Abstract
A plasma spark discharge reactor for treating water. The plasma spark discharge reactor comprises a HV electrode with a head and ground electrode that surrounds at least a portion of the HV electrode. A passage for gas may pass through the reactor to a location proximate to the head to provide controlled formation of gas bubbles in order to facilitate the plasma spark discharge in a liquid environment.
Claims20
A plasma spark discharge reactor comprising:
- a HV electrode having a head;
- a ground electrode surrounding at least a portion of the HV electrode;
- and
- a gas passage extending longitudinally through the HV electrode to an outlet at a location proximate to the head of the HV electrode.
A plasma spark discharge reactor comprising:
- a HV electrode having a head;
- a ground electrode surrounding at least a portion of the HV electrode;
- a gas passage extending to an outlet at a location proximate to the head of the HV electrode, and
- an insulator, and wherein the gas passage extends longitudinally through the insulator.
A plasma spark discharge reactor comprising:
- a HV electrode having a head;
- a ground electrode surrounding at least a portion of the HV electrode;
- and
- a gas passage extending to an outlet at a location proximate to the head of the HV electrode, wherein the reactor further comprises a plurality of side passages fluidly connected to the gas passage and the side passages each extend at an angle from the gas passage to an outlet proximate to the head of the HV electrode.
A plasma spark discharge reactor comprising:
- a HV electrode having a head;
- a ground electrode surrounding at least a portion of the HV electrode;
- and
- a gas passage extending to an outlet at a location proximate to the head of the HV electrode, wherein the head of the HV electrode is rounded.
A water treatment system comprising,
- a chamber for holding produced water;
- and
- a plasma spark discharge reactor comprising:
- a HV electrode with a head;
- a ground electrode surrounding at least a portion of the HV electrode;
- and
- a gas passage extending to an outlet a location proximate to the head of the HV electrode.
