Pulsed power

What is Pulsed Power?
Pulsed Corona Technology is sometimes called Cold Plasma Technology, because breakdown reactions already occur at ambient temperatures. A corona is a field (plasma) of very active particles, electrons and free radicals, for example the kind that develop in a lightning discharge.

In essence, the Pulsed Corona Technology creates small, controlled ‘mini thunderbolts’ and as such a very reactive plasma field, in which contaminating vapours can be broken down.

Unique
The uniqueness of our Pulsed Corona Technology lies in the fact that we are capable of generating an extremely short pulse of very high capacity (100 MW).

This enables us to create a plasma field that is stronger by a factor of approximately 10 times than plasma fields created by non-pulsed cold plasma purifiers. The final result is a more efficient, energy-saving process. Besides, our electrons have such a high energy level that we can also deal with aromatics or substances like H2S, NOx, fine dust and micro-organisms, which are all hard to tackle.

Carbon Footprint
We are therefore capable of removing contamination with the Pulsed Corona Air Purifier while using little energy, in particular when large flows with low vapour concentrations are involved. The technology therefore has a very small carbon footprint: both from an environmental perspective and as regards its surface area. The technology requires little energy, and no or hardly any processing water or additional chemicals.

Reaction mechanism

Processchema
The ‘pulse generator’ is the heart of a Pulsed Corona Reactor. This creates extremely short high-energy pulses which in turn create cold plasma.

A great advantage of the pulsed corona reactor is the lack of resistance. In fact, the reactor is actually similar to a tube. The result is that there is just a little amount of energy required to treat large amounts of air.
