How much syngas can a ton of garbage
produce?
The organic content of average municipal solid waste will dissociate
or thermally depolymerise into 30,000 to 33,000 cubic feet of
synthesis gas per ton, having an energy value of 300 Btu per
standard cubic foot of gas. Go Top
What emissions are released in the
Plasma Arc Reactor process?
Plasma Arc technology is a zero emissions process. Go Top
What is
plasma Arc?
Plasma arc is
a sustained” lighting bolt” that creates extreme heat. When a feedstock comes in contact with the “lightning bolt”
the material disassociates or breaks down to base elements. We use
Reactors that are devoid of oxygen so no incineration takes place.
The elements that compose the feedstock break apart from each other
in the intense heat and are collected for reuse to create different new compounds. Go Top
What is
plasma?
Plasma is an
ionized gas that is conditioned to respond to electromagnetic
forces. The plasma arc
is created when a voltage is established between two points. The plasma acts as a resistive heating element and as a
resistive hearing element it presents a distinct advantage over any
solid heating element as plasma is a gas and cannot melt or fail. The plasma arc creates a “flame” that has temperatures
ranging from 4,000 to 7,000 ºC, which is hotter than the surface of
the sun. Go Top
Do
plants meet EPA standards?
Yes. We are a totally self contained
system with basically no emissions .We meet standards set to 2050. Go Top
How does this system compare to Atmospheric (Hybrid) gasifier?
A Gasifier typically has a smokestack
and produces CO2, CO, N2, NO2, Sox, SO2, NOx, Mercury discharges,
etc. Ours has no smokestacks and has zero emissions.

How much
waste do some cities produce?
US Coastal/ Water Cities (NYC 36.200 Tons Per
Day, Los Angeles 12MMT, Boston 6MMT , Chicago 6 MMT, Canada Border
(Toronto 8MMT) or Canada, Detroit 4MMT, Miami, New Orleans, Houston, Galveston , Seattle 6MMT, Atlanta , New
Jersey, San Diego, St Louis, San Francisco 8MMT, Portland 5MMT.

What
municipal solid wastes (MSW) can you dispose?
Basically any
carbon based material. Municipal Waste in landfills, Sewage Waste,
Petroleum sludge, industrial waste, Bio Hazardous (Hospital Waste,
Vaccines, Chemical Warfare toxins), PCB’s, Asbestos, Mattresses,
Refrigerators, Tires, Vinyl out of Car and computer industries,
Computer Waste- Boards and Vinyl), E-Waste. All waste with exception
of Nuclear Fuel Rods over grade 5. Go Top
What are
the By products of MSW conversion?
SynGas, Gasoline (Hi Octane 107 to 125),Naphtha, Jet Fuel and Diesel 0%,
CO2, Rockwell-slag, Recycled metals (au, silver nickel copper
pig iron, mercury), Nitrogen, Heat/Electricity. Go Top
What are
other non MSW Feed Stocks?
Crude oil, high sulfur coal, sand tar,
oil shale. These would be used in refinery process to create syngas,
hi octane gasoline, naphtha, jet fuel and diesel 0. Go Top
What is E Waste?
E-waste is a popular, informal name for electronic products nearing
the end of their "useful life." Computers, televisions, VCRs,
stereos, copiers, and fax machines are common electronic products.
Many of these products can be reused, refurbished, or
recycled. Unfortunately, electronic discards is one of the fastest
growing segments of our nation's waste stream.

What
state or form can you take in feed stocks?
Solid, liquid or gas. Go Top
What
size are plants?
MSW Plants are scalable to meet needs but 4000
Metric tons per day plant is good for MSW or landfill. Specialty plants can be size down to 5 metric tons per day.
IF using technology to build a refinery size goes upwards of 33,
0000 metric tons per day or the equivalent of 250,000 barrels. Go Top
How many
MSW plants do we need in US?
220 Go Top
How many
MSW plants do we need worldwide?
1500 Go Top
How can
this technology be applied?
Applications are:
- New emission free refineries that use coal
(even hi sulfur), crude, sand tar or oil shale as its feedstock
to produce petroleum products making us independent of foreign
oil.
- New emission free electricity production
that can use high sulfur coal as feedstock.
- Conversion of old refineries to meet new
EPA requirements.
- Destruction of Asbestos, toxic wastes,
industrial waste and petroleum sludge that is being stored and
is leaching into our water supply.
- Landfill clean up and a clean alternative
for landfills. Our waste could generate enough gasoline to make
us independent of foreign supplies.
- Clean up water supplies that are
contaminated. Go Top
What is Syngas?
Syngas or SynGas are acronyms for Synthetic Gas.
Syngas which is produced from the gasification of coal or other
feedstock is basically CO and H2. In general, the higher the CO
ratio, higher is the BTU content which is important for burning
syngas in gas-turbines or in boilers. The following is a short list
of products directly derived from syngas: Ammonia, Urea, Methanol,
Diesel, Ammonium Sulfate, Hydrogen,
Dimethyl Ether Ethanol,
various Oxochemicals used in paint manufacture such as Butyraldehyde, Butanol, 2-Ethylhexanol, Di-octyl-phthalate and Carboxylic Acids.

How much hazardous waste do Americans generate?
Americans generate an average of 1.6 million tons of household
hazardous waste a year. This
may include such things as paint, stains, varnish, car batteries,
and cleaning solvents. Consequently included in municipal solid
waste may be toxic contaminants from such things as cleansing
detergents. Additionally, solid waste spills negatively impact
global warming as well.

How much MSW does the
US
generate?
The present rate of generation of MSW in the
U.S.
is estimated at about 220 million tons, i.e. about 0.8 tons per
capita.

What is pyrolysis?
Heating material in a controlled atmosphere in which there is not
enough oxygen to initiate burning. The process produces gases that
can be used as fuel. Two, the by-products of pyrolysis (hydrogen,
carbon and carbon monoxide) are different from the products of
combustion (carbon dioxide and water) and offers options for
chemical energy recovery that combustion and incineration do not.
