Avantech - Solids Collection Filter (SCF)
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 Canister Concept
The main components of the SCF™ system are special filter canisters. When dose is not a major concern or solids volumes are small, these canisters can be used as "stand-alone" units, without a liner. When a large volume of solids is expected or several cleanings are planned, the canisters may be contained in a liner.
Each canister contains from one to seven filter elements. As these elements capture solids, excess solids fall from the elements and collect in the bottom of the canisters. Clean filtrate is produced for recycle or discharge.
Packaging and Disposal
The SCF™ is operated until the filter banks are fully loaded with solids or administrative dose limits are reached. If the canisters are in a liner, spent resin can be sluiced to the liner to fill the voids around the canisters to maximal packaging efficiency.
The canisters or liners are dewatered using an AVANTech dewatering procedure approved by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC). This assures compliance with the 0.5% Free-Standing Water (FSW) disposal requirement.
