Abstract

At Kaiser Permanente in San Diego, plasma pyrolysis will be used instead of incineration to treat hospital waste without creating corrosive gases, PVCs or groundwater-contaminating ash. Here's why plasma pyrolysis offers so much promise for waste treatment and why hospitals should follow this project closely.
