For Plasma refers to a conductive gas, highly ionized. The torch or the non-transferred arc electrodes are capable of producing plasma at very high temperatures (the highest achieved in controlled industrial processes) and such as to cause thermochemical dissociation of what is being treated.

Unlike other incineration systems, since the dissociation of waste occurs in the absence of oxygen, the application of plasma technology does not result in emissions of volatile substances such as combustion gases or harmful substances such as furans and dioxins.

The main reactions that occur during the process within our plasma torch are:

  • disintegration of the components: it allows the dissociation of the organic components that are transformed into synthesis gas. All the hydrocarbons present in the treated waste are gasified and form a synthesis gas composed essentially of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. This mixture is highly energetic and is reacted to produce electricity or distilled to produce methanol and ethanol. Moreover, the high temperatures reached avoid the formation of toxic compounds such as dioxins and furans.
  • fusion: it involves the fusion of all inorganic compounds and the formation of an inert and non-leachable material (slag). All the toxic elements contained in the treated waste are subject to physical-chemical transformations that allow their total inertization.

    • Brief description

      Opposed to what happens in other systems used for waste disposal, since the dissociation of the products subjected to treatment takes place in the absence of oxygen, the application of plasma technology does not involve the emission of volatile substances such as combustion gases or harmful substances such as furans and dioxins.

    • Datasheet - plasma

      Plasma technology has existed since the 1960s.

    • How it works

      The plasma torch owes its high energy density, and therefore its effectiveness, to the generation inside of an electric arc between two electrodes; this, interacting with a suitable carrier gas, gives the gas particles very particular characteristics that make the "plasma" state a different kind of matter's state in itself. The overall result is an extremely concentrated heat generation within the...

    • Biodigestion

      The preparation of the substrate consists in obtaining the physical-chemical characteristics considered optimal for introduction into the biodigester.

    • BIOZIMMI

      We are talking about an atypical industrial plant which, instead of polluting, will proceed to remove pollution and improve people’s lives.

    • Empowering Device

      Empowering Device has been fully conceived, developed and implemented by our team and is able to simultaneously manage different types of controlled cavitation, of which 5 of a different nature but which coexist harmoniously to the point that no significant vibrations are detected.

    • Gasification

      In nature there is no "waste", everything is recovered and put back into circulation in a virtuous cycle.

    • Mining

      The current evolution of mining passes thorough the abandonment of methods that are dangerous for man and the environment, such as the use of mercury and cyanides, to get to Borax, a modern and harmless method, which also allows a better yield in recovered gold.

    • Soil washing

      Most of our specialists and technicians come from the Oil & Gas sector and, therefore, has been taught to everyone of them, since the early beginning, that any spillage in the soil must be avoided. This is not only for obvious environmental problems but also to avoid costly and annoying protests by environmental movements.
