Reducing the Volume of Radioactive Liquid Effluents for Final Conditioning
Minimize the volume of your high-activity liquid effluents to optimize their conditioning for long-term disposal.
1
Challenges
Significantly reduce the volume of high-level liquid effluents
(HLW) to improve their interim storage and final conditioning
Ensure safe remote operation and maintenance
of equipment in hostile environments
Adapt your equipment to your challenges
(economic objectives, duration of operations, space requirements on site, etc.)
2
Our Solution
Concentrate
high-level liquid effluents
using robust evaporators designed for the most challenging environments (heat, radioactivity, foaming, precipitation, etc.) for optimised final conditioning.
Implement a proven and safe process
that addresses all chemical and nuclear risks (decay heat, radiolysis, criticality, irradiation, and contamination), as well as environmental constraints
Reduce operating costs through the recycling of certain reagents
Integrate our solutions into your existing environment
: compactness, remote maintenance, inspection during operation, adaptation to your lifespan and installation constraints
Rely on comprehensive support
from scoping to industrial deployment, backed by integrated expertise in R&D, engineering, operations, and lesson learned from field experience
60 years' experience
Design, manufacture, operate HALW evaporators
