RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Peter, Kurilla A1 Natália, Jasminská A1 Peter, Horbaj T1 Opportunities and Limitations of Gasification of Peat in Plasma Reactor JF Acta Mechanica Slovaca YR 2012 VO 16 IS 3 SP 20 OP 25 UL https://www.actamechanica.sk/artkey/ams-201203-0003.php AB This article analyzes the gasification process of peat mass for the large-scale devices and it discusses consequent utilization of the synthesis gas in terms of recovering energy of this gas in a cogeneration unit. The experiment was realized in 80 kVA plasma reactor with dependent plasma arc. The nitrogen was used as inert gas to a plasma arc created. The main aim of these experiments was the generation energy efficiently, reducing the time required to destroy molecules of the treated waste, the elimination of emissions and streamline of the degradation process Compared to the conventional methods of thermal processing.
