Westinghouse Plasma Technology successfully Integrates with Incinerators The Westinghouse Plasma Gasification Solution has been publicly endorsed by the Government of China as the go to guideline for the treatment and management of municipal, industrial and hazardous waste. This endorsement follows Alter NRG successfully commissioning an incinerator ash vitrification facility in Shanghai, China owned by GTS Energy. The facility is taking incinerator ash as well as other industrial and medical wastes and using the Westinghouse Plasma Technology to convert it into syngas which is intended to be used to augment power within the plant. In China and many other countries, incinerator ash in considered a hazardous waste which is a growing, expensive problem and is only resolved with special treatment. The Westinghouse Plasma Technology is able to treat the ash, turning the majority of it into a benign glass-like slag that can be used in other industries such as construction. The plasma gasifier can increase incinerator facility revenues by taking other high tipping fee feedstock and creating additional syngas or steam which can make the facilities power self-sufficient or increase their output to the power grid. The facility is co-located with Shanghai Environmental (a subsidiary of large, state-owned enterprise Shanghai Chengtou Holding Co. Ltd). Shanghai Chengtou Holding Co. Ltd. is engaged in property development, water supply, sewage treatment, environmental protection, distribution of oil products and engineering. Shanghai Environmental operates businesses that transport domestic wastes to landfills and incinerators primarily in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Sichuan and Shandong provinces of China.
