This two-day workshop included expert speakers on the current
state of wastewater treatment, a summary of the science of using
electron beam technology for treatment of waste, the current state of
electron beam accelerator technology, a tour of Fermilab National
Accelerator Lab, panel discussions with water treatment experts,
breakout discussions and a summary close-out session.
• Promote use of electron beam technology
for wastewater and biosolids treatment
• Inform water treatment professionals
about electron beam technology and opportunities
• Provide feedback to NSF to open future
funding opportunities
