Plasma Waste Processing Vessels
Roben, Mfg, Inc. manufactures plasma waste processing vessels for the most challenging waste destruction applications requiring extreme temperatures. Our plasma processing vessels feature designs accommodating plasma torch integration, slag handling, and the ultra-high temperatures (5000°F+) that enable complete destruction of even the most persistent hazardous materials.
What Are Plasma Waste Processing Vessels?
Plasma waste processing vessels are extreme-temperature reactors utilizing plasma torches to achieve temperatures from 5000°F to 20000°F for complete destruction of hazardous wastes that cannot be adequately treated by conventional thermal processes. These vessels convert wastes to vitrified slag and clean synthesis gas.

Frequently Asked Questions
What temperatures do plasma waste processors achieve?
Plasma torches produce temperatures from 5000°F to over 20000°F depending on design. Process temperatures in the reaction zone typically reach 3000-5000°F, sufficient to completely destroy any organic compounds and vitrify inorganic residues into a stable glass-like slag.
How are plasma processing vessels protected from extreme temperatures?
Protection strategies include water-cooled copper or refractory linings, skull formation where solidified material protects vessel walls, and designs keeping the highest temperatures away from pressure-retaining components. The specific approach depends on waste characteristics and throughput requirements.
What happens to the waste products from plasma processing?
Plasma processing produces vitrified slag (glass-like material that passes leachability tests for landfill disposal), synthesis gas (cleaned and potentially used for energy recovery), and minor amounts of air pollution control residues. The process achieves very high destruction efficiency with minimal secondary waste.
