Plasma Arc Waste Destruction System
NAVSEA CARDEROCK
 
About the Technology:
Click to View Full Size ImageThe Carderock Division of the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWCCD) and PyroGenesis developed a Plasma Arc Waste Destruction System (PAWDS) for shipboard use. The use of NSWCCD and PyroGenesis technology resulted in an efficient and compact design with the ability to dispose of a vast variety of unsorted ship garbage unlike any existing shipboard incinerator. PAWDS operates at extreme temperatures so that combustion is almost complete with very little pollutants exhausted into the environment.
 
Applications:   Military and Commercial Significance:
· Waste Disposal   The PAWDS system will eliminate the current need for hand sorting garbage prior to incineration. In using spin on (technology transition) and spin off (technology transfer) to develop a new technology, the partnership between NSWCCD and PyroGenesis is developing a new generation waste disposal system that benefits the U.S. Navy, commercial shipping, and the environment.
