PEAT International Commissions
Plasma Thermal Waste-to-Energy System
in China

Northbrook, Illinois & Shanghai, China October 10, 2013 PEAT International, Inc., (PEAT) a
leader in plasma-thermal waste destruction systems, announced the successful commissioning of a
Plasma Thermal Destruction and Recovery (PTDR) system in Shanghai, China. The 60 kg/hr system -
designed for medical waste and oil refinery sludge - was installed for Abada Plasma Technology
Holdings, Ltd. - an Asian-based renewable energy project developer.
PEATs PTDR single stage plasma-thermal process transforms hazardous waste through molecular
dissociation at 1,500C (2,732F) into recoverable, non-toxic end-products, synthetic gas and heat
(sources for energy recovery), metals and a vitrified glass matrix. Emissions are below the most
stringent environmental standards used anywhere.
"This is end-stage technology and sets the standard for clean hazardous waste remediation. Only with
plasma can you achieve temperatures high enough for waste destruction in a single-staged process,
said Joseph Rosin, PEAT International Chairman. Its a 21st century solution that addresses three
important needs: significant volume reduction, full pollution control and competitive pricing. We are
currently preparing for other projects already under contract."
PTDR systems are in operation in California, Taiwan and China. Go
