Plasma Arc Waste Disposal

Startech Environmental Corp.

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.

No it cannot process nuclear waste but just abot everything else!

[PsionNinja]

Who knew that a strong electrical arc would be so useful?

[acidbath32]

@PatrikMacGoohan haha huge tax return from huge energy consumption!

[acidbath32]

were going back to the future!

[Lenangreal]

@CaptainSpork7 yeah

[Lenangreal]

@LibertyJewel bullshit, the plasma waste disposal doesnt have chimneys

[Betli101]

Trust the white man.

[plazmatyk]

@PsionNinja Nikola Tesla, for example :P

[TheButtplug76]

The hydrogen actually powers the plant so it only emits water

[LibertyJewel]

Lies, Lies, Lies. It's an incinerator that releases toxic chemicals into the atmosphere.

Read the 10q detective's report on this company, it's officers and their technology. This is bullshit. You don't heat huge mountains of trash to 30,000 degrees fahrenheit without using a vast amount of energy. You do not create more energy than you use.

Also, nice pixely video you got there from a "high tech" company.
