Startech Hydrogen from Processing Waste to Produce Stationary Carbonless
Electrical Power
WILTON, Conn., Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Startech Environmental
Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: STHK), a fully reporting, internationally
recognized Award-winning Environment and Energy company, announced that it
has received its hydrogen engine that is being readied for demonstrations.
Startech Hydrogen, derived from processing waste in the Startech Plasma
Converter(TM), will be used as a pristine fuel to power the hydrogen-engine
to produce electricity.
Joseph F. Longo, Startech's president, said, "The Company plans to
produce and market its Carbonless Power System for 'Green Electricity' in
stationary facilities. We think it is important to appreciate the fact that
the Hydrogen-engine is a combination of the engine and the electric
generator in one package. It is not a fuel cell; it is a robust
internal-combustion reciprocal-engine very much like the well-proven engine
in your vehicle.
"While developments of hydrogen-powered vehicles are still progressing,
there is a compelling need and desire from our customers for a parallel
initiative to bring clean, hydrogen-fueled, stationary-electrical-power to
the market.
"Paradoxically, hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe,
but it is not readily available on earth, and has to be produced by
chemical-industry manufacturing systems. Hydrogen is also an important
ingredient in many commercial and industrial products. Our Plasma Converter
System (PCS)(TM), in processing most wastes, produces a synthesis gas that
we named Plasma Converted Gas (PCG)(TM). With many wastes, the hydrogen in
the PCG, can be separated as a pristine fuel within the Carbonless Power
System. This Startech Hydrogen can fuel engine-generators to produce 'Green
Electricity.'
"From wastes, the Plasma Converter can actually be the source of
Startech Hydrogen on site and in-house for our customers.
"When hydrogen, as a fuel, combines with air, the principal resulting
product is H2O, water. No carbon dioxide (CO2) results in the combustion
process since there are no carbons in hydrogen. With its roots in the Kyoto
Protocol, the burgeoning Carbon-Credit market and its focus on
'low-carbon-footprints,' means that this 'green' stationary electrical
power will not be merely a 'low-carbon-footprint;' it will be a
'No-Carbon-Footprint.'
"Last Summer, the Company successfully completed a three-year contract
for the US Department of Energy, in its Hydrogen Initiative, in a
comprehensive program demonstrating the production of hydrogen from
processing wastes in the Plasma Converter followed by our StarCell
(TM)system. StarCell is the Company's proprietary membrane-technology
system that separates the hydrogen from the PCG synthesis gas produced by
the Plasma Converter System."
About Startech -- The Environment and Energy Company
Startech is the internationally recognized, Award-winning Environment
and Energy Industry Company engaged in the production and sale of its
innovative, proprietary plasma processing equipment known as the Plasma
Converter System(TM).
The Plasma Converter System safely and economically destroys wastes, no
matter how hazardous or lethal, and turns most into useful and valuable
products. In doing so, the System protects the environment and helps to
improve the Public Health and Safety. The System achieves closed-loop
elemental recycling to safely and irreversibly destroy Municipal Solid
Waste, organics and inorganics, solids, liquids and gases, hazardous and
non-hazardous waste, industrial by-products and also items such as
"e-waste," medical waste, chemical industry waste and other specialty
wastes, while converting many of them into useful commodity products that
can include metals and a synthesis-gas called Plasma Converted Gas
(PCG)(TM).
Among the many commercial uses for PCG, is its use to produce
"Carbonless Power," Gas-To-Liquid (GTL) fuels such as ethanol, synthetic
diesel fuel and other higher alcohol "alternative" fuels. Hydrogen, for use
and sale, can also be separated and recovered from the PCG synthesis gas
mixture.
The Startech Plasma Converter is essentially a manufacturing system
producing valuable commodity products from feedstock-materials that were
previously regarded as wastes.
Startech regards all wastes, hazardous and non-hazardous, as valuable
renewable resources and as feedstocks.
