Abstract	Development of an Electron Beam Irradiation Design for Use in the Treatment of Municipal Biosolids and Wastewater Effluent. (May 2008) Alexis Dawn Lazarine, B.S. Texas A&M University; M.S. Texas A&M University Co-Chairs of Advisory Committee: Dr. John R. Ford Dr. Suresh D. Pillai The need for pathogen-free water supplies has spurred investigations into the use of ionizing radiation for the treatment of wastewater effluent and municipal biosolids. The objective of this research was to develop an electron-beam irradiation scenario to effectively eliminate microbial pathogens from municipal biosolids and wastewater effluent. The Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP5) radiation transport code was used to simulate the irradiation scenario. Using MCNP5, dual electron-beam sources were modeled as planar surface sources above and below a stainless steel delivery trough containing either effluent water or one of two biosolids material compositions. A dose deposition analysis was performed to assess both the planar dose distribution and 25 depth-dose curves. In addition, a density perturbation study was performed to assess the variance in the dose deposition for different mass solids concentrations.
