History
Introduction
Medium Efficiency
High Efficiency
From Zo
to the present day
The story of nuclear power in France began

on 15th December 1948, when a team
of researchers led by Frdric Joliot, were
awarded the Nobel prize for chemistry.
They created the first French fuel cell, Zo,
by the fission of uranium atoms.
Adsorption
Zo allowed initial studies to be carried

out on reactors, to produce radioelements
vital for research and to make all the measurements and all the experiments needed
for the design of the future fleet of French
nuclear reactors.
Casings and filters

Since then, nuclear power has become a

real industry with its specific points and its
specific actors. These are involved in the
extraction of uranium ore, in the transformation of this ore into enriched uranium,
in the recycling of uranium or even, for
example, in the construction of nuclear
power stations or waste processing.
The story starts in 1928. At that time Mr

Poelman was a chemical engineer and
worked in a workshop for manufacturing
costume jewellery. He developed a pleated
paper filter to protect workers from collodion (a mixture of ether, nitrocellulose, and
ethyl alcohol. During an exhibition, the
military became very interested in the potential uses of the filter. Mr Poelman then
started manufacturing filters for breathing
masks for the French army.
The company ULTRAFILTRES POELMAN
was created in 1930.
During the 1930s and 1940s, the company developed filter papers for military
and civilian use. Thus, in 1935-1936,
ULTRAFILTRES POELMAN equipped the
Maginot line with filters and then civilian
shelters. At the same time, Mr Poelman
became interested in air filtration for industrial customers. Thus, in 1953, the first filters for glove boxes appeared (derivatives
of military cartridges) and the first filters
in the shape of V-packs. These filters used
mini-pleats pleated paper technology.
In the same year, the company became
SCHNEIDER-POELMAN.
1954 marked the start of a co-operation with CEA (Commisariat lEnergie
Atomique).
At the same time, 1950 saw the creation
of an air filtration department within the
SOCIT FRANAISE DACETYLNE
(SFA), a branch of Soudure Autogne
Franaise (Air Liquide Group).
In 1959 development began on a media
based upon glass fiber. Prior to the use of
glass fibers; flammable cellulosic paper
was used for filtration media.
Saint Gobain was entrusted by the CEA to

develop this media as the result of a fire at
a fuel reprocessing site.
The manufacture of the first cells started at
the SFA factory in 1963.
In 1967, SOFILTRA was created, from
a merger between the companies SAINT
GOBAIN TECHNIQUES NOUVELLES and
SFA.
In 1976, in order to counteract foreign
competition, requested by the French
administration and EDF, SOFILTRA and
SCHNEIDER-POELMAN merged to create
SOFILTRA-POELMAN. This new company
then brought together all the experience
already acquired over several years in
terms of air filtration in a nuclear environment with, on the one hand, the cage-installed V-pack filter technology developed
by Schneider-Poelman, and, on the other
hand, a system of tight lock casing cells
inherited from Sofiltra.
In 1990, the Saint Gobain group sold
Sofiltra-Poleman to Camfil in order to focus
on its core glass business. This merger formed SOFILTRA-CAMFIL.
In 1994, the company was renamed
CAMFIL. Finally, in 2001, following the
buyout of the American company FARR,
Camfil became CAMFIL FARR, the world
leader in air filtration.
Since the 1970s, the development of
CAMFIL FARR has accompanied the development of researches and of the french
nuclear industry with the manufacture of
products like Sofilair, CTHEN filters, prefilters, settling tank canisters, carbon filters
and casings.
The main application of nuclear power

is for the production of electricity: Eighty
percent of the electricity produced in
France today comes from nuclear power.
However, with the progress of knowledge,

new applications have appeared. So, today, nuclear power allows us to date, in
particular, natural phenomena thanks to
isotopic dating and offers a diagnostic possibility thanks to medical imagery.

