Change in the management of terraplasma

As of 1 May 2021, there are personnel changes in the management of terraplasma. After 10 years of managing and founding the company, Prof. Dr. Dr. Gregor Morfill is stepping down as Managing Director of terraplasma GmbH. He will now pursue his activities in the company as Chief Scientific Officer.

Rico Unger will succeed him as managing director. After studying electrical engineering / medical technology, he has already been active in the industry of medical technology for more than 15 years as a developer, manager and managing director.

His many years of experience in research and development, and in particular his ability to bring together ideas in technical areas into a product, have already been successful in the past. Thus, terraplasma is now under the joint management of PD Dr. Julia Zimmermann (CEO) and Rico Unger (CTO).

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.

Impressions from BayOConnect 2024 in 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 in the areas of biotech and life science. Cold plasma is perfect for replacing conventional disinfection solutions with chemicals, UV, heat or radiation, for example, and thus enables true sustainability. An excellently suitable platform is the BayOConnect 2024 event, in which terraplasma actively participated as speaker and exhibitor.

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.
