Plasma Reactor

Multi-functional plasma reactors, gasifiers, and cracking chambers

Oenerga PCR plasma reactors are complicated plasma units where reactions with the use of low-temperature plasma take place. Oenerga PCR plasma reactors are designed for sufficient mixing of reagents; for creating conditions for efficient heat and mass transfer at minimal heat losses; for creating conditions for the necessary chemical reactions, including for the purposes of non-ore material melting and waste disposal.

OENERGA PCR PLASMA

The possibility of using Oenerga PCR plasma reactors in special-purpose structures and special configurations for plasma destruction of chemical, biological, and bacteriological weapon components, destruction of chemical production wastes including organ halogen wastes, pesticides past their expiration dates, polychlorinated biphenyls and other persistent organic pollutants, for destruction of medical wastes, various toxic wastes, and reduction of radioactive waste storage volume, expands the opportunities of equipment application significantly.

The Oenerga PCR plasma-chemical reactors use practical inertia- less heating element, the electric arc.

The inertialess ness of the electric arc makes it possible to automate the process and to quickly reorganize the operating regime of the reactor for very different types of feedstock with the purpose of producing a wide range of products out of it.

The intense thermal energy in an electric arc enables compact plasma reactors. Using the heat and catalytic effect of low-temperature plasma, various chemical compositions can be created and high-speed chemical processes achieved.

The waste destruction unit, along with its mobility, also implies its modular construction, both in the entire manufacturing scheme and in individual elements. This allows for putting together different variants of the manufacturing scheme for the purpose of recycling a wide range of organic and inorganic wastes on the same fundamental base, which is a 20/30/40-foot maritime transport container. Low-temperature plasma (~5000 °С) is used as a heat carrier, it flows into the plasma-chemical reactor from the jet-type plasma torch with a wide range of plasma-forming one-, two- or multicomponent gases (argon, helium, nitrogen, air, mixture of argon and nitrogen with hydrogen, ammonia, water steam), allowing for achieving high temperatures in the plasma reactor (from 1650 to 2500 °С).

The Oenerga PCR plasma reactors, gasifiers, and cracking (plasma afterburning) chambers for processing solid, liquid, and gaseous wastes and raw materials have different types of construction, which make it possible to achieve full destruction of resins, dioxins, and furans. This can be achieved by long-term regulated impact in the plasma chamber and through labyrinth paths of the afterburner where the temperature exceeds 1400°С and subsequent high-speed cooling of the synthesis gas.

The major and primary advantage of Oenerga PCR plasma reactors is the possibility of using steam plasma and blast steam for chemical processes inside the reactor chamber. The principle of using steam or air-steam mixture for gasification is that due to the absence of ballast nitrogen and, as a consequence, the relatively small volume of synthesis gas compared to the volume of total waste incineration products, there is the possibility of decreasing the dimensions (and the manufacturing cost) of the plasma reactor, the plasma afterburning chamber, and all the systems for synthesis gas treatment and cooling. Also, due to the absence of ballast nitrogen in the plasma reactor and in the plasma afterburning chamber as a result of thermal influence, no nitrogen dioxides (NO2) or nitrogen oxides (NOx) are formed.Low-temperature plasma (~5000 °С) is used as a heat carrier, it flows into the plasma-chemical reactor from the jet-type plasma torch with a wide range of plasma-forming one-, two- or multicomponent gases (argon, helium, nitrogen, air, mixture of argon and nitrogen with hydrogen, ammonia, water steam), allowing for achieving high temperatures in the plasma reactor (from 1650 to 2500 °С).

Plasma reactors and plasma afterburning chambers are easily built into the enterprise’s existing production chain, they are a standard element of gas treatment systems, also they can be built into the existing pyrolysis plants and into standard garbage burning plants (incinerators) in order to perform the function of plasma afterburning of the effluent gas.

plasma reactors are divided into 3 groups

hazardous

chemical, toxic, biological, bacteriological, medical, and radioactive

standard

gasifiers for standard types of wastes and raw materials MSW, biomass, coal, oil sludges, industrial wastes, etc

chemical

Plasma-chemical reactors for specialized, scientific, and technological applications.

Afterburning and treatment of the effluent gases at different industrial enterprises and plants

The Oenerga PCR multi-functional plasma afterburning and plasma cracking chambers (plasma-chemical reformers) allow for effluent gas treatment at plants and industrial enterprises performing air emissions, with full destruction of resins, dioxins and furans that is achieved by way of long-term regulated impact in the plasma chamber through labyrinth paths of the afterburner at temperatures exceeding 1400°С, and subsequent high-speed cooling of the gas.
