plasma gasification is in commercial use as a waste-to-energy system that converts municipal solid waste (msw), tires, hazardous waste, and sewage sludge into synthesis gas (syngas) containing hydrogen and carbon monoxide that can be used to generate power. municipal-scale waste disposal plasma arc facilities have been in operation.

generation of syngas through plasma gasification is ideal for the treatment of:

·         plastic waste

·         hospital waste

·         municipal solid waste

·         tannery waste

·         wood and paper waste

·         organic waste

·         oil sludge & tar

·         coal fines

·         hotel waste

·         colony waste

·         any other carbonaceous waste

it is suitable for use as a fuel gas for turbines or gas engines.

total replacement of petroleum fuel for the net energy output

the slag is usable as aggregate, rock-wool, etc.

large volume reduction, the slag is 1/250th of the volume of the processed solid waste.

no harmful emission or leachate

as plasma converted gas can be combusted in gas turbines, higher conversion efficiencies can be achieved. although the conversion efficiency cannot meet that of a combined cycle plant, because power has to be fed back to the gasifier, conversion efficiency will normally be greater than for a utility boiler system.
