Pulsed Power Applied to Process Industry

Although historically the applications included particle acceleration, imploding plasmas and related, pulsed power application has emerged to become an important technology in today's industry. Pulsed power refers to the technology where a steady accumulation of energy followed by its rapid release, results in the delivery of instantaneous power over a very short period of time. By releasing the stored energy over a very short interval a large amount of peak power can be delivered to a load. The focus of this paper is on the pulsed power applications to process industry; which include processing of fruit juices, beverages and dairy products along with water treatment.
