ABSTRACT:
An apparatus having a first and second zones, for destroying hazardous compounds of a first and second types respectively present in a gas stream. The first zone has a first live electrode and a ground electrode. The first live electrode and the ground electrode define a first gas passage. These electrodes are excitable at a first energy level for generating a first electric field capable of generating a plasma in a gas flowing through the first gas passage. The second zone has a second live electrode spaced apart from the ground electrode. The second live electrode defines with the ground electrode a second gas passage communication with a downstream end of the first gas passage. The second live electrode is excitable at a second energy level for generating with the ground electrode a second electric field capable of sustaining the plasma in the gas flowing through the second gas passage. The second live electrode is located within electrically excitable distance from the first live electrode, whereby when the first energy level is different from the second energy level, either in their respective voltages, phases or frequencies, a third electric field is generated between the first and second live electrodes. This third electric field provides an additional source of energy between the first and second electric fields for sustaining the plasma throughout both zones, and for preventing a backward recombination of the hazardous compounds of the first type leaving the first zone.
