The Process
Gasification and Plasma Conversion that turns your waste into clean, renewable, local energy.
The Gasplasma Process is an Advanced Conversion Technology (ACT) that converts waste feedstock into a clean hydrogen-rich syngas and a vitrified recyclate called Plasmarok® that can be used as a building material or replacement aggregate.
It's a four stage process:
1) all recyclable materials are removed in a front-end fuel preparation and Materials Recycling Facility (MRF), separating glass, metals, hard plastics and oversized objects - all things which have a recyclable value and market
2) the pre-treated waste feedstock is gasified in a fluidised bed gasifier, producing solid chars and ash in addition to a synthetic gas (syngas), which at this stage still contains tars and soot
3) a plasma converter is used to crack the impurities in the syngas and ‘polish' it whilst simultaneously vitrifying the ash and inorganic fraction from the gasifier to form Plasmarok®
4) the resulting clean syngas is used to power gas engines generating secure, clean, local heat and power
The Gasplasma® process produces little to no polluting gases or emissions and almost nothing is left - around 2% of input volumes - for landfill.
