Air Filtration Solutions for Nuclear Facilities

The nuclear technology process involves the nuclear reactions between the atomic nuclei. Uranium dust and radioactive contaminants such as aerosols, dust, fumes, mists, and smoke are the common exhausts from nuclear facilities.

Nuclear technology serves many important purposes in our daily lives, and its uses are anticipated to spread across a wide range of industries in the future. The well-known applications are in medicine manufacturing, electricity generation, agriculture, artifacts testing processes, food preservation, water sustainability, research, industrial processes, aeronautics, military weapons, quality control processes, and space navigation.

The fundamental risk in the application of this adaptable technology is human exposure to ionizing radiation.

The omission of particulate radioactive materials, gas-phase pollutants from the exhaust air is essential in preventing unsafe exposure by facility personnel and surrounding environments.

Nuclear power plants are another key component of the nuclear industry. A nuclear power plant uses a nuclear fission reaction to generate electricity. Nuclear power plants have a lesser carbon footprint comparable to that of other notable processes.

Air purification and maintaining quality air along with containment systems are most vital in minimizing public exposure to radiation and protecting public safety inside and outside the nuclear power station. Nuclear power plants require cooling towers and air cooling systems to maintain atmospheric temperatures for safe operations and to prevent system downtime.

Containment Filtration for Critical Nuclear Applications

Containment filtration systems are designed, developed, and manufactured to exact standards for the control of dangerous particulate radioactive material generated by nuclear technology applications. High-quality, customized total containment filtration systems manufactured by a single source ensure application compatibility and maximum performance reliability, in order to mitigate the risk of exposure to dangerous radioactive contaminants.

AAF specializes in the design, manufacturing, and testing of complete, custom containment filtration systems incorporating high-efficiency particulate and gas-phase filters that provide ventilation, air treatment, and contaminant containment for facilities employing nuclear technology.

We also custom design and manufacture nuclear cooling coils, tested to ASME’s nuclear component certification standards; containment and safety coolers; and air handling units for maintaining required atmospheric temperatures within a nuclear facility.

Optimize Your Filtration and Improve Your Environment

A thorough air filter audit of your HVAC systems is the first step that AAF takes, in order to provide you professional guidance and analysis for cost savings and liability reduction. By conducting this audit, we strive to understand your current state and advise you on how your facility could perform better, helping you save money, reduce risk, and save time.

Contact your AAF representative to schedule an audit and to find out how the insights from intelligent data tools, including TCO Diagnostic® and Sensor360®, can improve operational outcomes and save you time and money.
