Abstract

A plasma or ionic reactor or gasifier implements an ultra-high temperature ionic gasification process that can be used in an environmentally friendly manner to dispose of dried biosolids from, for example, wastewater treatment plants as well other waste feed stocks such as municipal solid waste (MSW) to produce, for example, renewable syngas that can be used to provide heat, power, renewable fuels, renewable hydrogen, and/or renewable chemical production. The systems described herein do so by generating electrical arcs across the interior of the gasifier reaction chamber creating a localized, controlled temperature in excess of 3000 C along with ionic gas or particles (plasma). This ultra-high temperature gasification zone and active ionic environment combine to very effectively and efficiently break down molecules into their constituent atoms, in a process called complete molecular dissociation. This ultra-high temperature ionic zone will also rapidly decompose impurities in the feed stock such as microplastics, PFAS (Per- and Polyfluorinated Substances), and other fluorocarbon materials.
