Plasma Arc Technology



A technology that like Arc welding using 2 electrode to generate electricity for dissociating the waste. Plasma is a highly ionized gas. The high-energy arc creates high temperatures ranging from 3,000 degrees to 7,000 degrees Celsius. The plasma arc is enclosed in a chamber. Waste material is fed into the chamber and the intense heat of the plasma breaks down
organic molecules (such as oil, solvents, and paint) into their elemental atoms. In a carefully controlled process, these atoms recombine into harmless gases such as carbon dioxide. Solids such as glass and metals are melted to form materials, similar to hardened lava, in which toxic metals are encapsulated. With plasma arc technology there is no burning or incineration and no formation of ash. There are two main types of plasma arc processes: plasma arc (or DC) melter and plasma torch.
