The Benefits for Your Community

The PWR process uses high-temperature thermal plasma to convert MSW to syngas, molten metal, and vitreous slag. Because there is no ash, the need for landfills is reduced. Air emissions are less than the combustion of natural gas, and are easily within EPA standards. The syngas is used to generate electricity which is sold to the power grid. The molten metal is cast as scrap steel and sold to steel mills. The slag is cast as building material aggregate or spun into mineral wool. Unlike an incinerator that burns MSW creating pollutants and ash, the PWR process involves extremely high temperatures in a sealed vessel under negative pressure with no combustion and no ash.

Plasma gasification of MSW creates clean communities.
