当老化的比色表工艺监测系统被带有Avantes光谱仪的尖端光谱系统取代时,它为Savannah河站点(SRS)的HB线化学处理设施(SRS)提供了有希望的好处,这是剩余plutonium处置任务的组成部分。
Commercially available spectrometers are used in the latest system that has been developed in partnership with Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management. When compared to the old system, the new system has been shown to be easier to calibrate, repair and troubleshoot. In addition, efficiency and safety for SRS employees and the environment are also improved.
萨凡纳河综合体
The Savannah River site, commissioned in 1951, in the early years of the Cold War, was originally built to generate nuclear material, mainly Plutonium-239, for use in weapons programs. The Savannah River Complex includes a number of reactors and support facilities including waste management facilities and chemical separation plants.
HB线设备位于H Canyon的头部。它是用于恢复核材料和生成材料的硬化核化学分离工厂,以助长该国深空勘探计划。
HB Line Process Monitoring
传统上,HP系列使用色素来鉴定溶液中的plut浓浓度。溶液的颜色越深,通常含量较高。除了需要停机时间进行故障排除和维修外,这些仪器还需要每年的场外校准。比色表仪器还缺乏所需的准确性,迫使团队保持浓度较低,因此这些仪器保持在安全边际内。
下一代分光光度计
期限下一代分光光度计(NGS) was referred to the new process control system. The NGS system is housed in a rack mount cabinet in the HB Line operations control room and actually consisted of multiple paired dual-channel spectrometers, approximately 10 pairs in total. More accurate measurements are possible, since the spectrophotometer system is capable of identifying a large variety of colors.
机架安装设计是可扩展的,并且也更易于维护,从而使系统可以扩展,而无需任何软件或硬件修改。员工可以在不拆除系统的情况下快速校准系统,从而最大程度地减少停机时间,并且可以在用户友好的界面的帮助下警告操作员警报条件。由于测量的准确性提高,p lut浓浓度可以平均更接近限制,而不必担心由于测量不准确而超越它们。
前沿光谱仪
萨凡纳河HB线的NGS的双通道光谱仪对基于Avantes Avaspec-uls3648。该仪器提供了涵盖200-1100 nm的特殊紫外线响应,并且每个MS集成时间敏感至160,000次计数/µW。在萨凡纳河站点的这一部分,维持时间和准确性的改进确实是显着的,此外,该系统可以在能源部其他地区实施。
