CALGARY, Jan. 28, 2014 /CNW/ - Alter NRG Corp. ("Alter NRG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has successfully commissioned the Westinghouse Plasma torch systems and participated in the recent Grand Opening of an incinerator ash vitrification facility (the "Facility") constructed by GTS Energy in Shanghai, China. The facility is co-located with Shanghai Environmental, a subsidiary of large, state-owned enterprise Shanghai Chengtou Holding Co. Ltd., who operates businesses that transport domestic wastes to landfills and incinerators.  The recent Grand Opening of the Facility was well attended by local media, environmental groups, interested incineration and other industrial companies, as well as government officials.

According to Dean Mao, Deputy General Manager of GTS Energy, "GTS has successfully commissioned the plasma torch systems with the support of Alter NRG. The success of the torch commissioning was a very important, key step in the success of the project. The project has been well received in China and was highlighted at the World Environmental Protection Exposition held in Beijing in July 2013.  Since that event the project has generated significant interest in China and we believe the project will establish a new way for solid waste treatment in China."

In China and many other countries, incinerator ash is considered a hazardous waste which is a growing, expensive problem that requires special treatment which can cost up to $USD300 per tonne.  The Westinghouse Plasma Technology is able to treat the ash, turning the majority of it into a benign glass-like slag that can be used in other industries such as construction.  The plasma gasifier can increase incinerator facility revenues by taking other high tipping fee feedstocks such as medical and hazardous waste as well as creating additional syngas or steam which increases the electrical output.

Walter Howard, Chief Executive Officer of Alter NRG states that "this is a significant reference Facility that opens up immediate market opportunities in China and rest of the world.  Alter NRG retains the worldwide IP and distribution rights for a solution that improves the economics of incinerators, as well as reducing their environmental footprint.  With the increasing regulations and scrutiny on incineration emissions, we believe that this will be a significant market opportunity as we provide an economical solution to the existing 3,000 or more incinerators worldwide."
