This technology uses cold plasma to break down pollutant chemicals as they are emitted, converting them into benign compounds. The cold plasma uses high-voltage electrical discharge to create ionized gas that interacts with pollutants in turbine exhaust. It breaks down nitrous oxides into nitrogen and oxygen or converts it into nitric acid. It oxidizes volatile organic compounds and formaldehyde into water vapor and carbon dioxide. The cold plasma can be incorporated into the exhaust ducting or stack of a power plant, turbine, or other pollution-emitting facility. Background: Turbines, power plants, and other factories and facilities emit large amounts of harmful pollutants into the atmosphere. These pollutants include compounds like nitrous oxides and volatile carbon compounds, which can cause respiratory illnesses and irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, and can contribute to the risk of developing more serious diseases in the long term. This technology aims to reduce the harm caused by this pollution by using cold plasma to react with harmful compounds and convert them into benign ones as they are emitted. Applications:
