Description
Fisica Applied Technologies, inc. (ATI) has designed and built e-beam sterilization systems, Flash-X-Ray systems, and many of the high pulsed power systems in the U.S. over the last 50 years. Our systems often use Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6 ) as an insulating gas. The global warming potential (GWP) of SF6 is approximately 23,500 times greater than carbon dioxide (CO2); because of this, there has been an increase in regulatory scrutiny and efforts to reduce SF6 emissions. Fisica has been successful in replacing SF6 with Dry Air (GWP <1) for many pulsed power applications and is investigating the use of other low-GWP gases. In this presentation, we will explore potential alternatives for transitioning our e-beam linac system from SF6 to environmentally sustainable, low-GWP gas alternatives.
