Abstract

Summary form only given. Systematic work concerning electron beam flue gas treatment process upscaling has been performed at the Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology since 1986. A laboratory unit with gas flow 400 Nm/sup 3//h has been constructed (accelerator beam power 20 kW, energy 0.7-2 MeV). The industrial plant with gas flow 20000 Nm/sup 3//h (two accelerators 50 kW, 0.8 MeV) has been built at EPS Kaweczyn. Finally, a design of 270000 Nm/sup 3//h industrial plant (four accelerators 300 kW, 0.8 MeV) to be built at EPS Pomorzany has been prepared. Several new solutions, mostly leading to power consumption reduction, were introduced. The longitudinal, double gas irradiation was applied among them. The technical-economical analysis proved that the process is very competitive with conventional technologies widely used for flue gas purification.
