Everything about the innovative air pollution treatment system that utilizes low-temperature plasma technology
Q1: What is the GEMNI system?
Overview of the GEMNI system
A: GEMNI is an air pollution treatment system that utilizes low-temperature plasma technology. Unlike the conventional high-temperature plasma method, GEMNI uses low-temperature plasma of around 50°C to decompose air pollutants into atomic substances.
Q2: What are the differences between the GEMNI system and the existing air pollution prevention facilities?
Existing System
Dust collection facilities, desulfurization facilities, denitrification facilities, and other volatile organic compound treatment facilities must be installed and operated independently.
GEMNI System
A: Unlike the existing air pollution prevention facilities, GEMNI is an all-in-one plasma decomposition treatment system. A single system can treat all types of air pollutants with excellent decomposition performance.
How does the GEMNI system work?
Low-temperature Plasma Energy
Uses low-temperature plasma of around 50°C
Molecular Decomposition
Decomposes air pollutant molecules
Post-treatment System
Effective post-treatment using multiple condensers
Complete Treatment
Generates clean exhaust
A: It uses low-temperature plasma energy to decompose air pollutant molecules. Since it uses low-temperature plasma of around 50°C, the likelihood of generating new harmful compounds is low, and the effective post-treatment system using multiple condensers enables complete treatment.
Q4: Why doesn't GEMNI generate harmful compounds?
Low-temperature plasma characteristics
Insufficient energy for the creation of new harmful compounds
Multi-stage post-treatment system
Safe processing using multiple condensers
Clean emissions
Fully meeting environmental standards
A: Due to the characteristics of low-temperature plasma, there is not enough energy supplied to generate new harmful compounds such as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, or dioxins. Additionally, the multi-stage post-treatment system utilizing multiple condensers safely processes all decomposition products, resulting in clean emissions that fully meet environmental standards.
Q5: What is the treatment efficiency of the GEMNI system?
General Treatment Efficiency
Achieved in most conditions
Maximum Treatment Efficiency
Achievable under specific conditions
A: According to the document, the system achieves a high treatment efficiency of over 90%, and can reach up to 99.9% efficiency under specific conditions.
Q6: What types of air pollutants can it treat?
Sulfur compounds
Nitrogen compounds
Dioxins
Furans
Fluorine gases
A: GEMNI can decompose all air pollutants into monoatomic gases. It can treat sulfur compounds, nitrogen compounds, dioxins, furans, fluorinated gases, and fluorine gases. It does not selectively decompose or combine specific elements, but completely decomposes all pollutants down to the atomic level.
Q7: Do carbon dust or sulfur dust not form after the decomposition of inorganic substances, carbon dioxide, and sulfur compounds in fine dust?
Molecular Decomposition
Molecules are decomposed into individual atomic components
Vortex Technology
Heavy molecules are accelerated to the outer edges using vortex technology
Scrubbing System
These molecules are decelerated to allow them to precipitate
Sludge Processing
Reprocessed in a pyrolysis system or separated for recycling purposes using molecular sieves
A: Yes, these residual materials are absolutely generated in this process. As the molecules are decomposed into individual atomic components, the heavy molecules are accelerated to the outer edges using vortex technology. They are then decelerated in a scrubbing system to allow them to precipitate. The resulting sludge can then be reprocessed in a pyrolysis system or separated for recycling purposes using molecular sieves.
Important Note: The main purpose of the condenser is not explosion prevention, but to remove inorganic powders (C, S, B, Li, etc.) after the decomposition of air pollutants. There is no scientific risk of explosion in the plasma decomposition core, and this technology is already applied and used in industry as a proven technology.
Q8: How much electricity is consumed per unit of air pollutant treated?
A: The power consumption of the system model that treats 120 cubic meters per minute of air pollutants is 12kW. This means that using this device for one hour will consume 12kWh of electrical energy. The system uses an extremely high voltage and very low current generated high-energy plasma, which results in significantly lower energy consumption compared to many other methods. Energy consumption may vary depending on the system size.
Q9: Is there a problem in processing exhaust gases with high moisture content?
Moisture Content
No problem as long as the moisture content of the contact stream is maintained below about 35%
Humidity Management
The system operates effectively within the appropriate humidity range
Performance Maintenance
Optimal treatment efficiency is maintained within the recommended moisture range
A: As long as the moisture content of the contact stream is maintained below about 35%, the high moisture in the contact stream does not cause any problems.

It is not a particularly risky technology and has been safely applied in various industrial environments. GEMNI is a system that has commercialized, scaled up, and optimized these existing plasma technologies to be more efficiently applied to large-scale industrial facilities.
Q11: Is there a difference in the treatment of automotive exhaust gases and industrial air pollutants?
A: Yes, there are differences in the application methods:
Automotive Exhaust Gases
- Mainly limited to sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide
- Attachment of a condenser is unnecessary and practically impossible
Industrial Air Pollutants
- Include fine dust and a variety of substances
- Without a condenser, it is difficult to collect the separated inorganic substances
