Waste Management
Challenges in waste management
The waste management sector faces a twofold challenge: waste must be treated safely and in an environmentally responsible way, while expectations are also growing to view it as a source of raw materials and energy rather than simply a disposal problem. Residual materials, mixed waste and biogenic waste consist of complex mixtures that are often difficult to predict, and their treatment requires high temperatures and stable process conditions.
Conventional incineration and gasification processes face limitations: they often produce syngas with a low calorific value or a high proportion of contaminants, while incineration alone makes little use of the material potential of waste. At the same time, hazardous special waste—such as CFCs, perfluorinated compounds or pollutant-contaminated residual materials—must be destroyed to a high degree. Finally, by-products such as ash and slag must also be put to good use rather than sent to landfill.

Waste management solutions
PlasmaAir AG provides plasma technology for the thermal treatment and material recovery of waste. The PB plasma torches are at the heart of systems for the disposal of hazardous substances and waste-to-energy processes, developed as a solution for the thermal treatment of waste streams and material conversion.
The torches can be flexibly adapted to the task at hand: the PBO series can operate with oxidative plasma gases such as air, water vapour or CO₂ and is available in sizes ranging from 1 to 100 kW of electrical power. Applications include cracking plants for CFC disposal, waste treatment and the conditioning of pyrolysis gases. Rather than simply combusting materials, plasma technology enables targeted material conversion, for example into high-quality synthesis gas.
A key advantage: PlasmaAir supplies not only the plasma source but also turnkey systems, including customised power supply, process control and monitoring. This is complemented by close collaboration with research institutes, through which new processes—from plastics pyrolysis to plasma-assisted biomass gasification—are continuously developed.
