Porvair Filtration Group is
supplying a prestigious academic institution in Beijing, China, with a self
cleaning high pressure Helium 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 50-100 mWE 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
sulfur-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 innovative filtration
products are also used in venting of fluidized bed processes, powder transport
and collection, glove box venting and sintering furnace off-gas purification.
Porvair Filtration Group 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
