In 2010, a US-based demonstration waste-to-energy system was commissioned in the Sacramento, CA area at a commercial research and development foundry named Technikon. Technikon desired a plasma gasification system to potentially treat US Army waste streams under Department of Defense and Department of Energy contracts. Locating and permitting a waste-to-energy system in California - arguably the most stringent air emission state in the US - illustrates the minimal environmental footprint associated with the plasma gasification technology.
PTDR-100 Waste To Energy System - Liaohua, Chinese Mainland
In late 2010, a PTDR-100 plasma gasification system was commissioned in Northern China for a large oil refinery to treat petroleum sludge and other related waste streams. This is a pilot project for the refinery, which is looking to support the purchase of multiple PTDR-1000 systems.
PTDR-100 - Taichung, China Taiwan
In 2008, a PTDR-100 plasma gasification system was commissioned in Gujarat, India. The system processed a wide range of solid waste streams, including hazardous waste, medical waste, industrial waste and pharmaceutical waste. The system is being re-commissioned in Taichung, Taiwan.
National Cheng Kung University - Tainan, China Taiwan
At the National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), PEAT completed the construction of a 3-to-5-metric ton per day ("TPD") PTDR plasma gasification system to process a wide range of solid waste streams, including industrial waste and toxic waste such as incinerator fly ash, medical waste and inorganic sludges. The plasma gasification facility can also process waste consumer batteries and other materials, including heavy metal sludges, refinery catalysts (hazardous waste streams that would generate valuable metal alloys). This plasma gasification facility, which was constructed as part of a comprehensive resource recovery facility funded by the Taiwan government, was commissioned in November 2004 and received its operating permit in January, 2005. PEAT designed, built and commissioned the PTDR plasma gasification facility and has been an active participant in the operations and maintenance of the plasma gasification facility on behalf of NCKU for its research purposes.
PEAT, and its contracting partner, RPTI International - a leading government-owned engineering/construction firm, were selected as the contracting team for a comprehensive resource recovery facility. The centerpiece of this facility is the PTDR plasma gasification system. This was the first time the Government of Taiwan committed financial and technical resources to the utilization of plasma gasification technology. This project also serves as a platform from which Taiwan may embark on a nationwide program to deploy plasma gasification systems for processing industrial waste like incinerator fly ash at many of its municipal waste incinerators.Since its commissioning, the plasma gasification facility has successfully processed a wide range of industrial waste, including incinerator fly ashes.
Fooyin University - Kaohsiung, China Taiwan
In January 2007, PEAT completed the construction on a 45 lbs (20 kg)/hr PTDR plasma gasification system at Fooyin University located in Kaohsiung (southern part of the country). The lab-sized unit, utilizing PEAT's advanced plasma gasification reactor configuration was designed to test a variety of solid hazardous waste and industrial waste streams with minimal amounts of piping and/or electrical connections. This plasma gasification facility, along with NCKU aullows PEAT to continuously validate its modeling simulation calculations.
Lorton, Virginia, USA
PEAT designed, built and proved-out a 350 kg/hr (750 lb/hour) demonstration plasma gasification system for the U.S. Army under the Congressionally funded PEPS (Plasma Energy Pyrolysis System) Project in Lorton, Virginia. As part of the contracting team, PEAT successfully demonstrated the 6-to-8-ton-per-day capacity of the plasma gasification system. The PTDR performed in full compliance with State and U.S. EPA permit, achieving a destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of 99.99999%.Following the initial acceptance tests, two extended demonstrations were conducted under the program to assess technology maturity and facilitate its full-scale implementation to destroy problem Defense Department waste streams. The waste steams selected for the two commercial demonstrations were Agricultural Blast Media and Regulated Medical Waste, respectively. The PTDR plasma gasification system operated for a minimum of 200 hours on a 24-hour basis during each of two demonstrations. Subsequently, the facility continued to be successfully operated.The plasma gasification facility, which occupied 440 square meters (4,750 square feet), was dismantled in 2001 having completed its mission for the US Army. The plasma gasification facility was relocated to a site owned by the Georgia Tech Research Institute (a partner of PEAT), where it is planned to used to further its continuing plasma research & development missions.
4. PTDR技術的研究與發展
Research & Development
PEAT designed, built, operated and maintained a 150 kW pilot plasma gasification system previously located at a facility in Huntsville, Alabama since 1992. The plasma gasification system was able to process 50 to 100 KGs per hour of test materials, depending on the material characteristics. The pilot plasma gasification system, which occupied approximately 310 square meters (3,300 square feet), was configured for testing, and was fully permitted for industrial waste treatment, toxic waste treatment and medical waste treatment.All thermal treatment technologies processing industrial waste, toxic waste and/or medical waste require site-specific permits. In anticipation of these requirements, PEAT's early research, development and testing involved third party sampling and analysis of air, water and solid residue associated with the PTDR plasma gasification processing of a wide variety of industrial waste streams.
Over the past 10 years, PEAT has compiled a track record of performing hundreds of campaigns processing a wide range of waste streams. This dynamic and comprehensive database is instrumental in the permitting application process for new site-specific PTDR plasma gasification systems. PEAT's in-house database includes one of the largest independently validated gas composition and slag leachability tests - demonstrating the versatility and performance of the PTDR plasma gasification technology. Any waste that is candidate for thermal processing is a potential candidate for PTDR plasma gasification processing.
