Electron Accelerator Technology
Our MeV energy electron beam R&D program is ongoing
MeV-Energy Industrial Electron Accelerator
Applications include food and medical sterilization, coloring of precious stones, cross-linking in thick materials, wastewater treatment, and X-ray generator construction.
Electron irradiation devices are more reliable than traditional gamma irradiation devices as they produce radiation only when the device is operating and direct it to the targeted area. In emergencies, cutting off the power completely eliminates the radiation hazard. Additionally, the irradiation time is shorter compared to gamma irradiation devices. While products in gamma irradiation devices need to be moved around the source to receive radiation from multiple angles, in electron beam irradiation, a single pass through the irradiation area is sufficient.

Electron accelerators with energies between 5-10 MeV are widely used in the industry for medical accelerators (radiotherapy), medical device sterilization, and food irradiation. Accelerators with energies between 400 keV-5 MeV can be used to enhance the durability of cables and vehicle tires (crosslinking), clean factory flues (flue gas treatment), and treat wastewater.
Polymers are widely used in many areas, primarily in the production of cables and vehicle tires. To increase the durability of polymers, electron beam irradiation can be applied. This process causes the polymer's molecular structures to bond, resulting in the production of high-value, durable polymers.
Electron beam technology can process nitrogen and sulfur oxides in the smoke from coal-fired factories, achieving up to 90% improvement and significantly reducing air pollution. The required expenditure is about 1% of the factory's electricity consumption. In a pilot factory in Poland, it was observed that electron beam technology eliminated 95% of sulfur dioxide and 90% of nitrogen dioxide in the flue gases. These gases cause acid rain and smog.
