Microwave to Molecules

The platform provides advantages over other non-thermal and thermal plasma reactors:

• operation at lower temperature by the use of a gas-phase catalyst in the plasma region

• higher throughput by operating at atmospheric pressure

• elimination of heat labile materials next to the plasma region

• reduced power consumption because nearly 100% efficient coupling to plasma

• free of electrode cooling and wear through electrodeless operation and through the use of flows that cool the reactor

• reduced down time and lower maintenance with electrodeless operation while avoiding sensitive dielectrics next to the plasma

• low capital cost because of volume production of magnetrons for commercial applications

Industrial plants would be comprised of multiple modules at modest power/throughput, integrating modules to build larger systems at multi MW levels.
