Properties

Liquid volume per batch: up to 1 l

Technology Readiness Level:

TRL 5

Description

The wINPlasLab is used to treat a liquid in a beaker with transient spark discharges. During the treatment, the beaker is placed underneath the electrodes, and by adjusting the liquid level in the beaker, the distance between the electrodes and the water surface can be set. An integrated magnetic stirrer provides permanent mixing of the sample substance, and the utilization of leakage transformers for the high-voltage supply provides an inductive current limitation. The system is intended for the treatment of various liquids with different conductivities. A treatment of bacteria in the solution is also possible.

The Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (INP) is the largest non-university institute in the field of low temperature plasmas, their basics and technical applications in Europe. The institute carries out research and development from idea to prototype. The topics focus on the needs of the market. At present, plasmas for materials and energy as well as for environment and health are the focus of interest.
