Claim 0:
1. A device for treating unwanted material in a coolant comprising:
a plasma discharge section configured as a plurality of immersible and parallel, dielectric barrier discharge elements, where the number of elements is based on the mass flow rate of the coolant,
each of the plurality of immersible and parallel, dielectric barrier discharge elements operable to separately receive a respective, different portion of the coolant in parallel, and, each element comprising (i) at least one negatively charged electrode comprising a side covered by a dielectric and another side uncovered by the dielectric or another dielectric and at least one positively charged electrode operable to generate one or more full or partial plasma discharges within the respective portion of the coolant to create reactive and molecular species of ions in the respective portion of the coolant to treat the unwanted material, where the unwanted material comprises biofilm or Legionella.
