Abstract
Thermal plasma melting technology is an innovative technology, which takes the advantages to incinerate the organic parts of wastes for detoxification and volume reduction, and to vitrify the non-organic counter parts simultaneously into durable and valuable slag. Radioactive and hazardous wastes have to be converted into stable and non-hazardous forms with maximum volume reduction for safe and economic disposal or recycling. The thermal plasma technology to radioactive and hazardous wastes have been explored and developed for decade in Taiwan. Owing to the technique becoming sophisticated and the needs of environment market, the thermal plasma is sought as a desirable solution for waste treatment without secondary pollution.
Based on the situation of technique and market, application of the thermal plasma melting technology was explored objectively and deeply via the views of technology and environment demands.
1. To analyze the strengths and the weaknesses for developing and applying thermal plasma technology in Taiwan.
2. To examine the opportunity and the competitiveness of thermal plasma technology industrialized domestically.
3. To analyze the development strategy for thermal plasma melting technology in Taiwan.
4. To highlight the development outlooks for the future and to propose some suggestive plans.
By means of Five Forces Analysis and SWOT Analysis, we contrast the competitive environment and better understand the industry context before forming the industrialization strategy of thermal plasma melting technology. Being instrumental in strategy formulation and selection, an enterprise has to make efforts to be a better understanding of how to leverage the strengths to take advantage of perceived opportunities or to respond to threats and how to compensate for known weaknesses. A scan of the internal and external environment is an important part of the strategic planning process. For seeking the perfect strategy of developing thermal plasma industrialization, the SWOT analysis provides information that is helpful in matching resources and capabilities to the competitive environment.
According to advantage analysis and economics analysis in this study, the thermal plasma melting technology developed at home possesses all of key success factors to speed up development and application.
1. Plasma torch, core technique of plasma melting technology, leads to the development of thermal plasma industry. Possessing the engineering experience and the capability of design, operation, maintenance, and training, the technique owner increases his competitiveness ability substantially.
2. Besides the plasma vitrification demo-plant, high-power plasma torch testing center, thermal plasma process development center and vitreous slag recycling development center are also established by government support. The plasma industry development platform has been set to enhance the vision and strategy of sustainable development.
3. Incineration ash and radioactive waste have to be treated safely and efficiently. From the view of market trend thermal plasma melting technology is a proper technique and coincides with the principle of national recycling strategy.
4. The domestic market with economic scale is formed and beneficial to plasma technology development. The government ought to offer the opportunity to aid and develop domestic sustainable industry. Don’t repeat mistakes of the past, which the foreign companies dominated the whole incinerator market.
To consider the industrialization of thermal plasma technology, the strategy has to satisfy with and conform to the needs of market and environment. The strategy orients toward proper treatment, efficient operation, resource recycling, and co-existing ecological environment system. The strategies are as follows:
1. To organize a plasma technology promotion company activating policy of “First-mover Advantage” is one of strategies to develop domestic niche. The first plasma melting demo-plant of incineration ash ought to be built by government.
2. To join capabilities of manufacture and engineering construction with the core technology of thermal plasma, through technology enhancement and transformation with government patronage policy, the existing firms corporate horizontally and integrate vertically to build up new value chains instead of destroying original value chains. It will definitely help revive industry transformation and reach to another development peak due to the presence of thermal plasma technology.
3. To exploit the technique and market of recycling products, to speed up establishing the CNS norms for reusable slag, and to enlarge the scope of recycling application. By enacting standards of quality and verification, make the recycling product meet green quality and be utilized in the public engineering construction and civil consumer market.
4. To promote the extensive application of thermal plasma melting technology and to innovate the plasma technique to convert waste into energy.
