Remotely replaceable and testable off-gas filter system for the NWCF

Creators

Description

The process off-gas filter system designed for use in the New Waste Calcining Facility (NWCF) requires remote filter removal, replacement and in-place DOP testing. A series of full-scale mockup tests, modifications and retesting at the Remote Maintenance Development Facility (RMDF) resulted in a system in which a commercial High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter can be installed, tested for leaks, operated and removed from a sealed filter housing using remote handling methods. This paper describes the development, testing and results of this effort
