Abstract
A device for converting harmful waste products into environmentally friendly discharge is provided. The discharge, as a result of the waste destruction process, meets or exceeds the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards. The device includes a waste disposal chamber where a crucible is positioned. The crucible is configured to retain a removable basket that is heated via induction heating. The waste residing within the removable basket is then vaporized and ionized within a vacuum to form a waste gas that is drawn through an accelerated jet of thermal plasma via vacuum suction. Once the waste gas passes through the plasma, it passes through a discharge duct where it is condensed by a heat exchanger and exhausted into the environment surrounding the device.
