This is the process the occurs in the
TGE PlasmaPower™ Facility to produce GreenEnergy™
Feedstocks (waste products of various types: tires, expired
prescriptions, plastics, industrial waste, non-recycled municipal
solid waste, agricultural waste, etc.) are fed into the system. About
1/3 of the total energy content of the feedstock is used to power the
plasma arc vessel. The other 2/3 of the energy is available as power
and fuel for useful applications.
Plasma energy, at about 5,500 degree centigrade, in an oxygen starved
environment, transforms the feedstocks into hydrogen-rich syngas and
liquid melt that cools into solid products. These are GreenEnergy™,
GreenGlass™, GreenSteel™.
GreenEnergy™ can be sold as a supplement to natural gas, electrical
power or ultra-clean liquid fuels. GreenGlass™ is a building material
used as quality insulation and fire proofing. One of the many
applications of GreenGlass™ is "rock wool". To the right is rock wool
pipe covering being applied to a steel pipe for a fire test resulting
in a 2 hour fire-resistance rating/certification listing for a
firestop system. GreenSteel™ is like any other steel, with all the
same qualities of steel, except this steel is recovered from waste and
recycled for use instead of being discarded in a landfill.
Impurities in the sygas are recovered or recycled. Some go back
through the plasma arc vessel, while others such as sulfur are
captured and sold to industry. You can see the great value of sulfur
here in this article by Chris Mayer, editor, Capital & Crisis May 29,
2008: “In short, demand is swamping supply. Sulfuric acid prices in
March 2008 hit a record high of $329 per ton, according to
Purchasingdata.com, after trading at $90 per ton as recently as
October 2007.
Synthesis gas fuel production in the GreenEnergy™ syngas generator
minimizes emissions and can be permitted as a minor emissions source.
“One technology which potentially can use various types of waste,
produce electricity and hydrogen without emitting dioxin, furan and
mercury, is plasma arc technology. Municipalities can install a plasma
arc facility which will eliminate land filling…“ - US Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA)
