Startech is the only publicly traded waste-to-energy plasma arc technology company in the world. They presently have three 5 ton/day installations in operation, with a number of other plants in various stages of implementation. A 200 ton/day plant being built by Startech in Panama will be the largest such plant in the world, and will convert ordinary garbage into hydrogen that can be used in fuel cells to generate electricity or directly as a fuel for combustion. The Panama plant is expected to be operational in 2008. "Waste is not garbage, but a commercially valuable, renewable resource." (StarTech Promotional Video.)
What is Plasma?
Plasma is simply a gas (air) that the Converter ionizes so it becomes an effective electrical conductor and produces a lightning-like arc of electricity that is the source of the intense energy transferred to the waste material as radiant energy. The arc in the plasma plume within the vessel can be as high as 30,000 degrees Fahrenheit ... three times hotter than the surface of the Sun. When waste materials are subjected to the intensity of the energy transfer within the vessel, the excitation of the wastes' molecular bonds is so great that the waste materials' molecules break apart into their elemental components (atoms). It is the absorption of this energy by the waste material that forces the waste destruction and elemental dissociation. The Plasma Converter is computer controlled, easy to use and operates at normal atmospheric pressure, very safely and quietly.

Kotesu , the last reply was for you , Will write but after a year , hope you remember this one , Old Technology . You can not store CO2 , these idiots want to store it in the Oceans that are sucking up CO2 Causing Ocean Acidification . , can not pout links in so Google this lake-emits-carbon-dioxide-bubb le-kills-1800-people/ That was a remote area , think about the entire West Cost ! Realistically this could happen at thew rate we are going .
Cool someone with snap , this old tech has been around , we have the next generation ready to go , site is old and have come along way since , Pure Power Inc , James Tracy easy with one simple Google search .We break down CO2 at the molecular level , use garbage as fuel to create energy . We capture all Pollutants , Mercury , all heavy metals , arsenic , etc. Grants have been our Problem , seems CO2 Tax is needed , Even with Dr, Curto NASA Chief Technologist , just retired 16 years our CEO
See the latest Tech , Pure Power Inc , James Tracy . This new Tech with Patent breaks down CO2 at the molecular level . This Old Tech still works but nothing in comparison the the new Tech , new tech can be retrofitted , breaking down all CO2 , creating nitrous Oxide and Hydrogen that can be pumped back into the trash making the fire hotter and more efficient . with our completely different form of Plasma , our Plasma would feed off this garbage making electricity .
i say fuck the commercial attributes of this system!it works and it recycles our trass into energy...if our leaders were smarter everyone would have one of these...lets hope they will get them operational within our lifetime...and u can use the hydrogen to fuel the plasma torch so it wont use any energy!!!thats 100% efficiency!!!
treue you're retarted. This is a a pretty new idea. Look how long its taking to put into place energy efficient energy technologies that have been around for almost a century?
If this magic box really worked everyone would have them...for example look at Europe they have hundreds of waste to energy combustion facilities and zero of the pyrolesis/gasification machine, why? Because it does not work on a commercial level
OK another thing, "the japanese are grinding the slag to make tiles for roads". Doesnt grinding the slag release the toxins back to the air? I think the slag should be poured directly into brick molds so they can be used directly and not have to be reprocessed. just my 0.02$
