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 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.
