Vision Plasma Systems, Inc. Appoints Dr. Marco Fiorello as Chief Scientist for Senior Advisory Board

RENO, NV--(Marketwire - Jun 18, 2012) - Vision Plasma Systems, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: [ VLNX ]) today announced the appointment of Dr. Marco Fiorello as Chief Scientist on the Senior Advisory Board. Dr. Fiorello holds Bachelor of Science degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Production Management, an MBA, and a PhD in Operations Research and Information Science, all from the University of California, Berkeley.

Dr. Fiorello is a senior scientist with 30 years of practical experience in project management, decision support system design and implementation, operations research analysis for military and commercial applications, cost-benefit and risk analyses, and research and development of advanced alternative energy technologies for industrial, municipal and hazardous waste conversion and remediation.

His primary specialty is in thermodynamic analyses of energy conversion processes for efficient and clean energy technologies, including geothermal energy conversion and advanced technology waste to energy systems. Dr. Fiorello is currently working on the application of plasma gasification technology in the Arc Master I, to process municipal, industrial and military hazardous and non-hazardous waste streams in a cost-effective and environmentally sound manner. His contributions to the Arc Master I include energy mass balance, environmental test criteria, SCADA interface control management, overall operations life cycle management and future enhancement engineering specification and documentation.

The Arc Master I mobile unit, the first of its kind, was designed to deploy a clean and green remediation solution to various worldwide corporations, military, government, and municipal customers. The unit is capable of converting up to 5 tons per day of hazardous wastes and other matter into syngas, net electricity, recyclable metal ingot, without any air emissions or ash from the gasification process. Built inside two (2) ISO 40' metal containers, The Arc Master I can be easily transported by truck, rail, ship, or plane worldwide to provide a fast and mobile solution to the remediation of all forms of waste. The Arc Master I mobile unit is entirely self-powering, creating its own energy from the waste that it processes, and creating up to 240KW of usable electricity at the site.

Plasma Arc Gasification has been in operation since the 1970s, with numerous large scale fixed facilities operating worldwide. Plasma Arc Gasification is the safest and most effective way to eliminate all wastes, both hazardous and common municipal, and carries the added benefits of self-powering through the use of its own syngas, recovery of refined metals, and silica-based slag which can be used in ancillary building products. The plasma gasification process occurs in an oxygen starved reactor which creates zero emissions unlike that of incineration and pyrolysis operations which create harmful furans and dioxins. Plasma gasification has no flue and does not create an ash. Common incinerator ash is considered toxic and requires secondary containment and transportation is federally restricted.

About Vision Plasma Systems, Inc.
Vision Plasma Systems, Inc. is a designer, developer, and marketer of its proprietary mobile plasma arc gasification unit called the Arc Master I. The company is committed to providing affordable energy resource management for federal and commercial clients through sustainable and renewable energy technologies, land reclamation, products and services.
