THE PROBLEM: High Costs. Environmental Harm.
Landfills. Incineration. Plasma Gasification. Every method adopted by the waste management industry to date has proven to be far too costly and damaging to the environment. None of the methods are truly cost-effective, or zero-emission.
The Solution: NO BURNING. NO BURYING.
In 2018 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approved The BlackHOLE®, the waste industry’s first verified low-cost, 100% emission-free, solid waste processing solution.
The EPA has never before approved technology in this class.
The innovative machine, used successfully by municipal clients in Asia since 2013, is based on TeslaGREEN’s own trademarked technology, patented in 152 countries. No incineration is involved.
To clarify, the ingenious plasma state–induced, hydrogen-splitting technology does not rely on burning, as do older, seemingly similar technologies, to molecularly transform waste matter (MSW & Biomass) down to its basic elements. It’s a much smarter technology that takes municipal solid waste processing far beyond incineration & plasma gasification.
Been There, Done That
Industry pros have seen many promising, yet disappointing, technologies come and go. TeslaGREEN’s BlackHOLE®, however, is the first to do what it promises: Dramatically Lower Costs.
How?
The BlackHOLE® became possible after TeslaGREEN finally solved a problem that had perplexed science for over a century. When TeslaGREEN scientists discovered a way to maintain a low-heat plasma state, the door to the future of waste processing had been opened. In contrast, a high-heat plasma state, like that generated in older, inefficient waste technology, creates too many problems, high costs being only one. The low-heat plasma state achieved in the BlackHOLE®–and maintained by feeding solid waste–can be found in no other technology previously introduced. It is the key reason why The BlackHOLE® is the first technology of its kind to be approved by the EPA.
Advantages of BlackHOLE®
- Portability/Size – Its small size and mobility greatly reduce the cost of transporting and storing waste. BlackHOLE® can be set up at a transfer station, landfill, manufacturer, scrapping/shredding facility, processing plant/mill, hospital, entertainment venue, university, on a ship (commercial or military), or wherever waste is generated or collected, and transform virtually any matter down to its basic elements, right on site
- Variable Sizes – Machines range in size from as much as 1,000 tons/24 hours, down to 100kg/day. Multiple machines can easily operate in one location if tonnage demands
- Significantly Lower Cost – It is offered at a small fraction of the cost of competing technologies, including far lower operating & maintenance costs, compared with large processing facilities that burn waste
- No Power – Astonishingly, BlackHOLE® is self-sustaining and requires no external power or fuel to run continuously for weeks at a time
- Full Automation (PlasmaTRON® version) – There are no moving parts inside, and the machine requires very little maintenance. With the latest version, known as the PlasmaTRON®, there is no need for a large, costly plant run by many dozens of expensive, highly-trained staff; rather, the BlackHOLE® requires only a handful of hourly, non-technical manpower with one manager to feed a conveyor belt and watch over the simple operation
- Carbon-Free Electricity (WTE) – Verified, profitable byproducts include over 65mwh of electricity (about as much as a nuclear power plant), valuable bio-oil, and high-quality ceramic ash for use in brick and cement (unlike useless fly ash generated by incineration plants). See more on WTE capabilities below.
- Zero-Emission/Carbon-Free – There is no burning of waste, so it is smoke-free and odorless. The 100% clean emissions have been tested & verified by numerous environmental organizations to contain no nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, dioxins or furans
- No Sorting – Virtually all types of waste, Wet or Dry, can be fed into a BlackHOLE®, with no segregation required
- Small Footprint – Requires only the size of a large room, as opposed to a large facility
- Low Temp – Incinerators operate at high temperatures and require a costly secondary combustion system. BlackHOLE® does not require higher temperatures as it has the unique feature of Plasmic Decomposition.
Type Of Waste BlackHOLE® Accepts:
ANY WASTE, Wet or Dry!
- Household Trash, All Plastics, All Paper, Wood
- Light Bulbs, Computers, TVs, All Other E-Waste
- Construction/Demolition Materials, Including Asbestos, Cement
- Rubber/Tires, All Sized Batteries, Insulation and Styrofoam
- Industrial Waste and Hazardous Chemicals
- Medical Waste: Needles, Scalpels, Infectious Materials
- Paint Cans, Soda Cans, All Other Aluminum
- Heavier Metals Are Transformed Into Fine Ceramic Ash (not Fly Ash), It Simply Takes Longer Inside The Machine
- There are virtually NO limitations!
Prove It!
How can we prove these claims, especially since there have been similar claims with disappointing results? Today, TeslaGREEN is just beginning operations outside of Asia, as it took several years to attain U.S. EPA approval and permits. The EPA had never before approved a technology like this.
BlackHOLE®’s promise to inexpensively and cleanly transform the world’s waste may seem like a fantasy. However, it is far beyond the concept stage. Since 2013, it has been used by municipalities in Asia with great results.
For example, a landfill in the Ladakh region of India is currently being “eaten” by a BlackHOLE® at far lower per ton cost than another tech, and without any harmful emissions released. Additionally, many other waste management customers in India, Indonesia, and Malaysia are benefiting from low-cost, 100% emission-free processing. Customers are running machines as small as 1 ton/day to as large as 1,000tpd. (TeslaGREEN plans on producing 10,000tpd machines in the near future)
A relatively low purchase cost, along with drastically lower operating & maintenance costs… combined with technology that actually does what it promises, make The BlackHOLE® the first “breakthrough” waste management technology worthy of investment.
Zero-Emission. How?
Dioxins, Furans, Parabens, and all other gaseous products, are dissociated within the main chamber of a BlackHOLE® machine, then converted to ionized oxygen, which in turn maintains low-plasmic heat.
Any remaining gaseous emissions from the machine are passed through a customized three-stage wet scrubber. The scrubber allows the output gaseous emission from the chimney to be smokeless, odorless, and 100% non-toxic, all EPA-regulated.
Where To Use BlackHOLE?
Transfer StationLandfillManufacturer/BusinessResidentialShipping
BlackHOLE may be placed in a Transfer Station to save tipping fees & operating costs including transportation.
Converting Waste to Valuable Energy (WTE)
BlackHOLE® may be used in 2 ways. First, simply as a way to process waste in a clean, cheap manner. However, if desired, an abundance of electricity –up to 65mwh per machine (about as much as nuclear)— may be harnessed for sale back to the grid. BlackHOLE® generates abundant Carbon-Free Electricity at costs far lower than anything else.
Additionally, The BlackHOLE® is the only kind of machine that can generate bio-diesel/lubricating oil/T-Tar for laying roads and cement/bricks from demolition waste. We generate bio-diesel from not only plastics but also from tires, unlike other bio-diesel plants. Compared with incineration and plasma gasification, BlackHOLE® is far less expensive, and it generates more electricity per ton.
