Porvair Supplies Filtration System for China”s 4G Nuclear Reactor

Porvair Filtration Group is supplying a prestigious academic institution in Beijing, China, with a self cleaning high pressure Helium filtration system for use in the fuel handling system in their ground breaking, developmental high temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor.

At present, the vast majority of nuclear power plants operating globally still uses second generation or improved second generation technology. The development of a 50-100 mWE output  Pebble Bed Modular (PBMR) high temperature gas-cooled reactor plant in China offers significant benefits over previous generation systems in terms of operational safety and increased efficiency of thermoelectric conversion. The High Temperature Gas Reactor (HTGR) is a fourth generation development that uses a graphite-moderated nuclear reactor with a once-through uranium fuel cycle. The high operational temperature (1000 °C) of the new 4G nuclear reactor also enables economic implementation of applications such as process heat or hydrogen production via the thermochemical sulfur-iodine cycle.
