Some companies focus on processing municipal solid waste (MSW) via plasma-arc plasma gasification. In this application, MSW is generally shredded, then fed into the plasma-arc plasma gasification reactor with very limited and calculated volumes of oxygen or air.

PEAT designed, built, operated and maintained a 150 kW pilot plasma gasification system previously located at a facility in Huntsville, Alabama since 1992. The plasma gasification system was able to process 50 to 100 KGs per hour of test materials, depending on the material characteristics.

PEAT's plasma heating systems convert electrical energy into thermal energy. Controlled plasma arcs are generated when a steady flow of gas is forced between electrodes with a high electrical current flowing between these electrodes. This now ionized gas generates an intense heat in the form of a plasma arc column or "plume".

PTDR waste-to-energy technology offers benefits in reducing generation of greenhouse gases and thus potentially generates carbon credits. They are GHG emission reductions that are created when a project reduces or avoids the emissions of GHGs.

PEAT's environmentally benign PTDR waste-to-energy technology produces the following three end-products from processing waste feedstocks: A clean synthetic gas ("syngas") that is a valuable source of alternative energy (Approximate heat value: 8 to 10 MJ/Nm3 (225 MMBTU/SCF); An inert vitrified glass that has excellent applications in the construction industry, including: Concrete Aggregate Road Bed/fill Sandblasting Recovered metal alloys

PEAT's PTDR-500 waste-to-energy system is an ideal, turn-key solution for industrial facilities. The PTDR-500 system provides a permanent, fully self-contained platform for facilities seeking an efficient, environmental and economical terminal chemical waste and hazardous waste treatment and disposal solution.
