What Radom does
Radom Corporation is a privately held U.S. industrial technology company, founded in 2003 and headquartered in Pewaukee, Wisconsin, that designs and manufactures microwave plasma sources and torches based on its patented Cerawave™ dielectric resonator technology. The core innovation replaces conventional copper induction coils with high-purity ceramic rings, achieving roughly 100x lower energy losses and enabling electrode-free operation across a power range from 1 kW to 100 kW, with a 1 MW torch currently in development. The company holds 39 international patents protecting the architecture, with reported grid-to-plasma efficiency of 82% on the 100 kW Sirius system.
The product portfolio spans three commercial tiers — the 1.5 kW Altair & Mira benchtop sources for laboratory use, the 10 kW Polaris mid-range source for research and industrial R&D, and the 100 kW Sirius high-power torch for industrial process applications — with a separate Radom Instruments sub-brand addressing adjacent plasma instrumentation markets. Target applications include cement calcination and mineral processing, steel and alternative fuel processing, on-site agricultural nitrogen fixation, hydrogen and syngas generation, PFAS destruction, carbon black production for lithium-ion batteries, and nuclear fusion research support, with future applications in space mission CO₂ reduction under exploration.
The business model combines high-ticket, quote-based B2B hardware sales with custom engineering and integration services (torch holders, injectors, gas adjustments, PLC-based control units) and, in some cases, technology licensing. Go-to-market is sales-led with both direct sales in the U.S. and an international distributor network, supplemented by technical content marketing (white papers, brochures, YouTube demonstrations, and trade show presence). Key strategic relationships include a co-development partnership with Argonne National Laboratory for 1 MW torch demonstration in August 2026, an endorsement from the Nobel Sustainability Trust, and an underlying National Science Foundation grant relationship.
