The Plasma converter processes the wastes (matter) in such a way that the elemental components of the feedback (the waste) can be recovered in from one to three distinct phases:

1) Synthesis gas (PCG, Plasma Converted Gas) that rise to the top of the chamber

2) Inorganic, glass-like silicates which form a separate layer above the liquid metal (if there is a sufficient quantity of metal in the feed stock, with small quantities of metal encapsulated in the silicate stone); and

3) Liquid metallic elements, if in sufficient quantities, which collect at the base of the chamber.
