Startup NASA Feature Webinar: Electrostatic Spraying Systems (ESS)

Join us for a special webinar featuring Electrostatic Spraying Systems Inc. (ESS), a company redefining spray technology with their groundbreaking MaxCharge™ electrostatic sprayers. Learn how ESS evolved from a pioneering startup to a trusted leader in food safety, sustainable agriculture, and industrial sanitization. We will also explore how their collaboration with NASA led to development of advanced nozzle technology, originally designed for space, now transforming chemical applications here on Earth. Hear directly from ESS President Bruce Whiting as he shares the company's journey.

Twenty-five years ago, Mr. Whiting recognized the long-term benefits of a revolutionary spray technology, developed at the University of Georgia (UGA). This electrostatic spray system converts one normal droplet, through patented technologies, into nearly one thousand tiny droplets, and then an electrostatic charge is induced onto each droplet to achieve maximum spray coverage. Recently, NASA engineers, leveraging what had been achieved by UGA and ESS, took electrostatics a step further in developing a new electrostatic nozzle for use in space exploration. This new patented nozzle was then licensed back to ESS, for use exclusively in food safety, which is resulting in less salmonella, listeria, and bacteria on food. Mr. Whiting is proud of the widespread benefits to food safety resulting from the collaboration between ESS and NASA. He holds a bachelor’s degree in accounting and a Juris Doctor from Brigham Young University.
