Proven out by the US Department of Defense (DoD), the game-changing PRRS harnesses the power of plasma to provide industry, municipalities and the defense sector with a comprehensive, all-encompassing solution to waste management, while producing much-needed clean energy to meet our growing needs. Our team of technology professionals has integrated flexibility and versatility into the PRRS platform, giving it the ability to both process virtually any form of waste, and to generate clean energy and marketable construction materials, completely eliminating the need for landfill.

Recognized by the US Navy as the premier shipboard waste processing technology in the market, the Plasma Arc Waste Destruction System (PAWDS) is the world’s most compact, easy-to-operate, high temperature, plasma-based waste treatment system. With one-button rapid start-up and shutdown capabilities, PAWDS effectively destroys combustible wastes such as paper, plastics, food, oily rags, as well as waste oil, all with minimal segregation. Developed by our team in partnership with the US Department of Defense, PAWDS has been specified into all of the Gerald R. Ford Class supercarriers, and has been ordered by their contracted shipyard for their first two ships in this class: the CVN-78 USS Gerald R. Ford and the CVN-79 USS John F. Kennedy.

Evolving from our plasma platform developed for the US Military, SPARC is a highly effective, patented process for the complete destruction of ozone depleting substances and other environmentally noxious chemicals. SPARC is the latest innovation from our team of engineers, scientists and technicians. Refrigerants and other fluorinated chemicals (CFC, HCFC, HFC, PFC) that often have very high global warming potential (GWP) are fully cracked and safely eliminated using high temperature steam plasma. Already deployed for a major Canadian refrigerator recycler, SPARC can also be used to generate offset credits in the regulated or voluntary carbon markets.

Originally developed in 1995 for thermal spray coating systems, this compact, co-axial plasma torch known as the MINIGUN is our most compact and inexpensive solution for thermal applications. The MINIGUN can be fitted for radial injection of powders into the plasma plume. Used extensively by our own team for internal lab and pilot scale work, the MINIGUN is perfectly suited for a research and development environment, as well as for small-scale production. The MINIGUN offers an economical, flexible solution for thermal treatment of metals, for nanotechnology, and for small-scale high-tech material fabrication. This torch provides a wide range of solutions to address customer requirements in both academic and industrial environments.
