“…The performance of thermal plasma gasification has been demonstrated in many other studies e.g Byun et al (2011), Zhang et al (2012), Galeno et al (2011), Danthurebandara et al (2014) and Gray (2014) among others and concluded that plasma gasification is the most proficient and environmentally nice method for solid waste management. Galeno et al (2011) observed that owing to the growing quantity of waste materials generated directly from industries and other residential areas in several countries of the world, waste management is becoming a critical issue particularly in recent years.…”

Abstract:The study aimed at proposing a model an (advance technology) known as Plasma gasification as an alternative technology for the treatment of waste. The paper portray the technology and unveiled it relevance and efficiency in waste management system. The findings reveals, among other things, that plasma technology is still not recognized in the study area, some environmental constraints ranging from erratic electricity supply and cost have to a large extent hindered the utilization and efficient performance of this type of technology, that waste generation and disposal is increasing at alarming rate due to urban growth, economic activities and increasing population. Similarly, being a commercial centre coupled with high concentration of industries, these activities also give rise to huge volume of Municipal solid waste generation and disposal practices making it management to be a major environmental problem affecting the study area. Although, the amount of waste generation and disposal on daily basis could not be precisely established due to lack of inclusive and consistent data base on waste management. The paper concludes that waste management system is at it lowest ebb and thus, open dumping is currently practice with few segment of the population engaged in scavenging.

“…We combined the thermal plasma gasification plant with 50 kW proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) from November, 2010 to October, 2011. We installed WGS and PSA to make high purity H2 (> 99.999%); we already demonstrated to make high-purity H2 (>99.99%) using WGS and PSA in 3 TPD thermal plasma gasification plant using paper mill waste [26]. Finally, we succeed to make high-purity H2 (>99.999%) and generate electricity from 50 kW PEMFC.…”

“…We constructed thermal plasma plants for the recovery of high purity H2 (> 99.99%) from paper mill waste at 3 TPD (ton/day) and the gasification of MSW at 10 TPD [26,27]. For the recovery of high purity H2, gases emitted from a gasification furnace equipped with a nontransferred thermal plasma torch were purified using a bag-filter and wet scrubber.…”

In this study, we designed and demonstrated the effectiveness of an integrated waste treatment system for contaminated stormwater sludge. The system is comprised of two components: pulsed arc electrohydraulic discharge (PAED) for aqueousphase treatment and thermal plasma decontamination for solid-phase treatment. PAED provided a reduction of 80 % in total organic carbon (TOC) within a treatment time of 5 min in the aqueous phase. With a prolonged treatment of 30 min, the decontamination of TOC reached over 90 % in the aqueous phase, accompanied with 20 % carbon and 70 % sulfur decreases in weight in the solid phase. A huge weight reduction can be achieved prior to further solid treatment. The solid phase, named as the PAEDtreated sludge, was separated by sedimentation and transferred to thermal plasma treatment. The thermal plasma-treated sludge was slightly melted, and the formation of slag was possible. X-ray energy dispersion solid analysis showed that carbon and sulfur were reduced to zero after treatment. Si, Mg, and Al decreased by 25, 30, and 60 %, respectively, while Ca and Fe enriched by 400 and 25 %, respectively. The emission gas analyses demonstrated a possible energy recovery from gaseous compounds with adequate gaseous treatment devices. This research demonstrates an innovative treatment approach of various sludge types, especially those types that contain high water contents and are severely contaminated by toxic organic compounds.