High Efficiency
For this we have a Quality culture acquired

over a long time based on manufacturing
and verification processes, components
and qualified personnel.
A Quality Management System

that complies with ISO 9001
Today, Quality is not only linked to product

manufacturing but is also part of all the
companys processes (see chart).
Through ISO 9001 certification, we have
implemented all the foundations of the
quality management system in terms of:
System steering: this is described

through our management process. The
QSEE Manager runs this, in particular,
via a network of QSE contacts integrated
into different departments.
Resource management: the support
services make available to Camfil Farr
skills adapted to making its products
and services and supply and maintain
the infrastructures needed for the company to run efficiently.
Documentation management: the quality documentation is considered to be a
work tool allowing us to standardise our
work methods and promote adaptability.
Records are made for our customers as
a proof of their actual implementation.
Traceability: the products are all put
into batches in relation to the manufacturing order number and, for Very
High Efficiency products, a unique serial
number allows us to trace the production and verification operations.
Measure, analyse, improvement: at
the different stages of the production
process, some controls are made by
qualified staff with calibrated material,
and the results of these controls are
analysed.
We have also focused on continuous improvement principle the crowning achievement of the Groups industrial policy, the
Green Tornado. The objective being to
continuously improve ourselves in 4 priority areas, which are:
security,
quality and sustainable development,
service,
costs,
while respecting the companys fundamental values.

The Camfil FARR group declares its determination to contribute every day to the
quality of the air that we breathe and
has followed, for nearly half a century,
the path of Sustainable Development.
This approach can be seen in the setting
up of a Sustainable Development Policy,
Camfilcaring.
The specific aspects of the ISO 14001

standard are dealt with through identification procedures for environmental aspects,
regulatory monitoring, waste processing,

In 2009, the Camfil Farr group published

the First Sustainable Development Report
in the world on air filtration. This report
puts into words our response to the challenges of air pollution and global warming
as well as the key focuses of the company
for our employees, our clients and the
stakeholders.
Finally, in accordance with our environmental policy, many actions have been implemented since 2006 in order to improve
the energy performance of our production
site. This will can be illustrated by the setting up of an Energy Management System
and being awarded EN 16001 certification in May 2011.

In the same approach, concerned with the

health and safety of our personnel and the
companies working on our production site,
we set up a Safety Management System in
accordance with standard OHSAS 18001

Introduction
The Camfil Farr ADVANTAGES
The unique specifications of our equipment
Medium Efficiency
A filtration barrier is an operational device installed in a ventilation network. It is composed of a

filtering item (filter), its casing, platform, casing, and dampers.
Guaranteed efficiency
During the design and the sizing of any item, it is essential to consider all the data for
each other item included in the filtration barrier.
High Efficiency
For example, clamping equipment (tray, shafts, cams, etc.) is designed depending on
the mechanical performances of the filter components (frame, gasket, sealant, etc.). The
consideration of all this data determines the sizing and the design of the casing gasket
seat.
CAMFIL FARR designs, manufactures and controls all these items (filter, casing, and
damper) depending on the different requirements.
This ensures guaranteed results during in situ tests and the efficiency of the installation
when operating.
N.B.: Our responsibility is expressly limited to all the CAMIL FARR model filtering barriers. In particular, it cannot,
in any case, be claimed in the case of assembly with equipment from different brands.
Temperature resistance
Adsorption
For this purpose, the CTHEN (Centre Technique Homologations des Equipements Nuclaires Technical Center for Nuclear Equipment Accreditation) had the authority over
accreditation of the equipment. CAMFIL FARR developed products able to meet these
requirements.
Casings and filters

