Torch systems

Europlasma Torches & Process designs and manufactures high temperature plasma systems which have industrial applications in the metals industry, in waste destruction and in high temperature gasification.

These plasma systems are sold to industrial clients manufacturers as subparts of a larger facility, and are usually supported by operational maintenance contracts. Europlasma Torches & Process also sells export licenses for specific region/territories, such as in recent years in Japan and South Korea. [Industrial references, read more +]

A plasma system is composed of the following sub-systems:

• A plasma torch and its starter system,
• A DC electrical transformer to power the torch with direct current,
• A control unit (Programmable Logic Controller),
• A water system to cool down the torch with deionized water,
• A gas system to provide the system with gas,

A plasma torch transforms electrical energy into high-density thermal energy, which can reach up to 9000°F – the temperature at the surface of the sun.

A plasma torch is a proficient thermal tool that can replace fossil fuel burners with an efficiency reaching up to 85%. Applied to waste treatment, a plasma torch enables the complete destruction of waste: organic compounds are completely converted into synthesis gas (syngas) and inorganic compounds are transformed into inert glass that can be valorized and sold as aggregate or a compound for road works.

The plasma torch is of interest to any type of heat treatment as it provides ease of operation and reduces costs because of a stable energy price. In addition, the plasma will not cause any form of incineration. 

Europlasma benefits from an important industrial experience feedback since its plasma systems  have accumulated at the moment 1.250.000 hours of operational functioning.
