Abstract
The present disclosure describes material surface treatment systems and methods that employ a byproduct treatment system to receive a byproduct generated by application of a plasma, the byproduct treatment system configured to degrade the byproduct and exhaust the degraded byproduct from the material surface treatment. The disclosed byproduct treatment system modifies the byproduct prior to evacuation from the material treatment system in order to reduce or eliminate byproduct contamination into the surrounding atmosphere.
