Renewable energy production

TurboPlasma

Our challenge is to optimize production of syngas from gasification through the use of plasma torches in order to produce more electricity. 

Benefiting from its over 15 years' experience in plasma heating systems, Europlasma has developed a new system, called TurboPlasma, aimed at improving gasification units.

 

• TurboPlasma is the Europlasma's new ground-breaking process, developed to maximize generation of renewable energy.
• TurboPlasma is a second stage thermal treatment process that can be adapted to any type of gasification technology.
• The advantage of the TurboPlasma process is that it helps obtain better quality syngas and eliminates tars 
  

TurboPlasma is a gas cleaning system, enabling the removal of tars from syngas and converting CxHy/CO2 into CO/H2 by cracking the molecules with the plasma's high enthalpy. 

TurboPlasma is mainly composed of a plasma torch and is fed with the syngas produced by the gasifier. The plasma torch raises the syngas temperature from 850 °C to 1400 °C, improving syngas purity and increasing the process yield by 3-6% net (torch consumption included). Thanks to this process, more CO/H2 is obtained, increasing the energy production. In addition, the tars that are problematic for gas engines are eliminated.

 TurboPlasma is a patented process and an excellent addition to the gas cleaning process.
