Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include a system, method, and apparatus comprising a direct steam generator configured to generate saturated steam or superheated steam and combustion exhaust constituents. A CONVAPORATOR™ Unit (CU) can be fluidly coupled to the direct steam generator. The CU can be configured to route the saturated steam or superheated steam and combustion exhaust constituents through a condenser portion of the CU via a condenser side steam conduit and can be configured to condense the super-heated steam or saturated steam to form a condensate. A separation tank and water return system can be fluidly coupled to a condenser side condensate conduit of the condenser portion of the CU. The separation tank and water return system can be configured to separate the combustion exhaust constituents from the condensate. An evaporator portion of the CU can be fluidly coupled with the separation tank and water return system via an evaporator side condensate conduit.

Abstract: A system comprising a plasma assisted vitrifier (8) configured to produce vitrified product. A feed pipe (4) can be fluidly connected to the plasma assisted vitrifier (8). The feed pipe (4) can be configured to deliver a feedstock into the plasma assisted vitrifier. A heated combustion air conduit (34) can be fluidly connected to the plasma assisted vitrifier (8). A spinning fiberizer can be disposed next to the plasma assisted vitrifier (8) and configured to receive the vitrified product (24). An emissions attenuation device can be fluidly connected to the plasma-assisted vitrifier (8) and configured to treat gaseous emissions generated by the plasma-assisted vitrifier (8).
