Startech Hydrogen From Processing Waste Can Produce Stationary Carbonless
Electrical Power
WILTON, Conn., Sept. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Startech Environmental
Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: STHK), a fully reporting, internationally
recognized Award-winning Environment and Energy company, announced today
that its hydrogen-fueled engine producing electricity is operational and
available for demonstrations at Startech's Tech Center in Bristol,
Connecticut.
Joseph F. Longo, Startech's president, said "The line-up has started
for demonstrations for our Customers, Distributors, Sales Representatives
and also for the media. They're going to like what they see.
"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 modular-package. It's not a fuel
cell; it is a robust internal-combustion reciprocal-engine very much like
the well-proven engine in your vehicle.
"Startech Hydrogen, derived by our StarCell(TM) system from processing
a wide variety of wastes in the Startech Plasma Converter(TM), is an
excellent, pristine fuel to power the Hydrogen-engine for electricity. Even
ordinary household waste, the most ubiquitous of all, is an excellent
source of Startech Hydrogen.
"While developments of hydrogen-powered vehicles are still progressing
and talked about, 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 a very 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 our Carbonless Power
System. This Startech Hydrogen can fuel engine-generators to produce 'Green
Electricity.'
"From wastes used as feed-stocks, 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 year, the Company successfully completed a three-year contract
for the US Department of Energy, in its Hydrogen Initiative Program, in a
comprehensive program demonstrating the production of hydrogen from
processing wastes in the Plasma Converter followed by our StarCell 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.
"Energy crisis or not, waste has been and always will be with us."
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.
