INTRODUCTION Plasma torches working with steam as the main plasma forming gas have many applications. Plasma torches which use steam as the main plasma forming gas produce a plasma plume with a high concentration of H+ and OH− ions. The steam plasma plume rich in these chemically very reactive species can be used in a wide range of applications starting from coal gasification to hazardous waste treatment [see references 1 to 4 detailed hereinbelow]. Steam plasma torches have been very successful in achieving difficult chemical conversion particularly for the destruction of chlorinated and/or fluorinated hydrocarbons

This could be more important than it first appears to be. If water as super heated steam ( steam under high pressure and above 212ºF ) can be used as the gas  in the place of some other purchased gas, H2 or whatever, the operating cost will be greatly reduced and the supply of the gas will be greatly simplified. Depending on the heat balances some or all of the water  could be used

Great points ElanS2.  There could also be applications/synergies with the AirScience Technologies acquisition and their technologies/solutions (especially relating to syngas).  Peter alluded to this in one of the Agoracom interviews. Very impressive the work of Peter, Pierre, and Team at PyroGenesis. Long and Strong in PyroGenesis!
