A large amount of wastewater is produced in nuclear power plants. This contains low-radioactive impurities in very high dilution. In order to reduce both the high disposal costs and the amount of waste, the radioactive water is concentrated using large-scale rotary evaporators. In this way, a large proportion of the water can be recovered and only the concentrates have to be disposed of.
A nuclear power plant in Northern Germany* operates with several Distimatic Industrial Platinum 8 packages. This results in a distillation rate of up to 4.4 liters of water per hour per system.
Distimatic Industrial Platinum 8 package
-
High-performance glassware set with riser tube for the best possible separation of impurities and water
-
Processing of large quantities of wastewater through the automatic make-up in the evaporation flask
-
Recover up to 105 liters of water per day safely and unattended in 24/7 operation
To show you the wide variety of possible applications for the Hei-VOLUME Distimatic automatic modules, we have put together the most exciting applications of our customers for you in a booklet. Enjoy discovering the possibilities!
