Claim 9:
10. A method for treating unwanted material in a coolant comprising:
configuring a plurality of parallel, dielectric barrier discharge elements of a plasma discharge section based on a mass flow rate of the coolant;
separately receiving a different, respective portion of the coolant in each of the plurality of parallel, dielectric barrier discharge elements, each element comprising 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; and
generating one or more full or partial plasma discharges within each respective portion of the coolant in each of the plurality of parallel, dielectric barrier discharge elements 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.
