L’utilisation des torches à plasma pour la gazéification des déchets permet de convertir les déchets en énergie propre, tout en ne produisant aucun résidu secondaire. À cause des températures extrêmes produites par les torches à plasma (de 5 000 à 10 000 degrés Celsius, selon le type de gaz utilisé), le design des torches et […]

L’utilisation des torches à plasma pour la gazéification des déchets permet de convertir les déchets en énergie propre, tout en ne produisant aucun résidu secondaire. À cause des températures extrêmes produites par les torches à plasma (de 5,000 à 20,000 degrés Celsius, selon le type de gaz utilisé), le design des torches et des réacteurs […]

Industries using fossil fuels as their energy source are contributing to global warming as the required energy for their processes is supplied by combusting fossil fuels. CO2, a greenhouse gas, is a products of combustion. Using electricity generated by hydropower as the heat source may eliminate CO2 emission. One of the commercially available electric heaters […]

The use of plasma torches enables the gasification of waste into clean energy without producing any secondary residue. Because of the extremely high temperatures produced by plasma torches (more than 5,000 to 10,000 degrees Celsius depending on the type of gas used), the design of plasma torches and reactors presents new technological challenges to designers. […]

The use of plasma torches for the gasification of waste products enables the transformation of waste into clean energy with no residual by-products. As a result of the extremely high temperatures generated by plasma torches (from 5,000°C to 20,000°C depending on the type of gas used), torch and reactor modelling represent a technological challenge for […]

Our ever-increasing needs for material and energy to sustain our modern lifestyle put an increasingly difficult-to-bear stresses on the extraction, harvesting, transformation and utilization of natural resources and their disposal (or waste), which ultimately lead to environmental, economical, political and societal consequences. Researchers from PyroGenesis Canada Inc. and the Plasma Processing Laboratory of McGill University […]
