**AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** EFFECTIVE POST-HARVEST FOOD CLEANING AND SANITATION ARE CRITICAL TO PRESERVE FOOD QUALITY, REDUCE HEALTH RISKS, AND PROLONG THE FOOD SHELF LIFE TO REDUCE WASTE. CURRENTLY, LOW-TEMPERATURE PLASMA (LTP) IS AN EMERGING TECHNOLOGY IN BOTH PRE-AND POST-HARVEST FOOD TREATMENT FOR ITS LOW ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT, HIGH EFFICACY, AND DECENTRALIZED OPERATION. HOWEVER, CURRENT LTP TECHNOLOGIES FOR WATER TREATMENT, ALTHOUGH BEING EXTENSIVELY STUDIED ON THEIR SANITATION PERFORMANCE, ARE TYPICALLY NOT SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS WHERE HIGH-THROUGHPUT CONTINUOUS TREATMENT AND HIGH ENERGY EFFICIENCY ARE DESIRED.THIS PROJECT AIMS TO DEVELOP A NEW HIGH-THROUGHPUT LTP SYSTEM TO GENERATE PLASMA-ACTIVATED WATER (PAW) TO ADDRESS FOOD SAFETY ININDUSTRIAL FOOD PROCESSING FACILITIES. COMPARED WITH CURRENT MAINSTREAM LTP TECHNOLOGIES THAT ADOPT BATCH TREATMENT WITH LIMITED THROUGHPUT, THE PROPOSED SYSTEM FEATURES INNOVATIVE STACK WIRE DIELECTRIC BARRIER DISCHARGE (SWDBD) REACTOR THAT CAN PERFORM CONTINUOUS WATER FLOW TREATMENT. IN ADDITION, AN ENERGY-EFFICIENT HIGH-FREQUENCY POWER SUPPLY WITH AN ENERGY HARVEST UNIT WILL BE UTILIZED TO IMPROVE ENERGY EFFICIENCY. FURTHER, THE PROPOSED SYSTEM CAN BE EASILY SCALED-UP AND DEPLOYED AS AN ADD-ON SYSTEM TO THE CURRENT WATER PIPE TO TREAT VARIOUS FOOD PRODUCTS.
