Abstract – Industrial installations for air purification from environmentally harmful gaseous emissions are described, the principle of action of the installations is based on using low-temperature non-equilibrium gas-discharge plasma. By applying this technology, Design and Engineering Bureau “Horizont” has been serially manufacturing a line of modular industrial units for air cleaning under the trademark “Korona” operating with a capacity in the range of (1–15)·10³ m³/hours, in the last 5 years. Physical operation principles of this equipment are given. The design of installations and their technical and economic parameters are considered. The results of purification of exhaust gases from a variety of industrial and municipal enterprises are presented, confirming the effectiveness of this technology for cleaning emissions of sewage pumping stations and large-scale sewage treatment plants from odors and fine mist. Possible ways of optimization of the equipment work and promising trends of its usage are proposed.

Keywords: low temperature plasma, air purification, pulsed high-voltage equipment.
