The world will be a fresher place thanks to Plasma Clean

Plasma Clean today announces the launch of its innovative system for improving environmental air quality and, thanks to the award of a prestigious Research & Development grant from the North West Regional Development Agency (NWDRDA), will soon be launching a system for polluted industrial applications. Plasma Clean, based in Stockport, Cheshire, has developed an innovative system for improving environmental air quality by the removal of harmful Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), odours and microbes.  The system requires low power levels to operate and is a low maintenance system.  It is currently being independently tested and is also being evaluated by a growing number of international healthcare and industrial companies who are keen to license the patent protected technology. Now that this first application is reaching commercialization, Plasma Clean is focusing on creating a next generation product which is capable of large scale air purification.  This product will have industrial applications in plants making everything from semi-conductors to automotive paint spraying facilities – in practice anywhere facing issues such VOCs, odours and airborne microbes.  The development of the next generation of products has been assisted by the award by the NWRDA of a prestigious research & development grant to the Company. David Glover, founder of Plasma Clean, said of the grant: “The award of our grant has made a dramatic difference to the potential of Plasma Clean.  The funds we have been given will enable us to take a whole new enivironmentally friendly product range to market, which will help to reduce carbon emissions for our customers and for the end users.” Plasma Clean’s technology is green and clean air filtration at its best.  We deliver it in a simple cassette which converts harmful organic air contaminants into harmless by-products. It is a simpler and more environmentally friendly alternative to established carbon based air filtration systems.  A further benefit of the system is that it does not need to be taken off site for incineration or placed in landfill.  This means that the carbon footprint of Plasma Clean’s technology is significantly reduced. George Whitehead of NESTA, one of the founding investors in Plasma Clean, said “NESTA has been particularly interested in the Clean-Tech investment space for sometime now.  We continue to back innovative early stage technology businesses, like Plasma Clean.  It is encouraging that this strategy is being validated as our portfolio companies move into commercial development.  “David Glover and his team are also to be congratulated on the NWRDA grant.  The competition for these grants is fierce and it is therefore an award that is a real sign of the quality Plasma Clean’s proposition.”
