It is a device for cleaning liquids by generating an electrically excited discharge of a low-temperature plasma in a liquid environment in which cavitation or supercavitation can be achieved when the liquid flows. The device is useful for water decontamination, both for wastewater and for the disinfection of drinking and service water. It can also be used to treat hydrocarbon-based liquids such as oils, paints, etc. The principle of the device is based on the generation of plasma in the area of cavitation, i.e. where the liquid is converted into vapour. Hydrodynamic cavitation creates a gaseous environment of saturated vapour which is favourable for igniting a plasma discharge between high voltage electrodes. The plasma discharge induces plasmochemical reactions and UV radiation.

Currently, Masaryk University is already working with commercial partners to put this unique device into practice.