Moreover, CAMFIL FARR carried out a series of tests with IRSN on a filtration barrier
(casing + filter), based on the CTHEN specifications. During this programme, other dynamic tests (combination of pressure temperature) at values higher than those imposed
by the CTHEN specifications were also carried out. That way, verifications of the overall
tightness (internal/external) of casings are made.
Now, only these tests allow CAMFIL FARR to guarantee the temperature resistance of
a complete filtration barrier (filter + casing).
Seismic resistance
The tests are made on a vibrating table, and the seismic resistance calculations for our
equipment allow CAMFIL FARR to define the different components of the filtration barrier
items.
In case of seismic, the wave induced is transmitted to the floor or the walls of buildings.
These are transmitted to the casing via different anchor points.
Equipment for
The shock waves that the filtering item (filter) is subject to are different to those of the
floor. Actually, they result from the intrinsic characteristics of the casing, i.e. its geometry,
its mass, its materials, etc. The same goes for the shock waves that the damper is subject to.
In fact, shock waves to the filter or the damper are the results of the concatenation of
seismic spectres and the intrinsic characteristics of the casing.
That is why validating the seismic resistance of a filtration barrier or a damper can only
be made taking into account the filter + casing combination.
The technical data for each of the items making up this filtering barrier are vital for the
calculations allowing us to validate the seismic resistance.
For over 40 years, CAMFIL FARR has capitalised on all this technical data (real tests and
calculations) in order to meet your requirements.
Accessories
Considering the importance of filtration barriers, the French authorities wanted to categorise filters equipping certain filtration levels as Important Security Items (decree dated
10 August 1984).

GENERAL POINTS
This guide also mentions, for installations,

that the decontamination factor measured
on receipt and during operating has to be
higher than the value set by the technical
specifications and in no case lower than
1000 with the sodium fluorescein test
(NF M 62-303 standard).
Uranine test: fluorimetric method the
measuring of which consists in sampling
the uranine aerosol upstream and
downstream of the test filter, using two
sampling filters, to extract the uranine
from these filters by washing and to
titrate the washing solutions by measuring
their fluorescence. The penetration of the
filter is the ratio of the titers of the two
solutions.
SOFILAIR CTHEN have been developed

to meet specifications (including, in
particular, dynamic thermal resistance
tests) established by the Technical Centre
for the Accreditation of Nuclear Equipment
(CTHEN). The Camfil FARR Air filters
SOFILAIR CTHEN were the first ones
to be accredited at 200C/2h by CTHEN.
Our VHE filters are subject to complete

requalification in the CAMFIL laboratory.
This requalification includes all the CEA or
IRSN tests, humidity resistance and a test
for the radiation resistance of the sealants,
gaskets and media. This regular requalification allows us to guarantee the integrity
of our filters in extreme conditions.
PTFE VHE POLY V-PACK FILTERS
INTERNAL REQUALIFICATION
AMERICAN SPECIFICATIONS listed in

the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Regulatory Guide 1.52 stipulate that VHE
filters HEPA Filters should comply
with American standards ASME AG-1
(formerly military standard MIL- F 51.079
for filter paper) and MIL -F-51.068 for the
filter itself. The latter, which is related to
the American design with deep pleats,
imposes minimum DOP efficiency of
99.97% with 0.3 micron particles.
Moreover, it mentions the criteria for nonflammability, humidity and temperature
resistance that the filters have to meet.
For nuclear applications, the Regulatory
Guide 1.52 imposes metal frames.
The Camfil FARR VHE exceeds the
requirements of the French and American
standards.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
RELATING TO VHE FILTERS
The VHE filters must have successfully

(IRSN). They should to be the subject of
Performance Guarantee sheets based on
the results of these tests which cover the
efficiency, the pressure drop and mechanical, thermal resistance, etc.
The applications of VHE filters can be

classified in two very different categories
depending on the required aim. These are:
obtaining an atmosphere with a very
low numerical concentration in particles
or in micro-organisms for the manufacture of very delicate products;
arresting contaminants that are dangerous for people, this is the case with the

The SOFILAIR CTHEN* range has been

developed to meet the highest requirements of the safety authorities under fire
emergency conditions. The filters that
equip the final level of filtration before
emission into the atmosphere being registered as Important Safety Items (decree
dated 10 August 1984), their good behaviour in an emergency situation is vital.

