Plasma Arc Waste Destruction
Municipal waste disposal is one of the most pressing environmental
problems of the 21st century. According to the EPA, Over 245 million
tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) were generated in the United
States in 2005. Population growth has consequently resulted in a
significant increase in municipal wastes for disposal.
Simultaneously, there has been increased pressure on business and
civic leaders for better land use, environmental stewardship and
sustainable development.
Plasma arc processing of waste materials is an innovative solution.
It not only effectively disposes of waste but also creates large
quantities of energy from MSW, a renewable resource. The
combinations of solid waste disposal challenges and the recent steep
increases in energy costs make plasma arc applications an important
alternative to waste disposal in many markets, particularly island
and peninsular states and densely populated areas where land costs
are at a premium and shipping costs are prohibitive.
Alternative Energy
The 2005 Energy Act encourages energy efficiency and conservation and promotes the use of alternative and renewable energy sources such as MSW.
