InEnTec LLC – Model G200 (Commercial Prototype) Richland, WA, USA InEnTec constructed a Model G200 PEM® at its Technology Center in Richland, Washington as the first commercial-scale prototype. This system was used in performance tests conducted by the Environmental Technology Evaluation Center (“EvTEC”). The EvTEC testing data served as the technical basis for the first-ever RCRA / TSCA Mixed Waste Permit issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. In the U.S., “mixed waste” often refers to a combination of hazardous and nuclear waste; TSCA waste includes PCB waste. The EvTEC data was also the basis for an “Equivalency Determination”, issued by U.S. EPA which contained EPA’s concurrence that the destructive effectiveness of the PEM® exceeds the mandated requirements that apply to hazardous waste incinerators, thus making the PEM® an “equivalent technology” for treating hazardous waste. The G200 began operating in June 1999 and was operated and tested for approximately one year before being dismantled. Parts of it were incorporated into the G200 system at ATG. |
