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 50 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, electronic grade 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 Patents 7,452,513 B2, 7,955,567 B2, and several patents pending) powered by high efficient power supplies (vacuum tube or transistor based) provide unique efficiency both thermal and electrical, generate pure non-equilibrium plasma with controllable temperature up to 10,000 C, 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, water steam, and different blends at the APT (up to 600 kW) and our partner's test facilities in the USA.
 Developed product line of the atmospheric and above pressure hybrid/ICP torches from 1 kW to 1,000 kW with remote discharge initiation 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. These torches could be also used for pumping high power gas-dynamic lasers. See photograph of a 300 kW multi-purpose atmospheric pressure torch with water cooled extension nozzle on the right.
Our scientists and engineers will adjust and modify the plasma torch design, suggest economically affordable high efficient (65% to 85%) power sources to enable your unique technology, upgrade existing old fashion power supply, provide after market services, worldwide maintenance and upgrades during the entire product life time.
APT invites investors and potential strategic partners to join us in a highly profitable multi-million dollar project with one year return on investment related to a large-scale nano-powders production based on our unique atmospheric pressure plasma technology.
 On April 4, 2011 APT has initiated and released a solicitation on a new International project and invites all interested parties to contribute their ideas and technical solutions with the main objectives to develop and start mass production of the power supplies from 50 kW to 1 MW in plasma for high power and high pressure (up to 20 bar) RF torches. The first plasma systems powered by two types of power supplies (research and industrial)especially designed for such RF plasma are commercially available from January 2012. See its overview on the bottom right photograph.
