Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004072210A1] An industrial process is described, together with the relative plant, for the thermal gasification of combustible material from waste, in the form of "C.D.R." or "fluff", at zero emission into the atmosphere. The plant, which operates through a multigas plasma torch, running with oxygen-enriched air, produces hydrogen and other technical gases. The hydrogen can be used, after separation from the various gases, for the generation of electric energy through high yield systems and low harmful gas emissions, such as, for example, fuel cells or "Turbogas", for industrial uses and/or for feeding hydrogen vehicles. The process also envisages the possibility of generating electric energy with traditional Brayton cycle gas turbines or with "OTTO gas" groups.
