Patent granted in China

After being granted by the United States Patent Office on 05.11.2019 (US 10,470,285 B2), our terraplasma patent application for "Electrode Assembly and Plasma Source for Generating a Non-Thermal plasma and Method for Operating a Plasma Source "has now also been granted a patent in China (ZL 2016800431550).

The applications in Japan and Europe are soon to be decided. This patent concerns a “thin film electrode” for generating a cold atmospheric plasma at low voltages, which is suitable for mass production at low manufacturing costs.

This electrode is an important building block in terraplasma’s developments for miniaturised plasma sources for the treatment of skin diseases, for wound healing, for combating viral and bacterial infections as well as foot and nail fungus, for inactivating odours, pollutants and allergens, for air and water purification and for many other applications in medicine and hygiene.

The patent protection thus gained should strengthen terraplasma’s position in plasma technology even more.

terraplasma and TUM develop “CAPbot” prototype of a mobile cleaning robot with plasma-activated mist

As part of an interdisciplinary research project called “CAPbot”, terraplasma GmbH and the Chair of Medical Engineering Materials and Implants at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) are developing a new type of platform technology for ground-based disinfection. The aim is to integrate a cold plasma source into an automated wiping robot system for use in highly sensitive environments such as clinics, food processing, the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries and public facilities.

terraplasma focuses on innovative water treatment with patented cold plasma technology

Garching / Munich, March 21st, 2025 – Tomorrow is World Water Day: The aim of this day of action, launched by UNESCO in 1993, is to draw attention to the importance of (clean) water as the most important basis of life for all of hu-manity. Water is a limited and increasingly scarce resource. Around 785 mil-lion people are already affected by acute water shortages. The availability and quality of water is currently changing dramatically due to population growth and climate change and is constantly becoming the greatest challenge for us humans. These are good reasons for terraplasma GmbH to focus more on the large field of water treatment and to continue its success story.

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.
