Our Technologies

EnerSol's core technologies apply the intense heat provided by a plasma torch and high temperatures (usually > 2000°F) to cleanly and efficiently convert opportunity feedstocks to synthesis gas (syngas) and non-leaching slag.

Through the novel EnerSol plasma-enhanced PEPS® and PEGS™ technologies, a variety of problematic, toxic, renewable, and/or opportunity feed materials can be processed. Our PEPS® technology focuses primarily on the destruction of wastes; electricity can be produced from the syngas product. The PEGS™ technology is optimized for the production of high-quality syngas which can be converted into a variety of products including electric power, ultra-low sulfur synthetic liquid fuels (Clean Fuels), hydrogen, and chemicals through the use of commercially available downstream processes. (See our FAQ's section for more information.)

This technology can be used for the following major Applications:
Waste destruction by completely destroying or rendering inert hazardous components in wastes. (PEPS®)

Gasification of opportunity feedstocks to produce energy, Clean Fuels, chemicals, etc. (PEGS™)

Vitrification which converts metals and other difficult-to-handle inorganic materials, including radioactive low level mixed wastes (LLMW), into benign, non-leachable, glassy slag.

Waste Destruction

Plasma-heated PEPS® (Plasma Energy Pyrolysis System) units can destroy wastes far better than other high-temperature systems, such as incinerators. Under U.S. Army programs, EnerSol has demonstrated the performance of both Fixed PEPS® and Mobile PEPS® units on a commercial scale.

Gasification

The conversion of feedstocks such as municipal solid waste (MSW) or household trash and other forms of biomass into high-quality synthesis gas (syngas) can be enhanced through the addition of plasma energy. The syngas product can be used to produce electricity, synthetic gasoline and diesel fuels, ethanol, hydrogen, or chemicals. See our PEGS™ (Plasma Enhanced Gasification Systems) page for more information.

Vitrification

Plasma heating is ideally suited to converting difficult-to-handle metals and other inorganic materials into benign, non-leaching glassy slag. EnerSol has proven the efficacy of such vitrification by processing contaminated concrete in the Mobile PEPS®. The resulting glassy slag passed all applicable environmental testing and was judged safe.

EnerSol offers turnkey systems using patented process designs for the destruction of problematic waste streams (PEPS®), for the conversion of feedstock to syngas (PEGS™), and for the vitrification of problematic inorganic waste streams.

Waste Destruction Systems

Systems based on EnerSol's proven PEPS® (Plasma Energy Pyrolysis System) technology are designed for the complete and economical destruction of wastes. The Fixed PEPS® provides a stationary means of destruction of waste while the Mobile PEPS® can be transported to the hazardous waste generator’s site to provide local, on-site waste destruction.

Gasification Systems

The unique EnerSol Plasma Enhanced Gasification System (PEGS™) has the flexibility to convert a wide variety of feedstocks into high-quality syngas, which can be further processed to produce valuable and beneficial products.

EnerSol Vitrification Systems

Plasma-driven waste melting and vitrification systems convert wastes into non-leaching inert slag. These vitrification systems may be augmented by including a metals separation and recovery option.

System Operations

EnerSol has over 10 years experience in industrial scale system operations with a wide variety of feedstocks, including Regulated Medical Waste, Blast Media, and Petroleum Coke, to name a few.
