Origin of PLASMA
3
History of Plasma Technology Late 1800’s: Plasma Arc Heater Developed For Metal Industry Early 1900’s: Plasma Heaters Used In The Chemical Industry 1950’s : Plasma Arc Cutting & Welding 1960’s : Used To Simulate Heat Of Spacecraft Re-entry 1990’s : Plasma Arc Utilized In Steel Mill Operations 1991: Plasma Research Facility Founded at Georgia Tech 1998: Plasma Municipal Solid Waste Plant Operational In Japan Today: Used in Industrial Plants Worldwide – Chemical Industry – Metallurgical Industry – Waste/Environment Industry
4
Plasma Gasification: Goals Eliminate The Need For Landfills Reduce Solid Waste Effects On The Environment (GHG, air toxins, leachate pollution). Harvest Energy & By-Products From Waste Help with the energy demand Save and protect underground water

Potential GHG Offset GHG Emissions from Coal 2-3 tons CO 2 per ton of coal combusted For every ton of MSW processed in a plasma plant, up to 2 tons of CO 2 is reduced from the atmosphere. Reduced methane emissions from not landfilling the wastes Reduced CO 2 from reduced coal combustion-to- electricity
