The PWR process is a breakthrough application of proven technologies utilizing a high-temperature plasma arc to produce clean renewable energy on a 24-7 basis. This process converts any carbon-containing waste into a synthesis gas which can be converted to electricity or liquid fuels, rock wool insulation, and scrap steel ingots. Because there is no ash to dispose of, the PWR Process can be considered total recycling. There is nothing left to landfill. No co-reactants are required. This process has the lowest capital cost, the lowest operating cost, the lowest emissions, and the highest efficiency of any plasma conversion technology.
