Pilot plant in Hofors, Sweden
ScanArc's laboratory facilities and pilot plant is located in Hofors, Sweden. These facilities are one of the most advanced in the world regarding nontransferred plasma systems. Their personnel represent many years of experience in development, implementation and operation of processes and applications in non-transferred plasma arc systems.
The facility comprises both a PyroArc and a VitroArc pilot plant. Each of the plants is fully equipped to treat waste in continuous operation.
The VitroArc plant has an hourly capacity of 1 tonne of fly ash. The PyroArc pilot plant has a capacity of 700 kg of waste per hour, dependant on the bulk density of the waste material.
The pilot plants have been used to successfully demonstrate complete decomposition of chlorinated hydrocarbons, including PCB, and decomposition of compounds containing NO3-, NHx or CN-groups without incurring NOx-formation. The following waste materials have been treated successfully:
 |
· Household waste
· Impregnated wood, CCA and creosote
· Tires
· "Car fluff"
· Electronic waste
· Refrigerators
· Simulated hospital waste
· Chlorinated hydrocarbons
· PCB
· Freon
· Batteries
· Oil filter
