Wastepacks do not deteriorate in the atomizer. |

A [[toxifier generator]] produces 6 tiles of ''[[pollution]]'' every 3 days, which is converted into 1 wastepack by a [[pollution pump]]. An atomizer can destroy 6 wastepacks in 3 days, and a pump can convert 2 generators of pollution. Therefore, 1 atomizer ({{P|Power Consumption #}} W) can support 6 generators (+{{Q|Toxifier generator|Power Consumption #}} W) and 3 pumps (-200 W), for a total net [[power]] gain of {{#expr:{{Q|Toxifier generator|Power Consumption #}}*(6)+{{Q|Pollution pump|Power Consumption #}}*(3) + {{P|Power Consumption #}}*(1)}} W. | A [[toxifier generator]] produces 6 tiles of ''[[pollution]]'' every 3 days, which is converted into 1 wastepack by a [[pollution pump]].

This is entirely clean power, though a small area around each generator will be polluted before the pump extracts it. The only work required is hauling the wastepacks to the atomizer. | This is entirely clean power, though a small area around each generator will be polluted before the pump extracts it.

An atomizer will destroy 12 wastepacks in 6 days. The table below shows how many mechanoids a single building will support per 6 day cycle, assuming 100% work uptime. Mechanoids that are idle or dormant wil produce less waste. |
