Radiation processing Control and dosimetry

Radiation processing consists in exposing a product to an electron or X-ray beam from an accelerator or to Gamma rays emitted by a radioactive source.

This treatment is characterized by the dose, the amount of absorbed energy per mass unit of the treated product. The dose unit is the Gray (Gy). 1 Gray = 1 Joule absorbed per kilogram of irradiated material. This process can be applied to many product covering very wide industrial sectors. 

Aerial is to assist its partners in various aspect of radiation processing control and dosimetry.

Irradiation tests and optimization for the benefit of industries/laboratories

Sectors concerned are :

  • Sectors concerned are :
  • Packaging (decontamination, sterilization,…)
  • Medical and paramedical devices (sterilization)
  • Para-pharmacy and cosmetology (aseptization, sterilization,…)
  • Environment (treatment of waste, water, poluants…)
  • Polymer materials (improvement of chemical properties)
  • Electronics (modification of semiconductors electrical conduction properties)
  • Jewellery and cosmetics (colouring of semi-precious stones and glasses)
