"TrueFuel™ is the Answer"

Plasma Waste Systems

Several companies have developed plasma systems to process waste materials. Plasmas

are electrically conducting hot gases with ionized mass flow. These systems use the

plasma to incinerate waste and may require oxygen injection in the process. These

systems change the waste into a slag. Some of these systems produce Syngas as a

byproduct. Since oxygen is injected, their product gas has an increased amount of carbon

dioxide as compared to TrueFuel.

We also differ from these systems in that these systems do not add water to the system.

Their main purpose is to incinerate waste; our main purpose is to use a chemical reaction

to create fuel. We add water to make the correct H-C-O ratio for our gas. TrueFuel has

less carbon dioxide as compared to the Syngas made with oxygen. Therefore TrueFuel

has both a faster flame speed and higher heat content. The Syngas made with oxygen

injection is diluted with carbon dioxide as compared to TrueFuel.

Because plasma systems are for waste disposal and not energy production, they are large

systems with a high capital cost.
