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 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.

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.
