WASTEWATER SLUDGE TREATMENT USING IONIZING RADIATION

Sludge is rich in many organic nutrients that can be effectively used to benefit humankind. However, sewage sludge may also contain many pathogens such as giardia, campylobacter, E. coli, salmonella, legionella, as well as various chemical contaminants. In case of sludge compliance to sanitary standards in terms of heavy metals content, such sludge may undergo antimicrobial treatment by electron beams.

BEAMCOMPLEX EQUIPMENT FOR WASTEWATER SLUDGE IRRADIATION
Beamcomplex manufactures complexes with electron accelerators and other special equipment for treatment of wastewater sludge and any contaminated water with ionizing radiation (E-beam). Complexes may be placed directly at wastewater treatment facilities and sludge landfills.

E-beam treatment requires a prior advanced laboratory study of chemical, biological, bacterial and other species contained in water.

IONIZING RADIATION TECHNOLOGY FOR WASTEWATER SLUDGE TREATMENT

Ionizing radiation (E-beam) generated by electron accelerators is used for wastewater sludge treatment against pathogens and chemical contaminants.

E-beam penetrate wastewater sludge and effectively eliminate or reduce the number of pathogens and parasites to required limits by inducing breaks in their DNA.

Fertilizer for agriculture

BENEFITS OF WASTEWATER SLUDGE IRRADIATION

High capacity of irradiation treatment compared to other sludge treatment methods
Irradiated wastewater sludge is completely safe for agriculture application as a valuable fertilizer and for urban greening as topsoil
No residual radiation in sludge post treatment by electron beam radiation
Ionizing radiation technology provides natural fertilizers with no chemical contaminants to agricultural companies
Irradiation costs are lower than costs for sludge incineration
No atmospheric pollution from irradiation compared to incineration
Decreased use of chemical fertilizers in agriculture