Camfil Farr, by constantly listening to its

clients and by basing itself on its unequalled experience in nuclear filtration, has
developed new products able to meet the
requirements of the specifications established by CTHEN.
* CTHEN = Technical Center for the Nuclear Equipment
Accreditation.
CTHEN REINFORCED REQUIREMENTS
In relation to former requirements, the

CTHEN specification brings users an
unarguable plus. The filter is dynamically
tested and its aptitude to ensure that it
is working is continuously controlled and,
above all, in emergency conditions.
Actually, the filters are clogged (2000
Pa) during tests and undergo temperature
cycles with large differences of between
70 and 300C.

A DEVELOPMENT FOR
VERY HIGH EFFICIENCY
The materials of the filters of the CTHEN
range are highly stressed (major variations in temperature, high pressure, immersion, fire classification, etc.).
The reliability of information is your
concern: CTHEN provides its expertise and
its authority for this, and Camfil Farr provides its experience and widely validated
results.
A COMMITMENT TO SECURITY
The CTHEN accredited SOFILAIR range
helps you in your quality approach.
As these filters are the final barrier before
emission into the atmosphere, the commitments of the supplier are important.
Camfil Farr also commits itself to the lifetime of its products:
7 years from the date of manufacture
5 years in service under normal operating conditions.
SPECIFICATIONS ESTABLISHED

Introduction

CONTENTS
Activated carbons are generally prepared

from carbon coming from coconut or
coal. The thermal or chemical activation
treatments that they are subject to give
them an extraordinarily high surface area
of about 1000 to 2500 m/g. They come
into the form of extruded granules or in
the form of sieved grains. The pores of the
activated carbon have diameters on the
nanometre scale, that is to say the same
level as the size of molecules.
Activated carbon traps molecules on the
inside surface of its pores, under the
effect of molecular attraction forces or
Van der Waals forces. These attraction
forces are all the more important as the
molecules have high boiling points and
molar mass. If these forces are very low,
it is necessary to use impregnated activated carbon that allows gaseous pollutants
to be trapped by chemical reaction with
the impregnating agent.
ADSORPTION EFFICIENCY AND

LIFETIME OF ACTIVATED CARBON
The efficiency of activated carbon
decreases over time. This is explained
by a reduction in available adsorption
sites or by a drop in the quantity of
impregnating agent.
The efficiency of the adsorption of gas or
the vapours diffused in the air depends on
several factors, and in particular:
On the type of pollutants.
On the concentrations of pollutants: the
higher the concentration of them, the
lower the efficiency or the lifetime
On the quality of the activated carbon.
On the granulometry of the activated
carbon: the smaller the size of the
granules or grains, the higher the
efficiency or the lifetime. Nevertheless,
the granulometry has to be limited in
practice by pressure drop criteria.
On the contact time t between the gas

and the adsorbent: t = V/Q
(Volume of adsorbent/airflow).
The longer the contact time, the
better the efficiency or the lifetime of
the adsorbent.
On the thickness of the adsorbent: the
thicker the activated carbon bed, the
higher the efficiency or the lifetime.
Nevertheless, this thickness has to
be limited in practice by pressure
drop criteria.
On relative humidity: this parameter can
positively or negatively influence the
efficiency or the lifetime of the activated
carbon, depending on the physical and
chemical mechanisms of the trapping of
the pollutant by the adsorbent.
On the temperature: the influence of this
parameter can be more or less significant for the efficiency or the lifetime of
the activated carbon, depending on the
physical and chemical mechanisms of
trapping the pollutant by the adsorbent.

REINFORCED BARRELS
In the event of an accident in a nuclear

reactor, the environment and the people
nearby are likely to be contaminated by
released radioiodine. In order to limit
the activity of the iodine emitted into
the atmosphere as much as possible,
ventilation systems for these premises
are equipped with iodine adsorbers, such
as ACTICARB or SOFILTRAD, installed
on extraction circuits downstream of the
adsorbent filters.
TRAPPING MECHANISMS
These radioiodines are in the form of elementary iodine and organic compounds,
methyl iodine in particular. Many scientific
studies show that if elementary iodine can
easily be trapped on ordinary activated
carbon, trapping methyl iodine requires
specific activated carbons generally
impregnated with potassium iodide (KI)
and/or triethylenediamine (TEDA). These
impregnations allow reactions of the
following types of trapping to be made:
Isotopic exchange reaction
K
127
I + CH3
131
IK
131
Iads + CH3
127
Nucleophile substitution reaction
This reaction leads to the formation of a

quaternary diammonium salt, a non-volatile compound with a high boiling point.
OPTIMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS

