TGE PlasmaFuelTM

The Process

This is the process used in the TGE PlasmaFuel™ Facility to produce
renewable energy, beneficial commodities and building materials.

Feedstocks (waste products of various types: tires, unused prescriptions, plastics, industrial waste, non-recycled municipal solid waste, agricultural waste, etc.) are fed into the system. Materials are superheated in an oxygen starved environment causing them to be transformed into their molecular components. The resultant gaseous fuel is cleaned and converted into TGE PlasmaFuel™, clean liquid fuels. The resultant melt becomes the feedstocks for building materials and more.

Less than 20% of the total energy content of the feedstock powers the plasma arc vessel.

80% of the energy from feedstocks is available
as power and fuel for useful applications.


Plasma energy, at about 5,500 degree centigrade, in an oxygen starved environment, transforms the feedstocks into hydrogen-rich gaseous fuel and liquid melt that cools into solid products.

  1. TGE PlasmaFuel™ is the clean liquid fuels produced by transforming feedstock materials using proven conversion technologies. 
  2. SynMelt™ is various building material used as quality insulation and fire proofing. One of the many applications of SynMelt™ is "rock wool".
    To the right is rock wool pipe covering being applied to a steel pipe for a fire test resulting in a 2 hour fire-resistance rating/certification listing for a fire stop system.
  3. GreenSteel™ is like any other steel, with all the same qualities of steel, except this steel is recovered from waste and recycled for use instead of being discarded in a landfill.


There are other marketable commodities that are recovered in our conversion processes. Impurities in the gaseous fuel are recovered or recycled.  Some go back through the plasma arc vessel, while others such as sulfur are captured and sold to industry. You can see the great value of sulfur here in this article by Chris Mayer, editor, Capital & Crisis May 29, 2008:  “In short, demand is swamping supply. Sulfuric acid prices in March 2008 hit a record high of $329 per ton, according to Purchasingdata.com, after trading at $90 per ton as of October 2007.

The TGE PlasmaFuel™ facilities minimize emissions and can be permitted as a minor emissions source.

“One technology which potentially can use various
types of waste, produce electricity and hydrogen
without emitting dioxin, furan and mercury,
is plasma arc technology. Municipalities can install
a plasma arc facility which will eliminate land filling…"
