terraplasma is developing a demonstrator for water treatment with Cold Plasma on an industrial scale
A few months ago, the Cold Plasma pioneers at terraplasma GmbH were able to show that with their highly effective technology it is possible to reduce the so-called “forever chemicals” (PFAS Per- and polyFluorinated Alkyl Substances) in drinking water. As part of a research study funded by ESA Spark Funding (https://www.esa-technology-broker.it/spark-funding/), the company wants to expand its research and develop a water treatment system with a significantly more powerful flow rate. Under the project name “Plasma Pure Water”, ter-raplasma aims to complete a larger demonstration system that will meet the requirements of large households and smaller industrial applications with at least 100 liters per minute. A first prototype named “tpWater” is already being tested and optimized.
Aerosol-assisted cold plasma technology from terraplasma for disinfecting surfaces reaches important milestone
Cold atmospheric plasma (cold plasma for short) is already proving its effectiveness in the treatment of chronic and acute wounds by reducing microorganisms without contact or chemicals. Viruses, fungi and bacteria, including multi-resistant pathogens (MRE), are efficiently and sustainably destroyed by cold plasma. It therefore made sense to extend this active principle to other areas of application, such as the disinfection of objects and surfaces. With a prototype called “tpTop”, a handy and mobile cold plasma decontamination device with aerosol support, it has now been possible to deactivate up to 99.9% of microorganisms within a few seconds of treatment. This opens up new application possibilities for the future, such as the fast and sustainable disinfection of surfaces of all kinds.
Effective against PFAS: terraplasma successfully tests its own cold plasma technology for water treatment
Successful initial attempts to treat drinking water contaminated with PFAS: this is how terraplasma, the innovation leader in the area of development and implementation of applications with cold atmospheric plasma (in short: cold plasma or cold plasma), succeeded with its self-developed energy-saving cold plasma technology for water treatment alongside other substances such as For example, microorganisms and PFAS can be significantly reduced in a measurable way. In a first, larger series of tests with real water samples from a southern Bavarian PFAS hotspot, some of the so-called “forever chemicals” were reduced by up to almost 30%. Reason enough for the company to further optimize its technology and, together with potential partners, develop it into a ready-made solution for water treatment.
Cold plasma: terraplasma shows sustainable innovations in Berlin and Munich
“replacing chemicals. the sustainable way.” Under this motto, the innovation leader from Garching near Munich promotes the many different possible uses of cold plasma technology. Cold plasma is perfect for replacing conventional disinfection solutions with chemicals, UV, heat or radiation, for example, and thus enables true sustainability. In order to be able to show this to as many interested customers as possible, terraplasma is going to several trade fairs this year.
