A Closed Loop High Efficiency Plasma Waste-to-Power Generation Model

This project addresses three major research problems currently treating our globe. These problems are as follows: the pending energy crisis, the environmental degradation due to an ever increasing growth of waste and the environmental degradation due to the continuous generation of greenhouse gas emissions. In light of these problems, efforts are geared towards the development of a `one-stop' solution. A preliminary survey of available technical data indicates that the three problems could be solved through the use of an efficient `plasma combustion' technology. The usage of this plasma technology can simultaneously disintegrate waste while electrical power is generated and greenhouse gas emissions are eliminated. An innovative aspect of this work is the development of a closed-loop renewable power generation system that can potentially be integrated into local communities. A technical and economic analysis of the proposed system is presented in this paper.
