MSE is a leader in the field of plasma technology for military waste treatment including ordnance waste. Our group develops and deploys technologies to resolve Department of Energy, Department of Defense, and commercial waste problems. We have completed more than 80 projects at 26 facilities in 21 states. We provide complete plasma services and testing facilities including mobile units.

 

Plasma technology uses the intense heat of an electric arc to treat the most difficult waste such as nuclear waste, military waste, and chemical waste. The intense heat of the plasma arc destroys all organic constituents and immobilizes all inorganic constituents into an extremely stable glassy slag.

 

Involved in developing plasma technology since 1989, we offer equipment and experience that few other companies can. We have deployed two plasma waste treatment systems for the U.S. Army -- one in Nevada and the other in West Virginia. We designed, built, and tested these systems at our test facility, the MSE Mike Mansfield Advanced Technology Center. At our plasma test facility, we have successfully tested U.S. pyrotechnic devices, hazardous waste, and simulated nuclear waste. We have also performed offgas emissions testing following EPA protocols.
