Filtration Applications by Reactor Diagram Point
Each numbered point on the BWR reactor diagram corresponds to a critical filtration system. The table below outlines the system name, its purpose, and our recommended filtration solutions.
| Diagram Point | System Name | Applications & purpose | Shop Product |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Residual Heat Removal (RHR) Systems | Protect ion exchange beds from fouling and abrasion; safeguard mechanical seals and bearings during shutdown | |
| 2 | Reactor Coolant Pump & Chemical Addition | Remove irradiated particulates and resin fragments; protect pump seals and demineralizer beds; reduce out-of-core radiation | |
| 3 | Turbine Lubrication & EHC Systems* | Maintain oil quality and cleanliness; remove water, acid, and varnish from turbine lube oil and phosphate ester fluids; protect bearings and hydraulic controls | |
| 4 | Condensate System | Remove suspended solids and corrosion products; protect steam generators; reduce chemical treatment and deep bed regeneration | |
| 5 | Waste Water Treatment | Filters radioactive waste streams; removes suspended solids and resin fines; supports safe discharge and regulatory complianc | |
| 6 | Spent Fuel Pool Filtration | Remove fine particulates and radioactive debris; maintain pool clarity and support safe fuel handling | |
| 7 | Radwaste | Remove suspended solids and separate oil from water in radioactive waste streams; support safe discharge and regulatory compliance | |
| 8 | Diesel Generator | Remove contaminants from lube and fuel oil; ensure reliable emergency power operation; reduce wear and extend engine life |
