Our plant is completely innovative in its design while relying on proven, mature technologies and, individually, commercially used for decades in different parts of the world.
It is impossible to doubt the gasification and plasma torch technologies as they exist and are applied daily to treat MSW all over the world, the first since post-World War II and the second since 1980.
To get an idea of where operational gasification plants exist in the world today, just look at the following map:
Such a widespread diffusion of this technology is enough to answers to any perplexity that may ever arise regarding the convenience or not of adopting it.
In addition, plasma technology is often referred to as "high temperature gasifiers".
Gasification in 1861 allowed Siemens, a startup in that time, to establish itself as a brand also linked to energy production thanks to the introduction of an innovative gasifier model.
While plasma torch technology has been successfully applied for over 40 years in the first 135,000 ton / year plant that has been started in Japan since 1980; today plasma systems are even installed on larger ships including US aircraft carriers.
Recently a pool of US scientists is proceeding with the preparation of ships with plasma torches to eliminate once and for all the oceanic plastic islands as per the project presented by Eng.Zucca to the Italian CNR in 2012.
Gas treatment technologies are refinements and adaptations from the world of oil & gas.
The main innovation lies in being an industrial plant which instead of creating pollution feeds on it to produce basic needs (electricity for example) or to produce other elements useful for harmonious progress and not in contrast with nature. We were the first who thought of combining different technologies, all complementary to each other.
In addition, being designed in a modular way, allows us to adapt it to almost all uses and needs.
Finally, the adoption of consolidated third-party energy production technologies as well as third-party abduction systems normally adopted in other production chains allows a sensible and significant containment of both purchase and management costs as well as being able to select from time to time on the market the most performing technology for the size and type of syngas to be used.
Controlled cavitation, the long and fruitful experimentation of which has led us to obtain rewarding results, including certified ones, such as the reduction of COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) by more than 90% in just a few minutes, is a powerful new technology that is rarely used in other sectors.
Similarly, the plasma chamber designed by us is the first in the world to be able to use different types of electrodes, thus safeguarding the investment from obsolescence, just as our gasifiers, in addition to being three-way, do not require continuous changes of refractory or the perceived external temperature is such as to not burn your hands in case of accidental contact.
