2 Waste treatment by Plasma technology Why? Universality for different type of waste Cost competitive Environmentally friendly Produces no harmful emissions or toxic waste/slag Meets regulatory requirements worldwide Simple to operate and requires low maintenance Proven to be safe Production of clean alloyed slag which could be used as construction material Produces energy and value - added products

3 Plasma Reactor Compared to Traditional Combustion Furnace Much higher degree of hazardous material destruction with the simultaneous decrease of the exhaust gasvolume Much higher degree of control of the process Much lower weight and dimensions of the reactor and the installation Less costlymaintenance Much faster process activation and easy to shutdown Increased safety
