6. Conclusion

Contrary to popular belief among experts in classical thermal physics, the process of plasma gasification, even in the absence of oxygen blasting, can be maintained in the regime of energy self-sufficiency.

The most general assessments of ecological benefits and energy efficiency of plasma-steam gasification technologies are presented. It is shown based on the thermodynamic study that processing of sewage sludge using plasma technologies can be commercially attractive.

The described hazards treatment system has the ability to accept a wide range of waste materials and as such can be regarded as a mobile and flexible treatment system. This system can be applied to treat high toxic wastes containing both organic and inorganic substances.

The results show that hazards treatment technology can process highly toxic organic and inorganic substances with the efficiency of 99.99%.

The results on heat balance and heat transfer point that the combustion process takes place over all the reactor volume. The incineration process finishes through the entrance section (x/d < 1) of the reactor chamber.
