Plasma Gasification turns trash into clean energy

















Startech Environmental is an environment and energy
industry company engaged in the production and sale
of its innovative, proprietary plasma processing
equipment known as the Plasma Converter System(TM).

The Plasma Converter System safely and economically
destroys wastes, no matter how hazardous or lethal,
and turns most into useful and valuable products.
In doing so, the System protects the environment
and helps to improve the public health and safety
The System achieves closed-loop elemental recycling
to safely and irreversibly destroy Municipal Solid
Waste, organics and inorganics, solids, liquids and
gases, hazardous and non- hazardous waste, industrial
by-products and also items such as "e-waste," medical
waste, chemical industry waste and other specialty
wastes while converting many of them into useful
commodity products that can include metals and
a synthesis-gas called Plasma Converted Gas (PCG)(TM).

Among the many commercial uses for PCG, is its use to
produce "green electrical power," Gas-To-Liquid (GTL)
fuels such as ethanol, synthetic diesel fuel and other
higher alcohol "alternative" fuels. Hydrogen, for use
and sale, can also be separated and recovered from the
PCG synthesis gas mixture. The Startech Plasma Converter
is essentially a manufacturing system producing commodity
products from feedstocks that were previously regarded as
wastes.Startech regards all wastes, hazardous and
non-hazardous,as valuable renewable resources.
Popular Science Magazine, in its March '07 produced
a 9-page, well-illustrated feature article on the
Startech Plasma Converter as the "Miracle Energy Machine
-- How to Turn Toxic Waste into Clean Power."
