System architect

VitalFluid is a young and dynamic company specializing in plasma technology and the development of Plasma Activated Water (PAW) applications. PAW is a relatively new phenomenon that is produced using just water, air and electricity. The properties of PAW can be used in agriculture, medical applications and water purification. VitalFluid concentrates on the development and commercialization of PAW technology. The initial focus will be on the agro sector, where PAW can be used as a sustainable alternative to conventional synthetic and organic fertilizers to treat seeds and as a sustainable method to increase plant health and resilience. In addition to the agricultural sector, applications are also possible in the medical sector and for the cleaning of surfaces.
