This paper gives an overview of Plasma Arc Technology (PAT), how it works, and whether it is a pyrolysis or combustion process. Arc generators and their applications are described along with examples of successful waste treatment applications. This paper also evaluates the economic impact and the advantages of using PAT systems. This paper concludes with a description of a PAT system that is being used to destroy military wastes, and describes the task plan, the selection process for the waste materials, and the Plasma Arc Centrifugal Treatment (PACT-2) system.