Contact time
The recommendations of the Guide for
the Ventilation of Nuclear Installations
(Atomic Energy Commission) set a
minimum contact time of 0.25 seconds.
Relative humidity
Relative humidity has a very important
influence on efficiency, especially with
methyl iodine.
This is why an activated carbon with a
decontamination factor ration ratio (DF)
of 50 at 90% of relative humidity (RH),
will have a DF over 10,000 at 40% RH
for the same contact time of 0.2 seconds.
Each batch of adsorbent has its own
efficiency variation curve depending on
relative humidity. The efficiency extrapolations from one relative humidity to another
cannot be made from this experimental
curve and only give approximate values.
(Example of a curve for a particular batch
of carbon - see below).
ACTICARB 4000
Depending on the operating conditions,

both normal and emergency ones, the
relative humidity of the air extracted from
the various premises of a plant can reach
high values. That is why now in France,
most air extraction circuits with iodine
traps, have air heaters designed in such
a way that the relative humidity does not
exceed 40%. Consequently, iodine traps
operate in the best possible conditions
and have optimal efficiency considering
the adopted sizing criteria.

Temperature
Activated carbons can only be validly used
at temperatures that do not exceed 80C,
although their flash point is still higher
than 250C. For higher operating temperatures, it is necessary to use molecular
sieves or zeolites impregnated with silver.
ACTIVATED CARBON EFFICIENCY
CONTROL
The activated carbon used by CAMFIL in
its iodine traps is subject to a systematic
efficiency control with methyl iodine
measured on a representative sample
from each batch of activated carbon. This
control is made by IRSN on its STEAM test
bed. The validation criterion for batches of
activated carbon is one DF > 80 to the
ICH3 at 90% of RH. Moreover, Camfil
guarantees each of its ACTICARB 4000
cells by systematically controlling them on
its leak detection test rig.

TRAPPING HYDROGEN FLUORIDE
Casings and filters

Hydrogen fluoride (HF) is a very toxic gas

mainly produced by hydrolysis reactions
of uraniferous compounds, in the uranium
enrichment industry sector. As well as the
high risk of chemical toxicity for people,
this gas has the property of being very
corrosive for many materials, in particular
those based on steel and silicon.
Thus, CAMFIL has had to specifically
adapt its range of products to provide
lasting filtration solutions for extraction
systems for gaseous effluents containing
hydrogen fluoride.
RESISTANCE OF MATERIALS TO THE

CORROSIVENESS OF HF
Equipment for
For applications in a corrosive environment containing HF, CAMFIL recommends

using:
Tight lock casings and buffers covered
with ECTFE (see page 74): this fluoride
polymer based coating has the property
of being chemically inert to HF and thus
stops the casing being corroded over
time.
VHE efficiency in PTFE media (see page
25): classic VHE media made of glass
fiber should not be used where HF is
present as it is very reactive with silicon,
which is the main constituent of glass
fiber.
Accessoires
32
MECHANISM FOR HFTRAPPING
To trap gaseous HF, CAMFIL recommends

using ACTICARB GA, a cell with activated
carbon impregnated with KOH (potassium
hydroxide) to trap acidic gases.
Contact time
Actually, as hydrogen fluoride is a very

volatile acidic gas with a low boiling point,
using classic activated carbons has no
effect. Therefore, it is necessary to use
activated carbon impregnated with a compound that chemically reacts with HF. As
this is an acidic gas, it is therefore necessary to use an alkaline impregnating agent
such as potassium hydroxide (KOH), that
will react with the HF according to the following acid-alkaline reaction:
H2O
HF(g) + KOH(s) = KF(s) + H2O(g)

