Abstract:
A system for treating an exhaust stream for reducing pollutants therein, said system comprising:a first body forming a first chamber, said chamber having an intake end and an exhaust end; a first grid fixed within said first chamber so that the exhaust stream entering said first chamber passes through said first grid; a second grid fixed within said first chamber so that the exhaust stream passes through said second grid after passing through said first grid; an electrical connector attached to either of said first grid or said second grid so that upon applying a voltage to said connector, electrical charges are generated between said first grid and said second grid; a voltage source connected to said connector; and a pulsing mechanism operatively configured with said voltage source to cause the voltage supplied to said connector from said voltage source to be pulsed at a predetermined frequency create electric arcs between said first and second grids.
