DecomClear® NORM FILTER
Engineered for the removal of radioactive salts dissolved in water.
Product Overview
Water based NORM treatments are often seen to be creating more problems in terms of radioactive waste than the original waste volumes that a client starts with.
DecomClear® NORM FILTER is engineered for the removal of radioactive salts dissolved in water. It is intended to be used following DecomClear® NORM STRIP or DecomClear® NORM BIND cleaning operations as part of a comprehensive process to produce wastewater that is free of radioactivity.
This product ensures the efficient and effective decontamination of aqueous streams, aligning with safety and environmental regulations regarding radioactive waste management.
Utilizing cutting-edge co-precipitation and enhanced coagulation techniques, this powerful product effectively targets radio-toxic radium and other radioactive salts, transforming them into water-insoluble salts.
The insoluble salts can now be efficiently separated from the water using gravity differential techniques or other filtration methods. The result is water that is free from radioactive contaminants, which can then be safely recycled back into your processes or responsibly disposed of through conventional wastewater treatment facilities.
Expectations in terms of volumes of end waste are in the few percent of the original volume so allowing comparatively inexpensive waste disposal.
Execution
As a water-soluble product, DecomClear® NORM FILTER is effortlessly added directly to water streams containing dissolved radioactive materials. For best results, it is advised to effectively circulate APAC Decon NORM FILTER with the wastewater stream in the treatment vessel prior to dewatering. Depending on the level of contamination, typical dosages range from 2-5% of the water volume, with potential increases up to 10% to ensure complete decontamination.
DecomClear® NORM FILTER is recognised for its safety and non-hazardous properties.
Additionally, while it is not biodegradable due to its lack of organic compounds, its application and disposal are compliant with local and international safety standards, ensuring environmental integrity.
Collection and disposal, as well as proper handling of the precipitated radioactive solids, is crucial and must adhere to local regulatory requirements to ensure safe and compliant disposal through a licensed operator.
