From Feedstock to Plant

A systematic process from feasibility through deployment — engineered around your specific requirements.

STEP 1

Feedstock & Plasma-Chemistry Analysis

We characterise the material — composition, calorific value, moisture, halogen and metal content — and determine the plasma route that suits it.

You provide:

Representative samples, throughput target, disposal or offtake goal

We deliver:

Feasibility assessment, proposed process route, indicative mass and energy balance

STEP 2

Simulation & Reactor Design

The discharge, the field distribution and the reactor internals are modelled before anything is cut. Our simulation team works with university plasma laboratories on the hard cases.

You provide:

Site constraints, utilities available, permitting context

We deliver:

Field and thermal simulation, reactor geometry, torch specification

STEP 3

Prototype & Trial Campaign

A prototype is built and run on your actual feedstock. Data monitoring through the campaign is what turns a design into a validated process recipe.

You provide:

Feedstock volume for the campaign, acceptance criteria

We deliver:

Prototype unit, trial data, treated residues, validated operating window

STEP 4

Industrial Sample & Deployment

Scale to an industrial unit, integrated with feed handling, gas cleanup and offtake — commissioned, documented and supported.

You provide:

Installation footprint, power and steam supply, operating schedule

We deliver:

Industrial system, operator training, maintenance plan, ongoing support

Technical Advantages

What changes when the disposal cycle has no combustion step in it.

No Combustion Step

Decomposition is carried out in an oxygen-free environment saturated with hydrogen and oxygen ions. Without an oxidation cycle there is no pathway to dioxins, furans or NOₓ.

Steam as the Plasma Medium

Water vapour is cheap, abundant and non-explosive, and it is an active reagent rather than only a coolant. Because it introduces no nitrogen, no nitrogen oxides can form.

99–99.5% Carbon Conversion

A second ionisation stage — the plasma filter — completes the destruction of anything that survives the reactor. This is what makes zero emission to the environment achievable.

Indifferent to Feedstock

Municipal and medical waste, refinery sludge, scrap tyres, biomass, heavy oils and tar are all handled by the same process line, reconfigured rather than redesigned.

Slag, Not Hazardous Ash

The inorganic fraction leaves vitrified and inert, usable as a construction material, instead of as an ash that must itself be disposed of as hazardous waste.

No Cost Premium

The technology does not raise the capital cost of waste-disposal equipment relative to the alternatives, while removing the emissions abatement they require.

Field Configuration

Microwave power is coupled into the reactor cavity, creating standing or traveling wave patterns described by Maxwell's curl equations. Boundary conditions and power level control the field distribution that drives plasma generation.
