A New Technology Based On:
STARTECH'S
Plasma Converter System

Overview:

       This website describes an up and coming fuel distrubution network that will focus mainly on Hydrogen Fuel for Cars, Trucks, Busses, etc. These vehicles can be easily converted to run on Hydrogen, one of the main output commodities from the Startech Plasma Converter. Hydrogen is the ultimate Green Fuel because the only byproduct left after it burns is water.
      Following is a detailed description of how the hydrogen is created by the amazing new
Green Technology, The Plasma Converter, which will transform virtually all waste products into an endless renewable energy resource!! A limitless resource who's ONLY BY-PRODUCTS are: clean electric power, pure water, and other clean gasses (Hydrogen and Syngas) & solids. All these products have considerable market value. This conversion process will save fortunes for municipalities and industries, both large and small. The current worldwide practice of depositing waste in landfills or toxic dumps will be eliminated and instead become a profitable way to: clean up the environment, generate clean electricity, desalinate water and also create other valuable commodity by-products.

       This "Carbon Anti-Footprint" will combine "Elemental Recycling", CO2 and Methane reduction, Green power generation, and pure clean drinking water. Imagine... re-defining waste, and transforming it into pure, clean energy and profit!! These profits will be significant, enough to pay for these Conversion Systems in 5 to 10 years. And after that break-even point, "Municipal Waste Management Districts" will be renamed: "Municipal Energy and Profit Generation Districts"!! (See: COST SAVINGS )

      Green Technology Consultant Stephen Valentino and associates are eager to share this unparalleled solution to the multiple environmental challenges which America and the World are facing. Pioneers in the new GREEN TECHNOLOGIES at STARTECH ENVIRONMENTAL CORP. have developed a PLASMA ENERGY BEAM (30,000°F) which is 3 times hotter than the surface of the sun (10,000°F). It will convert nearly anything, toxic or not, into clean, valuable substances while also generating large scale surplus energy and clean water. This system brings much needed relief to the widespread ecological crises of today:

      • The search for new foreign independent sources of Clean, Carbon-Free Power
      • World-wide increasing demands for water and shrinking supplies
      • The expanding generation of toxic and non-toxic waste products
      • Landfills are overburdened, yet cost-effective recycling options are still limited
      • Greenhouse gasses & other solid, liquid & gaseous pollutants threaten global weather and economies

      Solving these issues will lead directly to cost reductions for governmental and municipal operations, and private sector commerce, manufacturing and transportation. This will ultimately lower the cost of living, improve quality of life, and most importantly: address global climate change. Landfills emit more of the greenhouse gas methane than any other human-related source. And every year 130 million tons of America's trash ends up in landfills.

        The engineers and inventors at STARTECH have for over a decade been producing and refining this revolutionary Plasma Technology, and now are ready to implement this breakthrough environmental process, a process which reaches three times the temperature of the sun and all the competing technologies.

      Among the locations where STARTECH Converters are successfully operating: Connecticut, Maryland and Japan. Many countries are interested in the Plasma Converter, including: Panama, China, The United Kingdom, Canada, Russia, Brazil, Mexico, Italy, Romania and Venezuela. The first Converter was sold to the U.S. Army to dispose of chemical weapons at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland. The second Converter is working in Japan, disposing of PCB's. Several others are under construction in Europe. There is a LIVE demonstration unit in Connecticut. For more information, contact us!

      The U.S. Department Of Energy (D.O.E.) is one of many sources with multiple independent reviews and articles of the Startech Plasma Converter System. D.O.E. STARTECH LINKS»    See more on the LINKS page.

        Our challenge is to change the way the world re-uses and employs most discarded materials. What now is called waste actually will become a limitless, renewable resource. The array of products and services emanating from STARTECH'S core Plasma Converter technology, will bring about the large-scale generation of valuable fossil fuel alternatives, pure water and clean, useful solids.

      We have created a paradigm shift in environmental dynamics by eliminating toxic and non-toxic waste and greenhouse gasses on the one hand, and simultaneously generating green power and pure water. The accessibility to this will be implemented through the use of STARTECH'S enhanced business model which provides for joint development projects, engineering services, and direct equipment sales with after-sales support and service.

      The application of this technology for industries dealing with pollution and hazardous waste products, or municipalities struggling with landfill, water shortages and energy issues will truly be transformational.

Cost Savings Projections:

      Significant valuable resources are created from the use of the STARTECH Plasma Converter. For example, a 1000 tons-per-day of waste is processed at a typical large municipality. That operation's daily output could be hundreds of thousands Kilowatt hours, millions of gallons drinking water and millions of cubic feet of Hydrogen gas.

      In that typical 1000 tons-per-day operation, a $200 million Plasma Converter could pay for itself in well under 10 years. Here's how: Landfill usage "Tipping Fees" run from an average $35 to over $100 Per Ton in high population areas. These costs, along with hauling fees, could be reduced by up to $75 Per-Ton / Per-Day by Plasma-Converting the waste and selling the electric, water, gas, and solid by-products, instead of paying the costs of a landfill.

      This $75,000-Per-Day savings, comes to $27 Million Per Year, and $270 Million in 10 years. The operating costs and revenues from commodity sales will certainly rise over the years, and both trends will effectively shorten this payoff time. There's also the considerable value of clearing out landfills, restoring them to a pristine state, and selling them to commercial or residential interests. After the Plasma Converter is paid for, these cost savings then become a perpetual surplus of $27+ million per year. (In today's dollars).

      Significant unalterable events are driving demand for solutions like The Plasma Converter. They are:

      • Populations are rising in most nations
      • Waste output is generally increasing along with the costs of disposal and storage and heightened restrictions
      • Traditional solutions involving landfills and incineration are becoming environmentally unacceptable
      • A critical need for renewable resources: especially power and water, for sustaining local economies
      • The urgent world-wide need to provide alternatives to fossil fuels to stop and eventually reverse global climate change

Attention: California Municipalities:

      The STARTECH Plasma Converter™ can immediately meet (and exceed) 100% of AB 939 and upcoming SB 1020 regulations for landfill diversion. Also the recent loss of some recycling product buyers can be more than offset by recycling those products through the Converter, and marketing the commodity by-products from the Conversion process. New state regulations in other states would also make the STARTECH Plasma Converter™ the ideal solution for those municipalities.
