APT Plasma Torch

Our APT torch is at the heart of our proprietary plasma waste processing and waste-to-energy technologies and have been deployed by the US Department of Defense. Developed by our team initially as a game-changing solution for waste destruction and subsequent energy recovery, the plume from an APT can reach more than 5000oC, an excellent tool for the transforming of materials to value-added products. This torch can be modified for uses with different gases and reach power levels ranging from 50 kW to 500 kW. Available in a light weight (magnet-free), compact configuration, the APT offers an electrode service life which can exceed 1000 hours of continuous operation in a multitude of other applications in the metallurgical, advanced materials, nanomaterial and oil & gas sectors.
