Sci-tech Information

A plasma gasification melting (PGM) technology has been developed to transform waste into synthesis gas and products suitable for construction materials. The core of the technology was developed at the Kurchatov Institute in Russia and has been used for more than a decade for the treatment of low and intermediate level radioactive waste in Russia. It is applicable to municipal solid waste (MSW), municipal effluent sludge, industrial waste and medical waste

Plasma gasification is a process which converts organic matter into synthetic gas, electricity, and slag using plasma. Inside the gasifier, the hot gases from the plasma torch or arc contact the feedstock,...
