Our proprietary thermal process known as Plasmafication™ uses high temperature ionized gas, known as a plasma field, to de-molecularize matter at an atomic level by stripping molecules of their electrons through the use of a plasma arc. This process is not incineration, since combustion, the essence of incineration, does not occur inside the plasma converter. There is simply no combustion. The process instead occurs in an oxygen deprived vacuum chamber. Hence, without oxygen, incineration or the burning of a particulate material does not occur. Instead, a “thermal cracking” of the molecules ensues. Basically, “thermal cracking” converts a waste waste-stream to a gas in a fraction of a second in the vacuum-based plasma system. Molecules are immediately “cracked” into their elemental states going from a solid directly to a gaseous form without the chemical burning process ever taking place. The thermal resonance reactor that plasmafies waste material does not perform “combustion,” but rather that of a distinctly well defined separate and unique process known as “gasification.” The most common gaseous by-products of the process (hydrogen, carbon and carbon monoxide) are different from the most common gaseous products of combustion (carbon dioxide). The Plasmafication™ process prevents the production of dioxins and furans since the high temperatures (1,200°F to over 10,000°F) in the plasma arc chamber minimizes the presence of Chlorine, converting it into HCl which can be safely removed by the system’s acid scrubbers. Materials processed in atmospherically controlled reactors with plasma technology readily pass all standard U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) leaching tests.
