The Problem

The Waste Market in the United States is presently estimated at over 12.9 billion tons per year and growing approximately 5% annually. Approximately one-third of this market is recycled/reused, approximately one-third is land filled, and the rest is treated/destroyed. The potential market for the PEG is the two-thirds that is not recycled or reused with some impact on the reused market due to the solid residue that may be used in the manufacture of new products. The Technology’s ability to provide 97% volume reduction and synthetic fuel generation from most waste streams offers a value far greater than other technologies for waste processing.

​

The Plasma Energy Arc Process (PEAP) works best with a feed stream of 18% solids but can work with 15% solids. In many cases a liquid or semi liquid feed stock can be mixed with a solid waste feed to produce an acceptable waste feed source. While the PEAP reduces complex molecules to base atoms or simple molecules, the higher the caloric value of the feed stock the more economical the process. For example: the PEAP loves plastics and generally produces more than enough energy to pay for the processing and maintenance of the processing unit.
