Resumo
In the world, there is a growing increase in the demand for water for human consumption, as well as the
prioritization of the use of available water resources for public supply. The treatment of wastewater and
industrial effluents by electron beam irradiation is a promising technique, however, not very widespread in
Brazilian territory. The design and construction of a mobile unit by the Nuclear and Energy Research Institute
(IPEN/CNEN), containing an electron beam accelerator of 0.7 MeV, 20 kW and 640 mm window is innovative
to demonstrate the effects and positive results of this technology. The mobile unit will have as one of its main
advantages the possibility of treating effluents in the place where the source is located, eliminating costs and
bureaucratic problems associated with the transportation of waste, besides publicizing the technology in several
places in the country. To implement the project, IPEN/CNEN has been consolidating partnerships with
national and international companies. The resources for the development of the unit have been supplied by
the Brazilian Innovation Agency (FINEP) and International Atomic Energy Agency, financing the “IAEA TC
Project BRA1035 - Mobile electron beam accelerator to treat and recycle industrial effluents”. The Institute has
associated with a specialized company (Truckvan Industry) in an innovation project for the unit design and
development. Several meetings have been realized with the company and the International Atomic Energy
Agency experts, aiming the compatibility of the design and the exchange of information necessary for the
project development. The idealized project divides the cart in the following modules: a) control room and laboratory
for technical and scientific dissemination of the technology; b) industrial electron beam accelerator,
hydraulic units, ventilation system, cooler and bunker with irradiation device; and c) transformer and power
source supply. A 3D model study of the control room and laboratory space was done to facilitate understanding
the internal distribution of the laboratory analysis equipment (Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry,
Total Organic Carbon and UV-Visible Spectroscopy). The irradiation system with electron accelerators allows
treating different types of effluents. Depending on the effluent, the amount of ionizing radiation energy required
for treatment may vary, as well as the amount of treated effluent per day. For the construction of
the mobile unit, the estimated cost is about US$ 1.5 Million. The type of treated effluent, the treatment cost
per m3/day and other information regarding the cost of maintenance and operation of the mobile unit are
obtained from the Business Plan of the Mobile Unit.
