  • Non-thermal plasma reactor
    Publication number: 20040208804
    Abstract: The space between parallel electrode plates (12, 13) of the reactor is dimensioned to make it possible to produce plasma at reasonable applied potential within the gas passages (15) of a monolithic substrate, such as a wallflow filter, in a slice (11) positioned between the electrode plates (12, 13).

  • Plasma assisted catalytic treatment of gases
    Publication number: 20030170154
    Abstract: A reactor (100) for the plasma assisted treatment of effluent gases such as exhaust from internal combustion engines, and effluent gases from industrial processes and incineration. The reactor includes a stage for the plasma-assisted processing of noxious components in the effluent, such as carbonaceous combustion products from internal combustion engines. A diverter valve (119) is provided for bypassing at least that stage should it become blocked, for example by untreated carbonaceous combustion products. In a particular form of the reactor the treatment stages are modular in form.

  • Corona discharge reactor
    Patent number: 6334982
    Abstract: A corona discharge reactor is for use in processing materials in or carried by a gaseous phase. A plurality of cylindrical individual reactor chambers is provided in an array. The reactor chambers are electrically matched with each other and pulses of electrical energy are supplied under sequential control to each of the individual reactor chambers.
