Abstract
After the completion of the pilot test of Process Development Unit (PDU) located in Indianapolis USA, Ebara Corporation decided to proceed to develop electron beam gas cleanup process (E-beam process) mainly in two directions. One is to fine tune the E-beam process so that it can treat flue gas from utility coal-fired boiler more cost-effectively and also can conform to Japanese regulations applied to utility boiler flue gas, which is supposed to be the most severe regulation in the world. The other is to expand its applications into other kinds of gas treatment, for example, traffic tunnel ventilation gas treatment, incinerator flue gas treatment and the treatment of gases containing various kinds of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In order to achieve these objectives, we are now conducting three pilot plant projects in Japan. In this paper, we will discuss the details of these projects and some test results.
