The Plasma Vortex is a state-of-the-art plasma disinfection and oxidation system that provides robust and cost-effective wastewater decontamination. This non-chemical "directed energy" system oxidizes grey and black water, destroys organic compounds, disinfects and significantly reduces the treatment costs of other industrial effluents. Thanks to its modular and highly scalable technology, Plasma Vortex reduces existing chemical treatments, offering an environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative to incineration. Plasma is an ionized gas ("arc lightning") and non-chemical (physics-based) treatment approach. This solution reduces the energy and cost of industrial wastewater treatment. Ultimately, Vortex Plasma allows the treatment of the most contaminated streams - including aqueous effluent and sludge streams. In addition, Plasma Vortex offers significant energy, water and environmental savings compared to the existing AOP process.

The Environmental Benefits

  • 97% decrease in energy used to treat hazardous wastewater
  • Water treated using Plasma Vortex remains in the local eco-system

The Financial Benefits

  • Pay back time reached under 2 years
  • Increases user's compliance with black & grey water management regulation, reducing significantly financial penalties
