Abstract
An electron beam source or generator is described for the treatment of toxic materials in a treatment system in which electron beams are reacted with a flowing influent in a reaction chamber. The system is modular allowing different configurations as demanded by the site and by the clean-up job. It is also portable in that it can be easily moved from place to place. If mounted on a movable base it can be taken from place to place for use.
Claims8
A processing unit to treat organic compounds with an electron beam comprising a reaction chamber,
- a source of electrons to direct electrons into said reaction chamber at a power level to cause chemical transformations in said reaction chamber of a flow of organic compounds feeding through said reaction chamber,
- and controls to pulse said power level of said source of electrons to a higher peak power to enhance transformations in said reaction chamber.
A processing unit to treat organic compounds with an electron beam comprising a reaction chamber,
- a source of electrons to direct electrons into said reaction chamber at a power level to cause chemical transformations in said reaction chamber of a flow of organic compounds passing through said reaction chamber,
- and a vacuum pumping system connected to said source of electrons to assure vacuum conditions at said source during the application of electrons to said reaction chamber.
