  Due to increasing environmental and economic constraints, optimization of ion
beam transport and equipment design becomes essential. The future should be
equipped with planet-friendly facilities, that is, solutions that reduce
environmental impact and improve economic competitiveness. The tendency to
increase the intensity of the current and the power of the beams obliges us and
brings us to new challenges. Installations tend to have larger dimensions with
increased areas, volumes, weights and costs. A new ion beam transport prototype
was developed and used as a test bed to identify key issues to reduce beam
losses and preserve transverse phase-space distributions with large acceptance
conditions.
