ICPM9 International Conference of Plasma Medicine

Terraplasma at the ICPM9

The 9th International Conference on Plasma Medicine (ICPM9) took place from 27 June to 1 July 2022 at the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht, the Netherlands. The ICPM brings together experts from the fields of plasma, medicine, biology and biochemistry to develop a common language, to better define important challenges and open questions, and find effective solutions.

The first annual meeting of the COST Action “PlasTHER: Therapeutic Applications of Cold Plasmas” took place in parallel with ICPM9. The annual meeting took place for 2.5 days, from 27 to 29 June 2022. COST (i.e. European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a funding organisation for research and innovation networks. The COST Action PlasTHER aims to develop links among plasma medicine research and the medical community and patients.

This COST Action started in September 2021 and will end in 2025, with members from 25 countries.

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.