The products of this reaction are potassium fluoride, an inert salt remaining on
the surface of the activated carbon, and
steam. This reaction can only take place
in the presence of water, which is needed
to release the ions so that the acid-alkaline
reaction can take place.
The contact time generally used for the

design of HF traps in uranium enrichment
factories varies between 0.29 and 0.5 s.
The longer the contact time is, the longer
the lifetime of the filters will be.
Relative humidity
As opposed to radioiodine trapping, the
effect of relative humidity is to promote
the efficiency of the HF trapping. Actually,
water promotes the acid-alkaline reaction. Thus, the higher the hygrometry, the
better the performance of the HF trap is.
Nevertheless, it is recommended not to
reach the water saturation point in order
to not condense the water droplets within
the activated carbon which would result
in solubilising the impregnating agent and
extracting it from the filter by airflow. Thus,
CAMFIL recommends using HF traps with
relative humidity between 30 and 90%.
Introduction
GENERAL POINTS
This is why an activated carbon with a

decontamination factor ration ratio (DF) of
50 at 90% of relative humidity (RH), will
have a DF over 10,000 at 40% RH for the
same contact time of 0.2 seconds.
These radioiodines are in the form of elementary iodine and organic compounds,
methyl iodine in particular. Many scientific
studies show that if elementary iodine can
easily be trapped on ordinary activated
carbon, trapping methyl iodine requires
specific activated carbons generally impregnated with potassium iodide (KI) and/or
triethylenediamine (TEDA). These impregnations allow reactions of the following
types of trapping to be made:

Relative humidity
Relative humidity has a very important
influence on efficiency, especially with
methyl iodine.
Each batch of adsorbent has its own efficiency variation curve depending on relative humidity. The efficiency extrapolations
from one relative humidity to another
cannot be made from this experimental
curve and only give approximate values.
(Example of a curve for a particular batch
of carbon - see below).
Temperature
Activated carbons can only be validly used
at temperatures that do not exceed 80C,
although their flash point is still higher
than 250C. For higher operating temperatures, it is necessary to use molecular
sieves or zeolites impregnated with silver.

An additional guarantee: the individual
controlling of the leak rate, with cyclohexane concentration measurements
upstream and downstream of the filter
on a filter test rig.

Despite a perfectly mastered manufacturing procedure, the decontamination factor of 4000 at ICH3 cannot be guaranteed
without controlling that it matches up to
this requirement: leak detection.
Test certificate
The test certificate provided with each
filter ensures you that all the parameters
have been controlled and that, in case of
efficiency defect on your installation, the
leak cannot come from the filter.

Introduction
Introduction
Casings and filters for containment systems
CONTENTS
Semi-open network
A network in which we ventilate the
enclosure by a gas or a gaseous mix that
we then emit outside after filtration and
possibly trapping toxic products.
Closed network
A network in which ventilation is made
by recycling a gas or a gaseous mixture
which is continuously filtered and purified.
The majority of CONTAINMENT enclosures are ventilated by an open circuit
by ambient air sweeping. As, in general,
it is necessary to protect personnel from
contamination, the enclosure is held in
depression of 100 to 500 Pa in relation
to the premises.
FILTRATION DEVICES ON
CONTAINMENT ENCLOSURES
The aim of admission and extraction
systems is to form a barrier against
contamination during normal operating
and if ventilation is stopped.
Admission filters
VHE admission filters avoid introducing
dust into the enclosure coming from the
aspirated air into the premises and slow
down the clogging of extraction filters.
They have to be designed for the normal
airflow of the enclosure and enclosure
depression equal to the pressure drop of
the new filter + a clogging reserve usually
of between 100 and 200 Pa.
Extraction filters
VHE extraction filters are intended to
stop contamination and generally toxic
products in a particular state.
PVC CASE VHE FILTERS

30 m/h et 50 m/h
It should be noted that pressure drops

given in technical sheets relating to
filters correspond to the filtering item
alone and it is necessary to add possible
singular pressure drops due to assembly:
casing, casing etc.
If radioiodines have been emitted into
the enclosure, an activated carbon filter
should be planned downstream of
the VHE filters.
CONTROLS DURING OPERATING
It is strongly recommended, from a
safety point of view, to carry out the
following controls:
depression of the enclosure in relation
to the premises,
airflow extracted using an airflow meter
installed on the extraction device or
by measuring the pressure drop in the
second stage of extraction filters, which
are never clogged,
clogging control of the first barrier filters
on admission and extraction.

