Abstract

A device 100 for treating exhaust gas from a vehicle is disclosed. The device includes a chamber 102, a plurality of electrodes 104, and a pulse controller 108. The chamber is configured to allow at least one of burning and ionization of a plurality of combustible constituents present in the exhaust gas to pass through the chamber. Each pair of the plurality of electrodes is positioned opposite to each other in the chamber with a predetermined gap and generate a plurality of plasma arcs 106. The plasma arc ionizes the exhaust gas to reduce emissions as the exhaust gas exits from a tail pipe of the vehicle thereby controlling the emissions of the vehicle. The pulse controller steps-up a predetermined voltage as an input voltage, controls the time required for energization of one pair of electrodes at a time, and control duration of a plasma arc inside the chamber.
