February 2012:ENERCON Announces Receipt of Patent For Innovative Nuclear Reactor Filter System for Use in Emergency Core Cooling Systems

Patent ensures greater safety of operation

Kennesaw, Ga. -- (February 15, 2012) -- ENERCON, a multi-disciplined engineering, environmental and technical consulting energy company since 1983, has received patents (USPN 8048319 and USPN 8054932) for a filter medium for strainers used in nuclear reactor emergency core cooling systems (ECCS).

ENERCON President John Richardson said, "This product was developed in response to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s Generic Safety Issue, GSI-191, “Assessment of Debris Accumulation on PWR Sump Performance” in which following a Loss of Coolant Accident, during long term recirculation cooling of the reactor core, fibrous debris material could bypass through the ECCS sump strainer and potentially block cooling water flow paths in the reactor core. This product, called the “Debris Bypass Eliminator”, is a secondary filter system that works with the ECCS sump strainer to reduce or eliminate the fibrous debris material in the cooling water entering the reactor core. Currently, 11 nuclear power plants in the United States have the ENERCON Debris Bypass Eliminator installed in their ECCS sump strainers.”

Patent Inventor, Aaron Smith, Engineering Manager, said "The Debris Bypass Eliminator has specifically helped these 11 plants address one of the major safety issues in the US nuclear power industry. ENERCON is currently working with other nuclear plants in exploring how the Debris Bypass Eliminator may enhance the performance of their current ECCS sump strainers. We are also assessing the ability of this product to help other electric and industrial plants address cooling water issues associated with their facilities.”
