  • Non-thermal plasma particulate removal systems and methods thereof
    Patent number: 8157902
    Abstract: The present invention is broadly directed to non-thermal plasma-based systems for reducing the amount of particulate matter in a gas stream, as well as to methods for using such systems. The present invention is particularly directed to such non-thermal plasma-based particulate matter reduction systems with self-cleaning surfaces. Particularly contemplated are self-cleaning surfaces that reduce particulate matter buildup such as is likely to cause the reduction of non-thermal plasma production in the system, and therefore the ability of such systems to reduce the amount of particulate matter in the gas stream.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 25, 2009
    Date of Patent: April 17, 2012
    Assignee: Environmental Energy Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Ali Ogut, Richard Backus
