WHAT IS PLASMA?
Plasma is often referred to as the fourth state of matter. When a gas is heated to sufficiently high temperatures, it becomes ionized and transitions into a plasma state, where charged particles make the medium electrically conductive. Although composed of charged particles, plasma remains overall electrically neutral at the macroscopic scale. The sun, lightning, and electric arc discharges are examples of plasma encountered in both natural and industrial environments. Thermal plasma can induce multiple physical effects, including thermal, chemical, and hydrodynamic phenomena.
Hydrodynamic effect
Thanks to the alternating phenomena of our AC technology, the electromagnetic forces induce hydrodynamic effects, notably through arc motion, which enhances mixing and mass transfer of heavier species within the plasma.
Chemical effect
Thanks to its high density of electrons, ions and active radicals, plasma accelerates chemical reaction kinetics. Thus, it activates pathways difficult to reach by conventional methods.
Thermal effect
Plasma is an extremely concentrated source of heat that can reach several thousand degrees. Through mainly convection and radiation, plasma conveys its energy efficiently to your process.
Plasma torch.
CLEAN POWER FOR INDUSTRY.
Plenesys’ three-phase plasma torches enable manufacturers to decarbonize their processes while delivering high performance. Capable of generating temperatures above 3,000°C, including under pressurized conditions, the torches achieve thermal efficiencies above 90% and are designed for continuous industrial operation. Easy to integrate into existing infrastructures, our plasma torches comply with standard industrial operating requirements.
Hyplasma® process.
CLEAN PRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN AND CARBON BLACK.
HyPlasma® is a modular, turnkey solution for the production of clean hydrogen and valuable solid carbon through plasma pyrolysis of (bio)methane. The process decomposes (bio)methane without direct CO₂ emissions and is suitable for industrial-scale operation.
