Using Science to Usher a New Era of Food Safety & Environmental Consciousness: A Proprietary Solution that is 100% Chemical-Free

    • Food & Crop Loss Reduction

      Reducing Failure from Mold, Fungal & Bacterial Diseases

    • Cost Benefit

      Using Less Utilities For Water Savings

    • Quality Retention

      Demonstrated Increase In Fresh Food Shelf-Life

    • Yield Increase

      Proven Faster Seed Germination & Growth

    What do we do? 

    We Harness The Power of Plasma for Ag-tech
    Lightning Water plasma-treatment systems use plain tap water and ambient air to produce plasma, a natural ionized field, that generates oxygen & nitrogen-rich molecules. We accomplish this by using varying high voltage discharges between our electrodes. That means NO chemical additives and NO artificial preservatives: 100% Organic Application!

    Our systems provide grocers with a safe, proven method to increase their fresh-produce shelf-life, by cleaning food surfaces from pathogens that cause food degradation and foodborne illnesses. We also offer hydroponic and indoor farmers with FASTER seed germination times, better yield quality, and more resilient crops. All backed by science.
