Experimental Investigation of In Situ Cleanable HEPA Filters

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5017

The Westinghouse Savannah River Company located at the Savannah River Site in Aiken, South Carolina is currently testing the feasibility of developing an in situ cleanable high efficiency particulate air filter system. Sintered metal filters are being tested for regenerability or cleanability in simulated conditions found in a high level waste (HLW) tank ventilation system. The filters are being challenged using materials found in HLW tanks. HLW simulated salt, HLW simulated sludge and South Carolina road dust. Various cleaning solutions have been used to clean the filters in situ.
