HI’s PBPV System: |
|
The
ultimate waste disposal process |
|
Outdates all existing technologies |
|
Redefines the definition of recycling |
|
|
|
|
|
Will include the processing and/or the
destruction of medical (infectious) and hazardous (chemical) waste streams
... |
|
Causing vitrification
of the waste
into a non-leachable, non-hazardous, non-toxic,
reusable glassy material |
|
And
produces reusable gasses |
|
|
|

A single 40’ semi-tractor trailer has the
capacity to hold: |
|
6 to 8 tons (12,000 to 16,000 lbs.) of medical
waste |
|
A single local 20’-24’-28’ delivery truck has
the capacity to hold: |
|
1 to 3 tons (1,000 to 2,500 lbs.) of medical
waste |
|
HI will process from 4 to 5 semi-tractor
trailers a day |
|
A single HI System will process: |
|
36 tons a day (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) |
|
3,000 pounds an hour |
|
50
pounds a minute (equivalent to 6 gallons of water) |
|
HI’s furnace size - inside chamber dimensions
are 8’ x 6’ x 7’ |
|
A 336 cubic foot processing area, with 2’ thick
walls surrounding the processing chamber, inside a 1” thick stainless steel
casing |
|
It’s equivalent to unleashing 2 million watts of
energy inside a small mini-van! |
|
As compared to - Ogden-Martin’s facility in Indy
(3 - 750 ton a day incinerators) has the capacity to process over 2,250
tons of MSW a day |

Our Problems |
|
Vs. |
|
Our Solutions! |
|
|
|
|
|
With the approach of the 21st century, we are
facing some very serious challenges in the field of waste management … |
|
We need to ask ourselves: |
|
Isn’t it time we start taking our waste disposal
business more seriously, and think long-term instead of short-term ? |
|
Isn’t it time we stop using outdated
technologies that have proven to be inadequate at destroying the waste ? |
|
Isn’t it time we stop placing future generations
at risk, when the technology is available “NOW” to cost effectively solve the problem ? |
|
|
|
|
|
Disposal methods of the past ... |
|
Disposal methods of the present … |
|
Incinerators, autoclaves, rotary kilns, |
|
microwaves, chemical disinfectant, etc. ... |
|
The remaining residues (sometimes hazardous)
from these technologies are shipped
to local landfills after processing. |
|
Incinerators are being forced to close primarily
due to new Federal EPA Regulations on toxic air contaminants ... |
|
Landfills are full & closing at an alarming
rate … |
|
Fact: All landfills eventually leach into the
ground water and contaminate the air. |
|
|
|
|
|
The volume of medical and hazardous waste
generated continues to grow … |
|
Hospitals want out of the waste business … |
|
Generators maintain a lifetime of legal
liability from the waste they generate ... |
|
Existing “alternative technologies fail to resolve the
long-term problem … |
|
Offering only short-term solutions … |
|
Industry and Government have not encouraged new
and innovative technologies that offer a better, safer method of waste
disposal … |
|
|
|
|
|
HI’s PBPV System - converts waste streams in
a highly reducing environment
(absence of air) converting organic material into useful gases, and
inorganics into a vitrified aggregate (glass) that is non-toxic,
non-leachable, and non-hazardous. |
|
The most unique aspect of HI’s PBPV System is
the ability to easily surpass incineration destruction levels without the pollution inherent in the combustion
process or have hazardous residues leftover from the process. |
|
HI’s PBPV System is electrically-driven and
relies on
pyrolysis/vitrification (as opposed to combustion). This
technology is acceptable where incineration would never be allowed,
such as metropolitan areas in California and Indiana . |
|
|
|
|
|
|
HI’s next generation Plasma-Based Pyrolysis/
Vitrification System, or “HI’s System”, enables communities and local
industries to be more environmentally responsible for their own waste
streams … |
|
HI’s System: |
|
Virtually eliminates the waste it processes - |
|
The only proven technology that can |
|
Terminates the lifetime liability and leaves
safe, reusable
by-products … |
|
Is the ultimate recycling solution …. Elimination!! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
HI’s System eliminates the need for landfills … |
|
The vitrified glass is reused in other products,
such as; |
|
an aggregate in fence posts, parking lot stops,
park benches, road-bed construction, landscaping,
decorative bricks and blocks, etc. ... |
|
HI’s System virtually eliminates toxic air
contaminants (TAC’s) from being released into the environment … |
|
All of the gases produced will be used for
other industrial processes, such
as; |
|
the production of methanol, electricity, steam
or energy recovery for
HI’s facility ... |
|
This technology is the solution ... This project is a necessary beginning ... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
In business cheaper is not always better - in the long-term or the
short-term ... |
|
You may have heard that you usually get what you
pay for - disposing of waste is no exception … |
|
Some may believe that short-term technologies
are less expensive than plasma energy ... |
|
But are they really cheaper or less expensive ? |
|
The history of closing and maintaining landfills
is an expensive process, costing
communities tens of millions of
unexpected dollars over a lifetime ... |
|
Post closure funds usually do not cover future
costs, hidden costs, and changing
requirements - is this cheaper ? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Landfills leak: killing fish & birds,
contaminating the food supply, and
causing cancer in humans - is this cheaper ? |
|
|
|
|
|
Most of the airborne dioxins from incinerators
and cement kilns fall back to the earth and contaminate vegetation, soils,
our water supply, our food supply, and also cause cancer - is this cheaper
? |
|
Even whales, polar bears, and people living in
the Arctic, far from any industry,
now carry extremely high levels of dioxins, PCBs, and other carcinogen's in
their body tissue. These super poisons are being transported long distances
in the atmosphere, rivers, and ocean currents - is this cheaper ? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Consider all the facts ... |
|
It is clear, existing short-term technologies: |
|
are not safe ... |
|
are not effective ... |
|
and ultimately, are not less expensive … |
|
The facts are, HI’s System: |
|
Is the safest method of waste disposal … |
|
Eliminates virtually all the waste that it
processes ... |
|
Is an environmentally sustainable technology ... |
|
Eliminates the need for landfills … |
|
Eliminates all lifetime liabilities ... |
|
And ultimately, is the most cost effective
technology … |
