Non-thermal plasma has been around a long time. It was observed in a laboratory over a
hundred and fifty years ago. It enjoyed original success for many years by making ozone from
air and water. It was researched to death, but commercially, it remained mainly a laboratory
curiosity. It appears that everyone that has studied the non-thermal plasma process has felt
obligated to change the name of the process. It is called dielectric barrier discharge, dielectric
barrier corona discharge, silent discharge plasma, high energy corona, electron beam plasma,
corona destruction, electro-catalytic oxidation, capillary discharge, and God knows what else.
