ИСТИНА

Electron beam treatment is a well-founded and proven method of neutralizing bio-hazardous pollutants in wastewater. However, the practical applicability and economic efficiency of the method remains the subject of discussion due to the high cost of accelerators and their relatively low power. From a technological point of view, the possibility of using modern accelerators for treating effluents with an electron beam at a flow rate of more than 20,000 m3 per day is being considered. The equipment of an accelerator with several accelerating tubes is compared with a multi-window arrangement based on one accelerator tube. Evaluation calculations show the possibility of irradiating up to 213,000 m3 per day with a single accelerator.
