A dielectric barrier discharge plasma generator includes a dielectric chamber. The chamber contains or incorporates a solid surface that is to be treated with non-thermal plasma. The chamber can be substantially sealed and confine an atmosphere therein. An atmosphere control system is provided for controlling the atmosphere within the chamber. At least one or two electrodes are located outside of the chamber. When actuated by an appropriate source of plasma generating electrical power the electrodes cause the generation of a solid surface modifying non-thermal plasma in a plasma zone within the chamber. A transport system is provided for moving the electrode and the chamber relative to one another. A plasma zone is confined within the chamber adjacent to the electrodes, and remains substantially stationary relative to the electrodes. The chamber carries the solid surface through the plasma zone. The solid surface remains substantially stationary relative to the chamber. |
