PEAT International – Redefines Conservation and Efficiency of Energy

In 1992, Plasma Energy Applied Technology (PEAT), Inc. opened its first R&D facility using the plasma technology in Huntsville, Alabama. In December 2002, PEAT merged with DAE Technologies, Inc., a holding company formed by the current PEAT management team, and the combined entity was named PEAT International.

Plasma Energy Applied Technology (PEAT) international with its Plasma Thermal Destruction Recovery ("PTDR") technology for the treatment and recycling of waste has endorsed the Economic, national and environment Benefits of Recycling since its inception.

Plasma, often referred to as the "Fourth State of Matter" is a special form of ionized gas that conducts electricity. Plasmas can be generated in a wide range of temperatures reaching millions of degrees. Plasma torches by PEAT international create an ultra-high energy environment where the energy density is greater than the bonding energy between the elemental atoms that form molecules. When the molecules that form the waste are fed into the plasma field, the molecules are dissociated into their basic elemental atomic constituents. This dissociation permanently and totally destroys the molecular compounds and their properties

Well-run recycling programs cost less to operate than waste collection, land filling, and incineration. PEAT International, headquartered in Northbrook, Illinois, is a waste-to-resources company specializing in the deployment of its proprietary Plasma Thermal Destruction Recovery ("PTDR") technology for the treatment and recycling of a wide range of waste feed stocks, including: industrial, universal and medical waste.

Plasma Energy Applied Technology (PEAT) international with its Plasma Thermal Destruction Recovery ("PTDR") technology for the treatment and recycling of waste has, in part endorsed the Economic Benefits of Recycling as following:

 

  • Well-designed programs of Recycling helps families save money, especially in communities with pay-as-you-throw programs
  • Recycling creates 1.1 million U.S. jobs, $236 billion in gross annual sales and $37 billion in annual payrolls 
  • Thousands of U.S. companies have saved millions of dollars through their voluntary recycling programs

 

Plasma Energy Applied Technology (PEAT) international with its Plasma Thermal Destruction Recovery ("PTDR") technology for the treatment and recycling of waste has, in part endorsed the Environmental Benefits of Recycling as the following:

 

  • Recycling and composting diverted nearly 70 million tons of material away from landfills and incinerators in 2000, up from 34 million tons in 1990-doubling in just 10 years. 
  • Every ton of paper that is recycled saves 17 trees one recycled glass bottle  lights a light bulb for four hours 
  • Recycling reduces ten major categories of air pollutants and eight major categories of water pollutants 
  • In the U.S, processing minerals contributes almost half of all reported toxic emissions from industry, sending 1.5 million tons of pollution into the air and water each year while Recycling can  reduce these emissions
  • Recycling helps us save energy by reducing our reliance on foreign oil.
  • Manufacturing from recycled materials saves energy and water and reduces air and water pollution
  • In 2000, recycling resulted in an annual energy savings equal to the amount of energy used in 6 million homes
  • A national recycling rate of 30% reduces greenhouse gas emissions as much as removing nearly 25 million cars from the road
  • Recycling conserves natural resources, such as timber, water, and minerals 
  • One year of recycling on just one college campus, Stanford University, saved the equivalent of 33,913 trees and removed the need for 636 tons of iron ore, coal, and limestone. 
  • Every ton of newsprint or mixed paper recycled is the equivalent of 12 trees and every ton of office, is the equivalent of 24 trees 
  • When one ton of steel is recycled, 2,500 pounds of iron ore, 1,400 pounds of coal and 120 pounds of limestone are conserved

 

We can do better 

 

Plasma Energy Applied Technology (PEAT) international is a global leader in designing advanced waste-to-resources systems. The principal mission of Plasma Energy Applied Technology (PEAT) international is the deployment of its proprietary Plasma Thermal Destruction Recovery ("PTDR") technology for the treatment of a wide range of waste feedstocks, including industrial, industrial process, biological/medical and universal waste streams. The proprietary PTDR technology of Plasma Energy Applied Technology (PEAT) international is an environmentally friendly process that converts wastes into a non-toxic synthetic gas as an alternative source of energy. The PTDR of Plasma Energy Applied Technology (PEAT) international is a proven, cost-effective, environmentally clean and commercially viable solution for waste remediation.

 

The Plasma Energy Applied Technology (peat) international mission is to provide a robust, efficient and environmentally sound methodology for the treatment and conversion of waste streams into commercial commodity products creating a renewable source of energy and value added products.
