The Full Scope of
Cold Plasma Technology

Plasma — the "fourth state of matter" beyond solid, liquid, and gas.
The technology to control its power at room temperature and atmospheric pressure will change the world.

The state of "ice" changes from solid to liquid and then from liquid to gas as the temperature rises. When the temperature of the gas rises, the molecules of the gas dissociate into atoms, and when the temperature rises further, the electrons orbiting the nucleus separate from the atoms and separate into positive ions and electrons. This phenomenon is called "ionization".

And the gas containing charged particles generated by ionization is called "plasma". Plasma is an aggregate of radicals (active species), electrons, ions (ionizers), and photons (light). Plasma releases molecules and atoms apart, destroying the shape of matter.

Components of Plasma

Radicals (Active Species) — Decompose matter through high reactivity
Electrons — Charged particles
Ions (Ionizers) — Charged atoms and molecules
Photons (Light) — Photons / electromagnetic radiation

Next Generation Plasma Technology

Next-Generation Plasma Technology
Using Atmospheric Low-Temperature Plasma

"Plasma" is an aggregate of "radicals (active species), electrons, ions (ionizers), and photons (lights)". In recent years, various methods for generating low-temperature plasma under atmospheric pressure have been developed.

The low temperature plasma disinfection method not only instantaneously decomposes "viruses, bacteria, pollen, harmful substances, and odors" due to its high reactivity, but also features "low power consumption, low cost, safety, and environmental friendliness" — making it a globally developed alternative to existing disinfection and deodorization methods.

Advanced Oxidation Process

AOP (Advanced Oxidation Process)
Why Does It Neutralize Viruses?

There are various types of viruses such as coronavirus and influenza virus, but the composition and morphology of the viruses are the same. There is a difference between DNA (double helix) and RNA (single helix), but the surface is covered with a protein film called a capsid or envelope.

ROS (Reactive Oxidation Species) mixed multi-gas plasma produced by the sterilizer extracts hydrogen from the protein film on the surface of the virus and promotes oxidation. Furthermore, one "O" of ozone (O₃) attaches to nucleic acid and promotes oxidation. After that, the virus is cleaned by thoroughly oxidizing the nucleic acid until the vapor phase hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) decomposes itself.

Plasma Filter

Plasma Filter

Ultra-fine dust, pollen, viruses, etc. contained in the air sucked into the high-voltage large-area plasma discharge reactor are struck by lightning more than 6,000 times per second in the high-voltage plasma discharge layer and killed and destroyed.

Plasma Water Technology

Plasma Water

Heat treatment and chemical disinfection were used in medical fields, agricultural industry, and food industry before — but heat denaturation and chemical residues were ongoing problems. We invented an ultra-high speed and highly reactive disinfection system by increasing the performance range of the multi-gas plasma jet, making it possible to irradiate plasma directly to water.

The plasma water produced by the plasma jet is environmentally friendly as it returns to normal water after about an hour. Our plasma water can solve chemical residue issues — pesticide-free, no heat denaturation, and it can significantly reduce food loss by keeping food sterile and fresh for longer.

Agriculture

Pesticide-free and low-pesticide solutions. Direct plasma water treatment for crops and soil.

Medical

No chemical residues, no heat denaturation. High-purity water treatment for medical use.

Food

Disinfection, extended freshness, and significant reduction of food loss.

Environment

Returns to normal water after treatment. Zero waste, zero environmental impact.

Information Infrastructure

AQRSS
Air Quality and Risk Surveillance System

14,000L

Volume of air a person breathes daily

People breathe 14,000 liters of air every day. We also take about 2 liters of water orally. Water is supplied as social infrastructure through a process of strict water quality inspection and disinfection. So what about "air"? While taking in about 7,000 times as much air as water into the human body every day, its "quality" is not inspected or disinfected except in specific places.

By capturing and analyzing harmful substances in the air and presenting them as unique indicators, AQRSS provides new guidelines for improving the air environment.

AQRSS (Air Quality and Risk Surveillance System) is an information infrastructure for realizing a "clean air environment" that is indispensable for people's healthy lives.
