PEAT Commissions Plasma Thermal Waste-to-Energy System in China
PEAT International Inc.,, Northbrook, Ill., a developer of plasma-thermal waste destruction systems, has
successfully commissioned a Plasma Thermal Destruction and Recovery (PTDR) system in Shanghai,
China. The 132 pound (60 kilogram) per hour system - designed for medical waste and oil refinery sludge
- was installed for Abada Plasma Technology Holdings Ltd. - an Asia-based renewable energy project
developer.
PEAT's PTDR single stage plasma-thermal process transforms hazardous waste through molecular
dissociation at 2,732 degrees Fahrenheit (1,500 degrees Celsius) into recoverable, nontoxic endproducts, synthetic gas and heat (sources for energy recovery), metals and a vitrified glass matrix.
Emissions are below the most stringent environmental standards used anywhere, according to the
company.
"This is end-stage technology. Only with plasma can you achieve temperatures high enough for waste
destruction in a single-staged
