Our Mission

SRF Systems is an innovation engine for the development and integration of compact, powerful linear accelerator systems. We we work with our partners to integrate the direct nature of a continuous beam of 10MeV electrons into industrial waste stream processes. Our next generation capabilities unlock market requirements with unrivaled wall plug to beam power efficiencies. Electrons by nature; as a clean energy, can alter and amend difficult compounds with precision and direct simplicity. Electron beams have the capacity to decrease digestion times, increase bioavailability and sanitize waste streams. We are focused on transforming biosolids and bioenergy within a waste stream to circularity framework and effectively aligning a cascade of public health and economic benefits.

Technology Overview

A cyrocooled linear accelerator with an energetic SRF electron beam provides several distinct differentiators in the wastewater and biosolids remediation spaces. On a fundamental level, an electron with a 10MeV charge can penetrate and quickly affect materials where larger, less energetic, ionized particles struggle. This is beneficial for processing streams of material in real time. The efficiencies are readily apparent in a range of processes related to: radiolysis, catalytic processes, anaerobic digestion, resource recovery, and sanitization.

As a descendant of many decades of industrial accelerator technologies and state of the art National Lab equipment; the SRF device was designed specifically for medium energy, industrial applications as an efficient, simplified, and compact solution. It operates below regulatory thresholds for radiative devices and can simplify or enhance many chemical and processing regimes. An evolutionary technological leap designed to address industrial applications with higher beam power and energy efficiencies.

Value Statement

As hardware and process integrators for performance tuned accelerators we deliver scientific rigor and training for next generation, clean technology for waste stream processes. A SRF continuous wave, electron beam operates with up to 90% efficiency in the upper power ranges. This compact device has a simplified cryocooling system which no longer requires large helium based facilities. The smaller form factor fits into a 20’ shipping container which facilitates the integration and deployment into existing treatment trains. This cost effective delivery of energy to the material is a leap past current accelerator’s capabilities and waste stream treatment regimes.

Electrons efficiently break bonds and alter materials which simplifies current practices and economic hurdles for deployment. Accelerator treated biosmaterials of waste feedstocks (biosolids, manures, ligno-cellulosic, food scraps…) improves digestion times and benefits agricultural, public health, environmental, and climate outcomes. E beams can simplify treatments for pollutants and pathogens and reduce the need for additional chemicals and energy intensive steps. The source material can then be converted to energy and safely returned to the land.
