Plasma Gasification

PLASMA GASIFICATION

Plasma is the fourth state of nature. It is an ionized gas where electrons are flowing freely and imparts positive or negative charges to atoms, making it a highly efficient conductor of electricity and generator of heat. Electricity is fed to a torch, which has two electrodes, creating an arc.

Inert gas is passed through the arc, heating the process gas to internal temperature to 5000-10,000°C.When this arc comes in contact with waste in an oxygen starved environment it dissociates into its basic constituent molecules of CO and H2.

This is called syngas and it has tremendous potential of being channeled. It has a Huge Potential in the area of municipal waste management and plant discharge.

Features of plasma gasification

  • Indigenously developed technology
  • This technology is rare and is with a select few globally
  • The plasma torches which are consumable items and need to be replaced every fortnight, are a fraction of cost of such consumables abroad
  • The emissions of dioxins, neurons, toxins, and furan molecules are a fraction of what is permitted under European and U.S environment protection guidelines
  • There is no residue left for going to landfills and the vitrified slag of between 5-10% which remains is ideal for pavement tiling etc.
  • This technology is much superior also in terms of net energy creation compared to the oft used incineration technology.

    • Advantages-

  • Gasification Technology Performing at Atmospheric Pressure, elevated Temperature and High Plant Availability
  • Capable of Utilizing Integrated Mixed Waste and/or Coal
  • Fines/Waste as Feed
  • Compact and Modular
  • Non-Polluting and Environmentally Safe
  • High Recovery of Clean Renewable Energy as Electricity
  • Economically Competitive
  • Proven Technology

    • Plasma technology has been given to several leading corporates through our principals including TATA Steel/Godrej/ITC/Emerald Jewels etc.
