1 Plasma furnaces and reactors for waste treatment technology of processing wastes on the basis of plasma chemistry technology Our vision is to create a world where waste is an asset, not a liability

2 With the development of civilization waste of human activity is increasing at an alarming rate Waste Management - the inevitable trend of the XXI century, every year mankind will be forced to spend more and more money on recycling Our task is to make this process environmentally safe and costeffective

3 Plasma, due to the high temperatures, can destroy any waste to the atomic level, which makes the plasma technology the most versatile and efficient method treatment the full range of waste man-made Plasma technologies can be involved in re-circulation maximum amount of the substance found in the waste

4 Advantages of plasma technologies: Ecological cleanliness Waste products can be processed without preliminary sorting Absence of harmful emissions (inclusive dioxids) Quantity of gaseous products of gasification of the waste products subject to clearing of essentially less quantity of products of their burning, formed in the traditional technologies based on burning of waste products. It results in sharp reduction of dimensions of system of clearing of departing gases Reception of the clean alloyed slag which can be used as building materials or buries, not being exposed to destruction Opportunity to receive from organic waste products combustible gases which can be used in the technological purposes. For example syngas with high calorific value and high hydrogen content is produced Opportunity to receive thermal or electric energy High energy density, high thermal transfer efficiency Reduction of time constants, high process rates Possibility to flexibly to guide the process for different versions of the script physicochemical Reduction of reaction volume The low inertia of the process and, as a consequence, a higher degree of security, since the process can quickly stop and restart Better control of exhaust gas composition Reduction of production of tars (organic compounds with high molecular weight)

5 Plasma technologies are widely applied to processing various waste products Municipal Industrial Medical Radioactive Military

6 Products treatment and processing target (Two major problems) Getting a secondary useful products (energy, fuels and chemical raw materials) organic vegetable waste organic biological waste synthetic waste (polymers, plastics) petrochemical waste low-grade mineral fuels municipal industrial (non-toxic) Environmentally safe disposal, recycling in the inert form тoxic (including persistent organic pollutants (POPs)) medical radioactive military

7 Vegetable waste wood and articles thereof foliage waste and timber felling agricultural waste defective agricultural products waste paper and other cellulosic waste

8 Biological waste waste and poultry slaughterhouses waste of food production products have become unusable fallen pets

9 Synthetic waste (polymers, plastics) polyethylene waste plastic articles synthetic textiles car tires and other rubber waste polymer components of electrical and electronic devices household products containing plastics

10 Petrochemical waste waste oil refining including acid tars oil sludges waste lubricating materials still bottoms bituminous sand removed asphalt waste soft roofing made based on bitumen and tar

11 Low-grade mineral fuels shale oil peat brown coal

28 Sources of such radioactive waste Nuclear power plants; Nuclear fuel cycle industries; Research centers; Universities; Hospitals, medical centers and laboratories; Industries (non-energy); Historical waste.

29 Methods of radioactive waste processing Cementation Bituminization Curing in polymer matrices Combustion Pyrolysis. All of these methods are limited in their application in the field of chemical, morphological, and aggregate composition of material to be processed.

30 Product processing Combustion Toxic ultra dispersed ash Plasma vitrification Vitrified compound

31 Product processing Cementation - Steel tank with cemented waste Plasma vitrification Steel tank with vitrified compound Volume reduction of 10 to 50 times
