The World's Largest Plasma Gasification Facility Processing Hazardous Waste

SMS Envocare Ltd, part of Central India’s largest civil engineering and infrastructure development company, is using the Westinghouse Plasma Gasification plasma technology and reactor vessel design in two 72 tonnes-per-day energy recovery from hazardous waste plants in India. The construction is complete at the first facility in Pune and it has been operating for 2 years. SMS also built another 72 tonnes-per-day energy recovery from hazardous waste facility in Nagpur, India. This facility was commissioned Q4 2010. Each plant provides comprehensive disposal services for a wide variety of hazardous waste, and produces up to 1.6 MW (net) of electricity. Upon commissioning of both facilities, the number of commercial energy from waste facilities using Alter NRG’s plasma gasification technology will double from two to four facilities.
