The main parameters for controlling the treatment process include the voltage, width of the air gap, film/web speed, and the width of the electrodes. Most machines allow treatment of one side of the web (Fig. 7.9) and require two passes for two-sided treatment. There are machines that are equipped with two sets of electrodes for one pass, two-sided treatment. 

There are several ways to test the level of treatment. One common method involves using solutions made from a mixture of two chemicals that produce liquids (Dyne) with surface tension in the range of
