9. Westinghouse Plasma (Alter NRG), PA, USA   www.westinghouse-plasma.com

Alter NRG, Canada http://www.alternrg.com/who owns the world renowned Westinghouse use plasma gasification technology to create renewable energy from waste and biomass, avoid landfilling, and reduce greenhouse gas and other harmful emissions. The company is the industry leader for the treatment of all types of waste (industrial, household, commercial, hazardous, etc.) using plasma technology and converting it into useable energy such as electricity, syngas (replacement for natural gas), heat, steam, or liquid fuels such as diesel or ethanol. The technology is commercially proven with facilities operating since 2002. They are a technology provider – who sell equipment, engineering and licenses. Over the past 30 years, Westinghouse Plasma Corporation (WPC) has successfully processed over 100 feed stocks, including excavated landfill material containing PCBs, scrap metal, bricks, clay, tires and digital equipment. Most recently, in early 2009, 2 facilities  in India ( in Pune and later Nagpur city ) using their design technology was commissioned to process 72 tons of hazardous waste per day for destruction of hazardous  waste. Both plants are operational successfully. Presently the company is setting up its second 1000 tpd WTE project in UK (just been awarded 2nd project of identical capacity in UK) which will generate 50 MW of clean energy. Westinghouse’s has the ability to convert difficult waste streams, including municipal, incinerator ash, commercial, industrial, petrochemical, and medical waste into syngas and environmentally sound by-products (e.g. aggregate, insulation). This is not an incinerator technology. Most competitors don’t have commercial installations and most of their facilities are operating significantly below the permitted air emissions limits. What stands out is the fact that Inorganic materials and metals can be separated and sold by using plasma technology.  Their gasification technology can Process heterogeneous feedstock with minimal feed preparation; •Process high moisture and high inert content waste; •Blend solids, liquids and slurries; •Reduce dependence on one feedstock, optimize revenue based on available feedstock’s; Produce a tar free syngas – something most non-plasma gasification technologies cannot do.
