Proler International Corp. recycling today for tomorrow's needs.


HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 20, 1995--Proler Environmental Services The various combinations of scientific, technical, and advisory activities (including modification processes, i.e., the influence of manmade and natural factors) required to acquire, produce, and supply information on the past, present, and future states of space, atmospheric,  Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Proler International Corp., has received a U.S. Patent for a gasification gas·i·fy

Syngas (from synthesis gas) is the name given to a gas mixture that contains varying amounts of carbon monoxide and hydrogen generated by the gasification of a carbon containing fuel to a gaseous product with
 Process, this method of recycling surpasses current technologies because of its ability to process numerous and mixed feedstocks, including hazardous and special wastes, with virtually no emissions.

The Proler SynGas Process offers industries an environmentally-responsible recycling alternative to incineration incineration

 and landfilling while producing a synthesis gas which can be used as an industrial fuel or used to produce electricity. The process can efficiently and successfully handle many hazardous and special wastes which cannot be managed by conventional methods due to environmental concerns. This "No Smokestack" technology offers its users a design which produces minimal releases into the environment because the feed material is reformed in the process to become part of the syngas product.

The process can recycle hazardous and special wastes like automobile shredder residue, medical wastes, hydrocarbon-contaminated sludges and soils, petroleum refining waste sludges, and chemical solutions and solvents, as well as municipal solid wastes “Municipal waste” redirects here. For other uses, see Municipal waste (disambiguation).
Municipal solid waste (MSW) is a waste type that includes predominantly household waste (domestic waste) with sometimes the addition of commercial wastes collected by a
 and sludges, recycled cardboard residue and paper mill sludges, tires, agriculture and food industry wastes, wood chips, and industrial solid wastes and sludges.

This patented process thermally reforms hydrocarbon and cellulose-based wastes by utilizing a specially-designed rotary reactor and oxygen/fuel system to produce a high-temperature gaseous product which dynamically reacts with various feed material. The process melts, decomposes, vaporizes and dissociates the feed material and reforms the resultant organic vapors into high-quality synthesis gas.
