Abstract

The electron beam flue gas treatment technology has proved succesful in a pilot plant scale and came into industrial applications, Industrial installation is under operation at Chengdu Electric Power Station in China, another is under construction at EPS Nagoya in Japan. The Polish industrial installation is being examined for continuous operation. In this installation 270,000 Nm³/h will be purified with the efficiencies of simultaneous removal of 70% of SO₂ and 80% of NO_x. In the paper Polish experiences in design and construction of EB plants are presented. Recent year brought new regulation and international obligation considering the emission of organic compounds, and hence there is a need to look for new, effective methods to control these pollutants. The results of preliminary experiments in a pilot plant for volatile organic compounds removal by electron beam (EB) are presented as well.
