Plasma Torches
FAQ
- What is the efficiency of a Europlasma plasma torch?
Europlasma plasma torches are very efficient thermal tools, since efficiency can rise to 85% at nominal power; with air as the plasmagen gas.
- What kind of gas is used in a Europlasma plasma torch?
The gas is chosen depending on the thermal process to be achieved. All industrial Europlasma plasma torches currently work with air since it is the best suited to fly ashes and asbestos melting.
Europlasma torches have been tested with other gases and gas mixtures such as Ar, O2, CO, CO2, CH4, N2, H2. Europlasma has the specific know-how to adapt the torch to any gas.
- What is the price of a Plasma Heating System?
The price of a Europlasma plasma heating system varies according to torch power. Please contact our sales department, who will be happy to furnish you with a preliminary study for your project. contact@europlasma.com
- What is the electrode lifetime?
The electrode lifetime depends essentially on the plasma gas composition, the nature of the electrode material and the way to operate the process.
Obviously keeping the torch to its nominal power extends electrode lifetime.
The following table gives the recorded electrode lifetime for industrial torch operation. These lifetimes were obtained through feedback based on 1 million hours of torch operation.
Electrical power Electrode lifetime (hours):
Cathode (upstream electrode) Anode (downstream electrode)

- What kind of torch do I have to use for my wastes?
Torch power depends on the type of waste to process, as well as the amount of waste to treat. For further details, please contact us and we will be happy to furnish you with a preliminary study for your project. contact@europlasma.com
