Avantech, Inc. products

AVANTech`s Advanced Liquid TReatment with Ion Exchange (ATREX™) system, the selective treatment and radionuclide removal system, uses advanced technology developed to remove selected impurities from facility wastewater, minimizing personnel exposure and waste generation.

A VANTech `s patented Rad waste Reverse Osmosis (RWRO) System revolutionizes liquid radwaste processing in Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs). This system decontaminates even hard-to-process water (such as water from outage or from sluicing spent primary resin) to near minimum detectable amounts (MDA) in a single pass.

Mechanical filtration is an essential element of wastewater processing. In the nuclear industry, radwaste in particular, filtration is particulars problematic because of the personnel exposure and contamination associated with filter handling. Over the last five years, AVANTech has integrated the proven Solids Collection Filter (SCF™) technology used in torus and spent fuel pool clean-up systems into liquid radwaste products (liners and individual canisters). The same advantages seen with the SCPM products can now be used in liquid radwaste processing systems to save time, dose, and manpower.

Advanced Technologies for Recycling 100% of Floor and Equipment Drain Water. AVANTech`s Ultrex Wastewater Recovery System uses advanced technologies specifically developed to produce superior product water quality while minimizing personnel exposure and
waste generation.

A VANTech offers a revolutionary new filter to collect and dispose of solids from suppression and fuel pools, sumps, and tanks. By collecting solids right in the disposal container, our SCFTV eliminates costly steps for solids separation and reduces waste handling, contamination, and personnel exposure. By eliminating the need for secondary processing such as drying or solidification of solids, it saves money and manpower.

The air-operated diaphragm (AOD) pumps used for "pump-and-wait" dewatering draw a vacuum and also a low volume of air. Water that collects in and around dewatering internals is pulled into and through the dewatering piping. Any air entrapped in the system may prevent the water from being pulled up and out of the piping unless there is a good water seal on the internals. When this seal is broken, any water entrained in the unit will drop back down the piping into the container. For many applications, this process scheme may be adequate, but sometimes the demands are greater.

When poly high integrity containers (HICs) are not required, tremendous savings can be achieved by using AVANTech Steel Containers (ASCs). Standard sizes are shown in the table below. We can also customize to meet your needs. Please call for containers with other dimensions or
features.

A VANTech and Waste Control Specialists (WCS) are offering a new alternative to the single-use steel liners or High Integrity Containers (HICs) currently in use at Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) for the disposition ofsluiceable spent water treatment media. This new AVANTech/ WCS patent-pending alternative is called the Volume Reduction Container (VRC). The VRC is comprised of two major components: the Reusable Shell and a replaceable Reload Kit.

A VANTech offers a patented smart-loading approach to package both high activity and low activity radioactive treatment media, spent resin, and other filter media into a single one-use AVANTech Steel Container (ASC).

AVANTech has received a Certificate of Compliance from the State of South Carolina for the next generation of RadSafe™ High Integrity Containers (HICs). These steel/high-density cross-linked polyethylene containers have been optimized with larger internal volumes for wet low-level radioactive wastes.
