B.  NO SORTING, PROCESSING OR DRYING OF WASTE:

There is no pre-sorting, separation or processing of waste is required or necessary prior to the waste treatment/recycling by a PPV unit.Consequently, there are no costs for equipment, personnel and materials that are associated with such preparation such as in the case of incinerators.  Furthermore, Plasma arc heating can dispose of waste with high moisture content (up to 60%) such as waste from tropical countries during the rainy season, which would normally not burn in regular incinerators. Obviously, each PPV system has to be specially designed to accommodate the clients waste stream composition. Altering the waste composition of the feed material would require changes in the feed handling system as well as the emission control system.

C. TREATMENT OF ALL WASTE STREAMS FROM ALL WASTE SOURCES:

With the exception of high-level nuclear waste, the waste system can process all types of wastes.  This includes MSW, hospital wastes, industrial toxic chemical solvents, heavy metals, fly ash, incinerator ash, asbestos  fibers, sewage sludge, etc., and also low-level nuclear waste. This compares much more favorably than landfills, which can take only MSW.

All the different waste streams (except for radioactive waste) can be mixed with the MSW prior to being fed into the PPV reactors without the need for separation, sorting or processing.

D. COMPLETE RESOURCE RECOVERY:

As discussed above, the Plasma waste system provides two methods of resource recovery, either of which greatly enhances the financial viability of the system:

a.Energy can be extracted in two different ways from the organic hydrocarbon)

components of such wastes, which otherwise is un- recovered under the traditional

forms of waste disposal such as land filling or poorly recovered through incineration.Utilizing the PPV systems, the hydrocarbons/organic materials are pyrolyzed into a fuel laden gas which in turn can be converted into electric power utilizing a standard or combined cycle gas turbine; alternatively the fuel gas can be converted into methanol fueled for resale, utilizing a catalytic reactor. Both product, electric power and methanol fuel, are in high demand, worldwide!

b.Inorganic materials in the waste such as metals, rocks, dirt, vinyl, etc are vitrified

  by the Plasma PPV system into an inert glassy slag: that can substitute for concrete

 aggregates that otherwise are extracted by quarrying, which degrades the

  environment.  Other uses for the slag includes cement mix, brick making, road beds,

 or as done by the Japanese, molded into tiles or garden furniture.

PLASMA  TORCH

HOW CAN PPV SOLVE THE COMMON WASTE DISPOSAL PROBLEMS TODAY?

Volume reduction of over 95% is achieved.

Ultra-high process temperature assure efficient energy recovery and no ash produced.

Energy recovery can off-set treatment cost.

Reduce post volume reduction disposal.

Reduced off-gas volumes compared to current method (i.e. incineration ).

DEMONSTRATED APPLICATIONS OF PLASMA PYROLYSIS-VITRIFICATION

(PPV) TECHNOLOGY

Over the years, PPV was tested by the Regulatory Agency (EPA) for waste recycling and much data exists. The results are very interesting .

The emission data from PPV surpasses EPA emission standards

No Ash or harmful solid are formed

 Tests by others confirm our early results

99%+ of harmful gas emissions are removed.

 Liability removed.

SUMMARY

In summary, PlasMARRC®, takes great pride in providing information and services we stand prepared to implement, based on current existing retrievable data.  Our unique holistic approach to the remediation through to maintenance of your environmental concerns, moving forward to economic development should prove most inviting to your communities.

The ability of our technology to generate temperatures in excess of 5,000 - 7,000  degrees C enables  prolysis at the molecular level of compounds (organic and inorganic) to be reduced to two by- products; gases that can be converted to energy at a gain over cost of operations, and solid inert slag or glass which can be sold or utilized for several industrial applications.

The applications of our Plasma Pyrolysis Units have thoroughly tested and proven most proficient, in the separation / remediation /destruction of the following materials:

>Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) - {food matters, articles of clothing, food containers, small items of furniture, toys, plastics, baby diapers, etc.}

>Industrial Waste (IW) - {automotive fluids, cleansers, fertilizers, flares, fluorescent lamps & mercury containing devices, fungicides, herbicides, household batteries, latex based paints, paint removes & thinners, pesticides, pool chemicals, solvents, wood preservatives, camcorders, cd rom's, cpu's, floppy drives, hard drives, interfaces, keyboards, microwaves, monitors, plotters, power supplies, printers, radios, stereos, tape drives, telephones, televisions, vcr's, automotive batteries, timed-out munitions, fire extinguishers, gas cylinders, smoke detectors, tires, asbestos, fly ash, used oils, PCB's, Dioxins, DDT, etc.}

>Bio-Medical Waste/ Biological - Infectious Waste - (BMW/BIW) - (collections of needles, clothing, gloves, bedding, infectious body fluids, pathological waste, low level radio active waste from hospitals, medical clinics, laboratories/radiotherapy, mortuaries, etc.}

>Mining Waste / Red Mud Pond (MW) - {remediation of residue from settlement ponds}

>Existing Landfills - {remediation of contaminated soil}

>Shipboard Waste Remediation

In addition to the PPV treatment processing of the above, we are prepared to augment those processes by:

>Sewage Waste/Sewer Sludge/ Water Treatment Operation

>Partnerships with existing site specific Industrial Companies to expand their export potentials

>Development of a training model through a joint venture with Universities to prepare newly skilled environmental professional work force matrix.
