Plasma Torches | |
APT suggests a wide range of custom atmospheric to high pressure DC, RF/ICP, MW and hybrid (ICP/MW + DC) plasma torches with power from 100 W to 1,000 kW for continuous (>1,000 hours) non-stop operation. These devices could be the key elements of the ignition, combustion, waste processing, coal gasification, fuel reformation, silicon production, plasma chemical, metallurgical, ethching, coating, heating, melting, cleaning, and other systems, enable synthesis of new materials, including nano-powders and fullerenes - carbon allotropes.
Patented high power hybrid torches also named as inductively coupled plasma (ICP) torches with triple vortex plasma stabilization (US Patent 7.452.513) powered by high efficient (over 85%) solid state power supplies provide unique efficiency both thermal and electrical, generate pure non-equilibrium plasma with controllable temperature up to 10,000 ºC, completely free of contamination from the electrodes erosion, and have almost endless lifetime. They could be tested at the full load regimes with up to 1.8 MW solid state power supplies (currently achieved level), up to 10 MW in future, and a number of feedstock gases as air, argon, nitrogen, oxygen, and their blends at the APT (up to 600 kW) and our partner's test facilities in the USA.
 Developed product line of the hybrid/ICP torches from 30 kW to 1,000 kW can be combined with the downstream reverse vortex reactors for high effective plasma mixing with different reagents, including gases, liquids and solids, and further "cold wall" operation. See a 300 kW torch with water cooled extension nozzle for the electron grade silicon production on the right photograph.
Our scientists and engineers will adjust and modify the plasma torch design, suggest economically affordable high efficient (over 85%) power sources to enable your unique technology, provide after market services, worldwide maintenance and upgrades during the entire product life time.
