about us
MagPlasma is a service disabled, veteran owned, small business founded with the goal of modernizing conventional heating processes used in commercial products and manufacturing with non-thermal plasmas (NTPs). MagPlasma NTP systems and devices are more efficient, in both time and energy, than thermal processes.
Our current focus is on integrating plasma systems for air purification, surface disinfection, and advanced material processing. Our plasma systems improve product/system performance while reducing energy usage and reliance on fossil resources. NTPs enable many chemical manufacturing processes to operate at a lower temperature and faster feed rate than conventional processing methods. It also enhances our ability to tailor key product features to produce higher value products at a lower cost. Our team’s experience in development and commercialization of novel processes has resulted in a variety of innovative new technologies and solutions.
