Plasma, its role in Waste Processing: a Decision Maker's Guide
NEW February, 2010
Completely revised and updated second edition of this popular report
Five completely new sections
Over 20 additional pages (now 70 pages in length)
Management Briefing
This updated report is a comprehensive overview of the role that plasma technologies can play in waste processing.
The report examines whether or not plasma processes can meet market expectations; assesses the technology; considers the business potential; and provides an objective up-to-date assessment of the capabilities of plasma waste processing.
What’s in the Briefing?
This is the most comprehensive overview available of plasma technology in the public domain. It analyses the current status of the technology and examines the issues which would be of most interest to potential customers. It includes the following:
- Lists the main plasma companies
- Provides a simple guide to plasma for waste treatment
- Explains the four main types of plasma process: plasma pyrolysis; plasma combustion; plasma vitrification and plasma gasification.
- Gives the advantages and disadvantages of plasma processes, with a comparison to other more established waste processing technologies
- Compares the proveness of plasma against other thermal waste technologies for solid waste
Examples of specific potential issues identified and discussed within the report include:
- Are plasma technologies proven?
- What is the energy recovery potential of a plasma system?
- Are plasma technologies economically viable?
- Are the outputs valuable resources or secondary wastes?
- Are all plasma outputs marketable?
- Does plasma generate lower emissions than other waste processing technologies?