The filtration of an enclosure, for example

a category 2 glove box in accordance
with AFNOR M 62.200 standard or ISO
10648-2 with a regulation system for
extraction, must normally be equipped
as shown opposite.
Open network
They have to be designed depending on

the airflow to be processed in normal
operating as well as the airflow to be
extracted in case of accident, pulling off
of a glove, for example. To determine the
manometric height needed for aspiration,
it is necessary to take into account a clogging reserve of about 250 Pa for the first
stage, as well as all the singular pressure
drops for the network.
To ensure correct sweeping and maintain

the desired depression, the renewal rate
is generally set at 10 volumes per hour.

on admission and extraction.
RENEWING CLOGGED FILTERS
As the previous controls are systematically

carried out , it is necessary to replace:
the admission filter when, with regulating valve (4) completely open, the
depression exceeds the set point, the
admission airflow having a lower value
than the nominal value;
the extraction filter when, regulating
valve (4) being completely open, the
depression in the enclosure is lower
than the set point, the extraction airflow
having a value lower than the nominal
value.
On enclosures fitted with two filters in series for extraction and for admission, only
the filter placed downstream is clogged.

TIGHT LOCK CASINGS

Principle:
These casings have the advantage of being
able to replace contaminated filters under
a plastic bag i.e. without any tightness
interruption. By this way, the process
provides total protection for the personnel
against risks of accidental contamination.
Description:
Each casing has as many cells as filters.
These are limited in the upper part by a
gasket seat and in the lower part by a
vertically mobile sliding resting on two
camshafts. The tightness between the
casing and the filter is made by a gasket
attached to the filter and compressed
under the effect of the two camshafts.
The position of the guide rail supporting
the filter can be height adjusted using a
mechanical device. The adjustment is
made in the factory.
Usually, air circulates from the top to
the bottom in the filtering cell, avoiding
contaminating the work area when
replacing the filter. Moreover, when removing the filtering cell, there is no risk of
dust dropping into the casing. Individual
casings can also be installed on edge,
the air then circulates horizontally in the
cells, but if possible preference is given to
the first position.
Changing the filters:

Described on page 75-77 Procedures.
Taking pressure reading in-situ
(as an option):
Networks of high airflow installation
tubes do not always allow for compliance
with the installation rules for injection
and sampling points for in-situ control
of VHE filters.
On request, multi-cell tight lock casings
can be fitted with 200 points allowing
these tests to be made, at a reduced airflow, casing by casing, using two specific
CAMFIL mobile units.
The units are connected to the casing by
tubes isolated from the network by two
dampers, made up of a uranine generator,
sampling devices, a flow-meter, a ventilator and a VHE safety filter.
PLATFORMS
Principle:
There are three types of platforms:
with canvas sleeves: this type of platform has the advantage of allowing, in
case of emergency contamination - a
case for nuclear reactors the filter to
be replaced in a plastic protection bag.
However, it is necessary to remove the
vinyl safe change bags when turning the
ventilation on;
with cradles;
with cams.
GAS ADSORBERS
(SOFILTRAD model)
These are adsorbers with fixed beds
and loading and unloading beds using
pneumatic means for radioiodines trapping and toxic gases. They are more and
more used for high airflows, from some
thousand m3/h.
TIGHT LOCK CASINGS

