terraplasma Mitarbeiterin Sylvia Cantzler auf einem ESA Vortrag

Terraplasma at the CEMS-ESA Seminar

For the 15th time, international CEMS Master's students from the Rotterdam School of Management (RSM) had the opportunity to develop business plans based on space technology with application on Earth and to create potential companies from them at the ESTEC Space Technology Center of the European Space Agency (ESA).

During this event our colleague Sylvia Cantzler was invited to present about cold atmospheric plasma along with technologies that our company developed and its application areas, for the students to develop business ideas for new product and application with the cold plasma technology.

The CEMS-ESA workshop was a great opportunity for Terraplasma to recognize the further potential developments and to look beyond the existing scope of the company for the application of cold plasma technology. We would, therefore, extend our gratitude to Niels Eldering, the representative of ESA for inviting us to participate. We also would like to thank Bas Jan Veldhoen, who brought the students and Sylvia Cantzler together and motivated, supported and encouraged everyone to find unique ideas. We would also like to specially thank all the students for their creative and innovative ideas, the qualified drafts and extremely pleasant cooperation. Hence, Exciting and convincing business plans have emerged!

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.
