been a mechanism to turn plastic waste into jet fuel. The pellets would be virgin grade, meaning they are a quality that could be used by a variety of plastic manufacturers. The material won't originate in the recycle bin but will come from household trash." [yahoo]
I encountered the term "pyrolysis" just a few hours before in a proposal to make graphite and hydrogen from coal.