UNIT TYPE
TIGHT LOCK CASINGS

MULTICELLULAR TYPE
SOFILTRAD gas adsorbers can either be

incorporated into platform type equipment,
or used together with tight lock casings.
In the latter case, the adsorber has to be
fitted with two plenums (1 upstream and
1 downstream).
The advantages of these radioiodine adsorbers are as follows:
Space saving: volume needed lower
than that for carbon cells installed on
platforms or tight lock casings.
Easy and safe operating: no direct work
in the contaminated area.
Cost saving due to only replacing
activated carbon.
Reduction in quantity of waste.
The adsorbers are designed according to
the following parameters:
- Airflow to be processed;
- Admitted speed.
Thickness of adsorbent beds (function,
associated with the required speed
and efficiency).
Space available.
Geometry of the filtration equipment
planned upstream and downstream.
These last two platform types require

using a protective suit when replacing
the filters.

SOFILTRAD gas adsorbers can be filled
with various types of adsorbents. Generally, for air extraction on nuclear reactors,
we use activated carbon impregnated
with 1% potassium iodide as this type of
adsorbent currently has the best efficiency characteristics as opposed to methyl
iodide.
Due to their construction and their design
(large protective layer in the top part, etc.),
SOFILTRAD gas adsorbers have efficiency
levels that match the efficiencies of carbon
cells. They meet the French and American
specifications in force.

High Efficiency
In case of specific application, for example, during the conversion or enrichment of fuel for nuclear power plants, certain procedures
require equipment that can resist acidic gases.
These gases can be extremely corrosive on classic materials, and also dangerous for people and the environment.
Camfil Farr uses the support of its unarguable experience in nuclear boiler work to develop a material allowing these requirements to
be met.
After research, laboratory tests and the making of a prototype, Camfil Farr today offers an adapted surface treatment.
Adsorption
The implementation of such a coating is made by hot electrostatic application after specific thermal and mechanical treatments.
This surface treatment can be made on tight lock casing or isolation dampers made of mild steel or stainless steel.

GAS ADSORBERS (SOFILTRAD model)

ADVANTAGES
Medium Efficiency
Safe operating
Cost savings
Easy to operate
250 devices installed in 30 years
Type: Gas adsorber with remote pneumatic loading and unloading.

Adsorption
Thickness of activated carbon: From 50 to 200 mm.
Casings and filters

Specific characteristics:
Safe operating: The operator is not exposed to contamination
during loading and unloading operations.
Cost savings: only the used activated carbon has to be replaced and the intervention time is reduced to its minimum.
Easy to operate: the activated carbon is directly sucked into
the delivery drums by a mobile pneumatic transport unit that
ensures the continuous loading of the adsorber. When unloading, the mobile unit sucks the carbon that is recuperated
into the drums.
Dust removal from the activated carbon: when loading carbon the majority of the dust is removed by the dust removal
device incorporated into the pneumatic transport mobile unit,
the rest of the dust is eliminated by the mobile dust removal
unit when entering the adsorber.
Equipment for
Description:
SOFILTRAD gas adsorbers are entirely made of X2CrNi18-9
stainless steel. They are assembled by weld without gasket.
They are formed by a series of vertical beds in the shape of a
diamond, of a thickness that can vary from 50 to 200 mm,
outlined by finely perforated metal sheet.
This set of beds, which makes up the active part of the adsorber
is completed by:
at the top, a supply chamber with loading opening;
in the bottom part, a double slope hopper for servicing the
adsorbent and a vibrator to perfect the settling of the activated carbon after loading and facilitate removal at the end of
servicing.
SOFILTRAD gas adsorbers comply with CEA and EDF specifications.
They can be calculated to resist seismic depending on the particular data of each site.
Accessoires
82
Assembly:
SOFILTRAD gas adsorbers can be:
incorporated into equipment with inside access equipped
upstream of prefilters and VHE filters and downstream of VHE
filters that increase safety by arresting carbon dust likely to be
dragged along during operating;
associated downstream of a tight lock casing equipped with
prefilters and VHE filters or downstream of a tight lock casing
fitted with VHE filters.
