Recommended application field: These static eliminatirs may be employed in the chemical, textile, printing and ither industries including the manufacture and treatment of film, sheet and powder materials which are susceptible to static electrification.

Advantages over analogues: Vain Advantages: - high efficiecy and complete autonomy; - compactness, simplicity and convenience in service; - reliability and durability; - operation of these eliminators is possible even in explosion and firehazard conditions; - operate independently of power sources; - may be used in a wide variety of industrial needs; - inexpensive; - tcological hazards are essentially nonexistent. This product is designed to eliminate electrostatic charges that arise during the treatment of materials highly susceptible to electrification. As such, these eliminators help to reduce unforeseen outages and external interference in process such as material crushing, photomaterial exposure, etc., to increase worker safety by decreasing the probability of occurrence of fires and explosions connected to spark formation, and to minimize electrostatic field effects on workers and the working environment.

The development stage readiness: Tested experimental exploitation order

Description of the development:
()
Tritium sources for generating soft beta-radiation (BITr-M) are at the static eliminators developed by physicists at the Kyiv Institute for Nuclear Research. The sources themselves are comprised of a thin film (0.5 mkm) of titanium metal impregnated with tritium deposited on molybdenum backing material. The working surface of the source is covered with a protective film made of either silicon monoxide or dioxsde. Tritium used in BITr-M is a pure beta-radiator whichemits the lowest maximum energy (18.6 keV) among all known isotopes. It permits and essentially unimited use of these static eliminators in production facilities without having to employ special radiation protection measures where, in some cases, there is no option other than the use of these static eliminators.These static eliminators operate under the principle that air flowing past the working material is ionized by the beta radiation (electrons) which is then able to attract and neutrolize latent charges (of opposite polarity) accumulated in the working environment. The ionization current produced by the BITr-M is 1,5x10[-8] A/cm[2]. Based on clint needs, these eliminators may be constructed to match the specific working environment. In one example, the sources are set in proximity (1-3 cm) to electrifiable material while an ionization current is maintained due to the electrostatic charge. The required ionization current from the working surface is provided by the choice of BITr-M sources. As such, static eliminators may be produced to meet the specific needs of the client. The static eliminator service life is no less than 8 year.
