One of industrial applications using pulsed power technologies is water treatment by streamer discharges. Streamer discharges in liquid generate high electric fields at the tip of streamers, as well as high-energy electrons, ozone, chemically active species, ultraviolet rays and shock waves. All of these may be utilized to sterilize microorganisms and to decompose molecules and materials. Large volume streamer discharges in water have been produced in order to realize industrial applications. A wire to plane electrode has been used. The influences of applied voltage, electrode separation, electrode geometry on streamer discharges in water are described.
