The company believes that its PTDR systems will eventually be treating dangerous hospital and industrial wastes in several Asian countries and U.S. states
China gets plasma thermal waste destruction system
1. China Gets Plasma Thermal Waste Destruction System
October 10, 2013
PEAT International has successfully commissioned a Plasma Thermal Destruction
and Recovery (PTDR) systems in Shanghai, China. The system was designed to
deconstruct medical waste and oil refinery sludge.
PEAT International, Inc. (PEAT), a plasma-thermal waste destruction company, has
installed a PTDR system in Shanghai, China. The 60 kg/hr system was specifically
designed for the treatment of medical waste and oil refinery sludge for Abada Plasma
Technology Holdings, Ltd.
"This is end-stage technology and sets the standard for clean hazardous waste
remediation. Only with plasma can you achieve temperatures high enough for waste
destruction in a single-staged process," said Joseph Rosin, PEAT International
chairman. "It's a 21st century solution that addresses three important needs:
significant volume reduction, full pollution control and competitive pricing. We are
currently preparing for other projects already under contract."
PEAT's PTDR "single stage" plasma-thermal process transforms hazardous waste
through molecular dissociation at 1,5000
C (2,7320
F) into recoverable, non-toxic end-
products, synthetic gas and heat (sources for energy recovery), metals, and a vitrified
glass matrix. Emissions are below the most stringent environmental standards.
PTDR systems are in operation in California, Taiwan, and China. For more
