Treatment of Gaseous waste(High Efficiency Particulate Air Filter)

Gaseous waste is discharged after monitoring the removal of radioactive particulates with a HEPA filter.

What is a HEPA filter?

HEPA Filter (High Efficiency Particulate Air Filter)

Generally, a HEPA Filter collects 0.3 μm particles at an efficiency of 99.97% or more at the rated air volume.
The filter material consists of fine glass fibers that are formed into a large filtration area by folding, as shown in the picture.
HEPA filters collect particulates contained in exhaust gas.
