MUMBAI, India, May 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517035202 A) filed by Cogent Energy Systems Inc., Annandale, U.S.A., on April 10, for 'plasma/ionic reactor for processing fluorocarbon materials.'

Inventor(s) include Davis Brandon; and Kong Peter C.

The application for the patent was published on May 30, under issue no. 22/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A plasma or ionic reactor or gasifier implements an ultra high temperature ionic gasification process that can be used in an environmentally friendly manner to dispose of dried biosolids from for example wastewater treatment plants as well other waste feed stocks such as municipal solid waste (MSW) to produce for example renewable syngas that can be used to provide heat power renewable fuels renewable hydrogen and/or renewable chemical production. The systems described herein do so by generating electrical arcs across the interior of the gasifier reaction chamber creating a localized controlled temperature in excess of 3000 C along with ionic gas or particles (plasma). This ultra high temperature gasification zone and active ionic environment combine to very effectively and efficiently break down molecules into their constituent atoms in a process called complete molecular dissociation. This ultra high temperature ionic zone will also rapidly decompose impurities in the feed stock such as microplastics PFAS (Per and Polyfluorinated Substances) and other fluorocarbon materials."

The patent application was internationally filed on Nov. 16, 2023, under International application No.PCT/US2023/079999.
