Impact/Purpose:

information

Description:

The electron accelerator utilized in this treatment process has a potential of 1.5 MeV, rated from 0 to 50 mA, providing radiation doses of 0-850 krad (0-8.5 kGy). The horizontal electron beam is scanned at 200 Hz and impacts the waste stream as it flows over a weir approximately 1.2 m (48") wide. The influent streams (460 L min~1, 120 gal min"1 which can be easily scaled up for larger applications) connected to the accelerator are potable (drinking) water, secondary wastewater effluent, and anaerobically digested sewage sludge.
