Abstract

Disclosed herein are novel devices, systems, and methods for resource recovery from various feed streams, including both liquid and solid waste streams. Specifically disclosed is a plasma gasification unit and/or system operated or controlled by artificial intelligence (AI). The AI can utilize reinforcement learning (RL) processes to adjust operational parameters for maximizing efficiency and/or output. The plasma gasification unit and/or system may be modular and/or mobile, with portions sized such that they may be contained in one or more shipping containers. The plasma gasification unit and/or system may also include one or more plasma gasification chambers, and uses electrical energy to form a high temperature plasma arc that gasifies feed materials (e.g., brine, brackish water, plastics) into saleable products (e.g., hydrogen, syngas and other fuels, methanol, ammonia, urea).
