Description:
Plasmachines, Inc., has recently determined that an innovative plasma ignition system appears to extend the operating limits of ignition systems. This allows significantly improved NOx reduction. An immediate application would be the large scale natural gas reciprocating engines used to drive natural gas transmission pipeline compressors.Supplemental Keywords:
