Summary
Developed a technology that generates plasma activated water in ph ranges that allow for the addition of nitrates and other nutrients to the water while maintaining a healthy ph for plants. A plasma torch is used to treat inedible biomass, generating ash containing nutrients useful for plant growth. The same plasma torch is also used to treat water, which results in the formation of nitric acid that lowers the ph of the water. Adding the plasma generated ash to the plasma treated water can balance the ph of the water to make it suitable for plant growth while simultaneously adding nutrients recycled from the inedible biomass to further enhance plant development.
