Roskosmos will use a plasma torch for incineration of waste

We have developed plasmatrons, now we are working on the creation of a small installation that will make it possible to neutralize and dispose of hazardous waste from the municipal sector and industrial waste. By the end of the year, we plan to show our capabilities for the incineration of highly hazardous aggressive household waste.

CEO of the enterprise Vladimir Koshlakov

Kolshakov talked about plasmatrons, which make it possible to obtain high-temperature gases at temperatures above 4000-5000 degrees, a year ago. At the same time, he noted the possibility of using such installations for waste disposal. After the tests, the plasmatrons can begin to be used more massively – negotiations were already underway with the authorities of Nizhny Novgorod.
