Abstract: A high power DC steam plasma torch system (S) includes a steam plasma torch assembly (1) wherein superheated steam (46) is used as the main plasma forming gas, thereby resulting in a very reactive steam plasma plume. The superheated steam (46) is injected internally directly into the plasma plume via a ceramic lined steam feed tube (25) for reducing condensation of steam before reaching the plasma plume. The superheated steam (46) flows through a gas vortex (16) which has tangentially drilled holes thereby resulting in a high speed gas swirl that minimizes electrode erosion. In the present steam plasma torch system (S), the plasma torch assembly (1) is ignited using an ignition contactor which is housed external to the plasma torch assembly (1). The superheated steam (46) is injected into the plasma plume using a water cooled steam vortex generator assembly (15).

Abstract: Examples of distributed workload management are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a partial data table is received from a main data table. A data view is generated in real time in response to a received data view request. The data view is based at least in part on a plurality of data view configuration properties and the partial data stored in the received partial data table. The partial data table stores data that represents at least a partial copy of main data stored in a main data table. The partial data table and the main data table are then synchronized.
