Startech Environmental Corp. announced that its associate company, Sicmar International Panama S. A. signed a contract with the city of Las Tablas, Panama, securing land and waste for a 200-ton-per-day Plasma Converter Facility. Startech produces plasma converters and is in the final stages of contracting to sell to Sicmar its proprietary plasma processing equipment known as the Plasma Converter System.
A plasma converter is essentially controlled lightning that produces temperatures in excess of 35,000 degrees Fahrenheit (three times hotter than the sun) to render every kind of substance into its harmless component molecules. In the process it transforms organic materials into Plasma Converted Gas (PCG) which is a valuable both as an energy source and as a raw material for a variety of industry products.
Recently, St. Lucie County Florida announced plans to build a $425 million - 3,000 ton per day facility to meet its waste disposal needs, generate electricity and eventually eliminate the waste in its old landfill.

About Startech -- an Environment and Energy Company Startech Environmental is an environment and energy industry company engaged in the production and sale of its innovative, proprietary plasma processing equipment known as the Plasma Converter System(TM).
The Plasma Converter System safely and economically destroys wastes, no matter how hazardous or lethal, and turns them into useful and valuable products. In doing so, the System protects the environment and helps to improve the public health and safety. The System achieves closed-loop elemental recycling to safely and irreversibly destroy Municipal Solid Waste, organics and inorganics, solids, liquids and gases, hazardous and non-hazardous waste, industrial by-products and also items such as "e-waste," medical waste, chemical industry waste and other specialty wastes while converting many of them into useful commodity products that can include metals and a synthesis-gas called Plasma Converted Gas (PCG)(TM).
Among the many commercial uses for PCG, it can be used to produce "green power electricity," Gas To Liquid (GTL) fuels such as ethanol, synthetic diesel fuel and other higher alcohol fuels. Hydrogen, for use and sale, can also be separated from the PCG synthesis gas mixture.
The Startech Plasma Converter is essentially a manufacturing system producing commodity products from feedstocks that were previously regarded as wastes. Startech regards all wastes, hazardous and non-hazardous, as valuable renewable resources.
