In Canada, 230 kg per capita of municipal solid waste (MSW) is generated annually, costing the Canadian government $85 per person in recycling, and 24.89 million tons of MSW are annually deposited from the Canadian provinces into the landfills which are accountable for 50% of wastes and emit 37.5 kg of methane per ton of MSW. Plasma Assisted Plastic to Oil process technology (PAP2O) offers an exceptional solution to the plastic waste management issues of the modern world, especially in terms of landfill elimination and extracting usable fuel and oil from plastic waste. Project goal is the development of plasma-based plastic to energy solution process technology for industrial applications based on post-consumer and post-industrial inputs. The proposed P2O unit consists of a 12 kW DC non-transferred arc thermal plasma torch having more than 90% efficiency, a 20-40 Liter high-pressure high-temperature thermochemical reaction chamber, and an advanced process control unit which can be applied for P2O and waste to energy. 3 main outcomes are considered together, which are lacking in current waste-to-energy, gasification, and pyrolysis solutions: high purity final output energy products; no creation of tar, ash, or other negative environmental externalities; net positive energy production. A conversion unit is the main step towards reaching the goal on a large scale: a DC non-transferred arc thermal plasma torch, advanced reaction chamber, and suitable control system will be combined to demonstrate the simple, compact, and economical advantages of using DC non-transferred arc thermal plasma torch for high quality plastic to energy process.

在加拿大，每年人均产生230公斤城市固体废物（MSW），加拿大政府在回收方面花费每人85美元，每年有2489万吨城市固体废物从加拿大各省倾倒到垃圾填埋场，这些填埋场占垃圾总量的50%，每吨城市固体废物排放37.5公斤甲烷。等离子体辅助塑料制油工艺技术（PAP 2 O）为现代世界的塑料废物管理问题提供了一个卓越的解决方案，特别是在消除垃圾填埋场和从塑料废物中提取可用燃料和石油方面。项目目标是开发基于等离子体的塑料能源解决方案工艺技术，用于基于消费后和工业后投入的工业应用。该P2 O装置由一个12 kW的直流非转移电弧热等离子体炬，具有超过90%的效率，一个20-40升的高压高温热化学反应室，和一个先进的过程控制单元，可以应用于P2 O和废物能源。综合考虑了目前垃圾发电、气化和热解解决方案所缺乏的三个主要成果：高纯度的最终输出能源产品;不产生焦油、灰分或其他负面环境外部性;净正能源生产。转换单元是实现大规模目标的主要步骤：直流非转移弧热等离子体炬，先进的反应室和合适的控制系统将结合起来，以展示使用直流非转移弧热等离子体炬进行高品质塑料能源加工的简单，紧凑和经济的优势。
