Description

To demonstrate an advanced dissolver off-gas cleaning system, the PASSAT filter system and the WAESCHE off-gas simulation facility have been developed, constructed under licensing conditions pertinent to industrial scale reprocessing plants, and commissioned for trial operation. Major components of the PASSAT off-gas-cleaning system include the series-connected iodine-adsorption filters, for optimum utilization of the iodine-adsorption material, AC 6120, and also the packed-fiber mist eliminator, which has a flushing capability for initial removal of droplets and particles and which was installed to extend the service life of the HEPA filter. The tests performed so far and the experience accumulated in testing these remotely operated filter components under simulated dissolver off-gas conditions, are described and discussed
