What are the advantages of a plasma gasification WTE facility over incineration?
They provide a new cost effective means of producing synthesis gas (syngas) and steam to generate electricity and other forms of energy, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. and eliminating the need for land-fills. Standard Incineration creates bottom ash and fly ash, which is considered a hazardous waste which requires additional treatment or disposal in special landfills. The high temperature of the plasma gasification converts material to a molten slag which, after cooling, can be used as construction aggregate and roadbed material.
