The treatment process consists of swirling compressed air into the contaminated process water and to inject the resulted air-water flow <em>via<\/em> a venturi nozzle into the MUEGGE 2.45\u00a0GHz plasma torch as to form tiny droplets of water [2]. The smaller the droplets of process water in the pressurized airstream, the higher the probability for complete dissociation of the organic compounds in the high-energy microwave plasma. The desirable result of this atmospheric pressure plasma cleaning process would be the complete conversion of the organic compounds into water vapor and carbon dioxide after dissociation and reaction
