SEID provides environment-friendly air pollution reduction technology
- Published 22 March 2023; updated 21 September 2026; estimated reading time 3 minutes. Listed under Industrial production.
- SEID’s ModuPlasma™ uses a non-thermal plasma reaction chamber to treat industrial exhaust, break down volatile organic compounds and remove odours and other pollutants. The polluted airstream is treated directly without adding filters, ozone or radicals from outside. The company says a single modular unit can handle up to 60,000 cubic metres per hour, with systems scalable to larger volumes.
- ModuPower® is SEID’s high-voltage switch-mode power supply for the plasma system; the page also says it can power large electrostatic filters at power plants, cement factories and other combustion-based facilities. The company attributes energy savings to the plasma unit’s low pressure drop, which reduces the fan power needed to move air. It says the process uses no additives, chemicals or replaceable filters; wastewater from its built-in water-washing system is described as the only generated waste.
- The article presents industrial air pollution as a health and quality-of-life concern and says factories commonly use physical filtration or chemical treatment. SEID describes ModuPlasma as having low operating and maintenance costs compared with other industrial alternatives.
- SEID says it was established in 1997 and had delivered over 2,500 air-treatment modules to customers in 34 countries. Market context cites a 2019 global VOC/odour-control market estimate of USD 5.1 billion, forecast at USD 7.6 billion by 2027; that forecast year has passed. It also cites a 2019 industrial-filtration market estimate of USD 10.4 billion.
