environment and energy company Startech is the internationally
recognized, Award-winning Environment and Energy Industry Company
producing and selling its innovative, proprietary plasma processing
equipment known as the Plasma Converter System(TM). The Plasma
Converter System safely and economically destroys wastes, no matter
how hazardous or lethal, and turns most into useful and valuable
products. In doing so, the System protects the environment and
helps to improve the Public Health and Safety. The System achieves
closed-loop elemental recycling to safely and irreversibly destroy
urban waste, organics and inorganics, solids, liquids and gases,
hazardous and non-hazardous waste, industrial by-products and also
items such as electronics-waste (e-waste), medical waste, chemical
industry waste and other specialty wastes, while converting many of
them into useful commodity products that can include silicates,
metals and a synthesis-gas called Plasma Converted Gas (PCG)(TM).
Among the many commercial uses for PCG, is its use to produce
"Carbonless Electric Power" from Startech Hydrogen, Gas-To-Liquid
(GTL) fuels such as ethanol, synthetic diesel fuel and other higher
alcohol "alternative" fuels. Startech Hydrogen, for commercial use
and sale, can also be recovered from the PCG. The Startech Plasma
Converter is essentially a manufacturing system producing valuable
commodity products from feedstock-materials that were previously
regarded as wastes. Startech regards all wastes, hazardous and
non-hazardous, as valuable renewable resources and as feedstocks.
