Abstract :
The electric arc equipment allows to rich the extreme temperatures in any technologies of carbon containing raw processing into gaseous products. In this connection our institutions are carry out the environment-friendly technology and equipment for steam plasma pyrolysis of medical waste. This technology makes available guarantee destroy of thermally-stable bacteria and excludes the formation of dioxins and furans. The conversion of the carbon containing raw into gaseous products may be seen as the next step in plasma steam technology development. The gaseous products, obtained in this process, may be used as alternative fuel or starting material for synthetic liquid fuels production. The modern level of fuels and energy supply price makes it economically attractive. The technology of alternative fuel production may be considered automatically as environment-friendly one as it developed from the equipment for medical waste destruction.
