The developed under beam system and dose modelling methods can be applied for the design of wastewater treatment plants to minimize generation of X-ray radiation and reduce shielding thickness and construction cost. Electron beam wastewater treatment is effective for destruction of pollutants and can be used for various end-users and in confined spaces.
Featured Application The developed under beam system and dose modelling methods can be applied for the design of wastewater treatment plants to minimize generation of X-ray radiation, leading to reduction of shielding thickness and its construction cost. Electron beam wastewater treatment is a very effective method for the destruction of organic and microbiological pollutants. The technology was implemented for municipal and textile industry wastewater treatment. Availability of electron accelerators characterized with different operation parameters make the technology applicable for different end-users and also for installation in confined spaces. In such a case, the design of wastewater irradiation room has to take into account the limited space available for shielding construction, which must restrict X-ray emission. Considering construction of an irradiation room for water treatment facility, it is important to focus not only on a stream formation for irradiation to achieve the desired electron penetration, but also on the reduction in x-ray generation. In the presented work, the X-ray field was tested, using modelling and experimental methods. The final results gave an advanced solution, which can be used in the installation of wastewater treatment, ballast and other types of origin, providing low cost shield and good radiation protection measures.
