METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ELECTRONIC PASTEURIZATION

摘要

A method and system for electronic pasteurization using an electron beam is provided. The electronic pasteurizaiton system (20) may comprise a modular accelerator (22a), a modular electron beam transport system (24a), and at least one treatment station (26). The modular accelerator (22) produces a plurality of independent electron beams (28). The modular electron beam transport system (24a) communicates the electron beams (28) to the treatment stations (26). A target (30) is irradiated with the electron beam (28) within the treatment station (26) multilayer shielding.
