Abstract

A new technology area for pulsed corona is hot biogas cleaning, important in view of the growing interest in biomass gasification. Our work concentrates on the development and optimization of pulsed electrical methods for treatment of thermally generated biogas. Corona energized by narrow voltage pulses (100 kV) makes a well ordered and concentrated deposition possible of electrical energy from a circuit into a hot polluted gas. The created plasmas can break down various contaminants. Successful introduction of pulsed corona for industrial processes very much depends on the reliability of high-voltage and pulsed power technology and on the efficiency of energy transfer. In addition, we must achieve adequate electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
