Plasma Wave Tube

A very challenging project Verborg Engineering was not afraid to take.

The Plasma Wave Tube was a unique, one-off project developed in collaboration with TU Delft for the “Reinvent the Toilet Challenge.”

This machine is designed to convert biomass from sewage sludge into syngas (a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide). The generated gas can then be used to power solid oxide fuel cells for energy recovery. This sustainable method of producing fuel gas from sewage sludge has strong potential in developing countries, where access to basic sanitation is still limited.

The overall design of the machine was carried out by TU Delft, with Verborg providing close support. Several critical components, including the Plasma Wave Tube at the heart of the system, were fully manufactured in-house by Verborg.

Since its completion, the machine has been successfully in operation.
