Welcome to Steel MC Corporation
Innovation, Experience & Expertise
Performance & Productivity
Steel MC C.A. is assuming the challenge to build a better world. We offer the ultimate Waste to Energy technology to the international market: Plasmatronic® AC Plasma Gasification. Plasmatronic® is the most accessible and effective waste to energy conversion technology in the market.
In partnership with the Institute of Electrophysics and Electric Power of the Russian Academy of Science – the IEE RAS – and International EPC companies, we assemble turnkey waste to energy projects with Plasmatronic® to secure social impact.
After more than 30 years of research, the IEE RAS is the world-leading institute in the development of plasma technologies (electrophysics, plasma physics, aerodynamics, power engineering and electrical engineering). Our exclusive partnership with the IEE RAS fully enables us to design, carry out, build equipment and train staff projects of Plasmatronic® AC Plasma Gasification worldwide.
We offer treatment solutions for waste to energy, supertoxic destruction and hazardous medical waste treatment. Our turnkey project services comprise research & development, engineering designs, construction, training and commissioning.
Plasmatronic® offers the opportunity for municipalities, companies and countries to become self-sufficient in their energy supply by converting their own waste into electricity or diesel. The composition of the SYNGAS can be compatible with different downstream processing systems. No water has to be pre-treated. It can also be combined with Natural Gas, for example, to take advantage of existing plants to optimize electric production. The use of multiple reactors for large projects improve and increase the overall gasification system and avoid any development risks. Take a tour of the plant the IEE RAS has had in operation since 2005 accompanied by IEE RAS Dr. Rutberg (feature by Technology Update ends 6:42”).
AC Plasma Gasification is a process that converts carbon (organic) materials such as municipal solid waste, and other types of waste such as coal, and petroleum into synthesis gas (syngas), under very controlled conditions of heat and oxygen. Plasma gasification is NOT combustion. The chemical reactions in the plasma gasification process converts waste or other materials into simple molecules and atoms, whereas incineration creates complex and toxic substances, including dioxins and furans.
Fourth state of the matter.
Only plasma technology to use alternating current torches (AC) rather than direct current torches (DC). This converts carbon content into Syntesis Gas (Syngas).
Mainly composed of CO and H.
As a result of AC torches, Plasmatronic® reaches high levels of efficiency (~94%).
A State of the Art and U.S.A. patented plasma gasification technology.
Plasmatronic® AC plasma gasification contributes to the reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases such as CO2 or CH4; recovers dumps and landfills; solves electric shortages and decreases the reliance on non-renewable resources.
With Plasmatronic® we can produce more electricity and more fuels than any other plasma gasification development.
Plasmatronic®’s ability to control the plasma and maintain it away from the chamber walls result in a cooler and more practical operating system. This allows the torches to work under extreme temperatures without affecting the outside temperature of the reactor. Losses that would otherwise occur in the power supply are dramatically reduced. The AC torches have an additional operational advantage of hundreds of hours without need for maintenance.
Plasmatronic® is able to convert waste to energy at the highest efficiency levels thanks to our patented Alternating Current (AC) torches system - at a rate of ~94% compared to Direct Current undisclosed percentage. AC torches increase efficiency and productivity, by reducing Direct Current-related instability, loss of power and O&M costs. The electrode lifespan of AC torches is up to 2,000 hours compared to <200 hours of DC torches.
Our mission is to support the world’s emerging and newly industrialized economies, so they can finally have access to alternative energy sources and cost efficient technologies, thus decreasing the great dependence on unstably priced fossil fuels.
Philip Rutberg, who conducted the IEE RAS from its beginning, was awarded the Peter Marks Medal in 2008 for his contribution in developing the Electromagnetic Launch technology and the Global Energy Prize in 2011, in recognition for his Plasma Energy technology research and fundamental developmental work.

The Plasmatronic® technology works with and converts MSW into electricity, liquid fuels such as diesel, heat energy and slag (a vitrified byproduct that is extremely useful in civil construction). Thanks to our Alternating Current (AC) torches, Plasmatronic® produces 50% more electricity and 3.7 times more diesel than any other plasma technologies.
Plasmatronic® also treats:
Plasmatronic® is capable of destroying liquid super toxic, including PCB´s and dangerous waste, without any pollution. Used for chemical and nuclear weapon destruction after the Cold War, our exclusive layout brings to the world the opportunity to avoid massive environmental liabilities.
Plasmatronic® is also able to disintegrate hazardous medical waste. A special layout ensures its total destruction without harmful ash going into the landfill. We supervise the waste collection and assemble the destruction cycle, bringing maximum environmental security.
Steel CORP. C.A. is the liaison between the IEE RAS and any interested parties. The IEE RAS is the world-leading institute in the design, development, and study of the multiple phases of the plasma torches: both short-term capacity and continuous operation, capable of operating in different environments, including oxidation. The Institute has established links with an amalgam of Russians and other international research institutions.
Plasmatronic® plants are designed and built according to the specific requirements of each client. That is, depending on the amount and type of waste to be processed, as well as the desired end product (either electric or fuel), the plant will be designed to meet those requirements.
Thanks to our EPC international alliances we can build customized facilities as well as train professionals and staff. We ultimately commission all of our projects to fruition and until they are fully operating.
