Filtration system for China’s 4G nuclear reactor
P
orvair Filtration Group is supplying a prestigious academic institution in Beijing, China, with a self-cleaning high pressure h elium filtration system for use in the fuel handling system in their ground breaking, developmental high temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor. At present, the vast majority of nuclear power plants operating globally still uses second generation or improved second generation technology. The development of a 50-100mWE output Pebble Bed Modular (PBMR) high temperature gas- cooled reactor plant in China offers significant benefits over previous generation systems in terms of operational safety and increased efficiency of thermoelectric conversion. The High
Temperature Gas Reactor (HTGR) is a fourth generation development that uses a graphite-
moderated nuclear reactor with a once-through uranium fuel cycle. The high operational temperature (1000°C) of the new 4G nuclear reactor also enables economic implementation of applications such as process heat or hydrogen production via the thermochemical sulphur-iodine cycle. Porvair Filtration Group is actively involved in virtually every
step of the nuclear fuel production process including uranium concentrate and spent fuel reprocessing, the production of uranium and plutonium oxides, the treatment of off-gases and the protection of HEPA banks. Porvair’s filtration products are also used in venting of fluidised bed processes, powder transport and collection, glove box venting and sintering furnace off-gas purification Porvair Filtration Group - based in Fareham, Hampshire, UK - has more than 25 years experience in supplying high quality filtration solutions for nuclear power generation, fuel production, reprocessing, decontamination and decommissioning and waste packaging applications in Europe, the USA and the UK. As an engineering company specialising in the filtration
industry, Porvair Filtration Group is able to take an initial discussion to a fully optimised solution, meeting material, code and technical requirements thereby providing a total solution to a specific problem. ●
