Gasplasma® energy from waste technology works with a wide range of waste streams including:
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) which includes household waste is the residual waste put into a black bin bag or wheelie bin.
MSW contains a mixture of recyclable, organic and biodegradable materials.
We recover as many recyclable materials as possible before drying and shredding the remainder to make a Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF).
Our energy from waste process, Gasplasma®, transforms the RDF into a pure hydrogen-rich synthesis gas (syngas).
We use this syngas to power gas engines or turbines to generate clean, renewable power and heat.
A standard Gasplasma® energy from waste plant can process 150,000 tonnes of MSW / 90,000 tonnes of RDF per year.

Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) is a fuel prepared from waste.
A full-scale Gasplasma® plant can make its own RDF from MSW/Commercial Waste. The waste is brought directly into a fuel preparation hall at the front of the building.
Inside the fuel preparation hall there is industry standard equipment that can recover glass, metals and hard plastics from the wastes for recycling.
The remaining waste is then dried and shredded to make a Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) for the Gasplasma® energy from waste process.
Clients who already produce RDF may not require a fuel preparation hall. APP can design a plant without this facility, accepting the RDF directly from the client.
Secondary Recovered Fuel or Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) is often confused with Refuse Derived Fuel because they are similar in nature. However, SRF is produced to reach a clearly defined standard such as CEN/343 ANAS whereas RDF is not.
The Gasplasma® energy from waste plant is able to accept both RDF and SRF.
Commercial waste is similar to Municipal Solid Waste although it tends to have more biodegradable products.
Commercial waste is defined as all wastes created by commercial businesses. This can include, but is not necessarily limited to, solid or liquid wastes originating from:
We receive Commercial waste into the Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) at the front end of the Gasplasma® energy from waste plant.
Any recyclable materials are recovered and the remainder is dried and shredded to make Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF).
The RDF is used as fuel in the Gasplasma® plant to generate clean, renewable power and heat.
Commercial waste is a distinct type of waste separate from industrial waste and agricultural waste.
Wood wastes include woods from:
Many of these types of wood tend to be contaminated with chemicals and other materials. This contamination can make the waste wood difficult to use in traditional biomass to energy processes and potentially hazardous to the environment.
Our Gasplasma® energy from waste technology is able to transform efficiently the organic biomass into a pure, hydrogen-rich synthesis gas and safely destroys any harmful or hazardous inorganic chemicals.
All inorganic materials are made inert and vitrified into an environmentally benign product call Plasmarok® which can be sold as an aggregate for construction, generating a revenue stream.
Mining landfill is an innovative practice, which is a paradigm shift in waste management, where landfills can be considered storage of feedstock for waste to energy plants such as Gasplasma®. It works by:
Millions of tonnes of waste, going back many decades, are buried in landfill around the world. This waste creates significant amounts of greenhouse gases, including methane, a potent greenhouse gas, which if it is not managed properly has serious consequences for climate change and can damage the regional eco-system.
Gasplasma® energy from waste technology is ideal for landfill mining projects. The landfill to energy recovery process works by:
End of life vehicle processing recovers valuable recyclates and removes for recovery all pollutants from automobiles.
After this process, the remaining vehicle is shredded for further treatment into smaller parts called Auto Shredder Residue (ASR) sometimes referred to as Auto Shredder Fluff or Car Fluff.
ASR contains a mixture of all the different materials that make up the automobile, including metals, plastics, rubbers and textiles.
This mixture of materials makes ASR a difficult waste to handle and potentially harmful to the environment.
The Gasplasma® energy from waste process breaks down the ASR:
Gasplasma® uses a DC Plasma Converter to crack impurities from the raw syngas. The intense heat and strong UV light produced by the Plasma Arc neutralises hazardous wastes, such as:
Gasplasma® transforms the organic parts of the waste into a hydrogen-rich syngas that is used to generate clean, renewable power and renewable heat.
The second stage Plasma Converter makes hazardous elements inert and all the inorganic materials are vitrified into an environmentally benign product called Plasmarok®.
