Is the Plasma Gasification Process (PGP) just another form of incineration?
No. The PGP system is a thermal process that takes place in an oxygen-starved environment. Because minimal oxygen is present, no burning occurs. By applying intense heat to waste material in the presence of small and controlled amounts of oxygen, the waste is broken down into its simplest molecules and then recombined into an energy rich synthetic gas. This process is far superior to incineration because no emissions are released into the atmosphere and the syngas produced is rich in energy and is an efficient fuel for creating electricity with gas engines or gas turbines How clean is the Plasma Gasification Process (PGP)? The Plasma Gasification Process is beyond compliance with the strictest Canadian or European environmental guidelines. The waste conversion process produces no air emissions, nothing is released into the ground, and all the products of the process are completely reusable. Electricity generation using the synthetic gas product is as clean as electricity generation usi
