Nuclear Water Treatment & Process Water Systems
Controlled Engineering for Nuclear Supply Chain Applications
Nuclear projects require more than technically correct equipment.
Engineering decisions, materials, procurement, manufacture, inspection, documentation and configuration all need appropriate control.
Hydra-Clear designs and manufactures water treatment and packaged process systems for demanding industrial and nuclear supply chain applications.
Our approach is based on controlled engineering, clear documentation and traceable project delivery.
Water Treatment Applications
Potential nuclear and associated energy applications include:
- Demineralised water
- Reverse osmosis
- Ion exchange
- Process filtration
- Boiler and steam make-up
- Cooling water
- Equipment wash water
- Chemical dosing
- Effluent treatment
- Water recovery
- Packaged process skids
Every application begins with a defined technical requirement.
Process Engineering
Water chemistry determines the treatment philosophy.
Hydra-Clear can assess:
- Conductivity
- Hardness
- Silica
- Chloride
- Sulphate
- Metals
- Suspended solids
- pH
- Organic loading
- Required product water quality
The selected treatment process is documented through appropriate engineering deliverables.
Controlled Design
Depending on project requirements, documentation can include:
- Statement of Requirements
- Design specifications
- PFDs
- P&IDs
- General Arrangements
- Calculations
- Equipment datasheets
- Material specifications
- Instrument schedules
- Valve schedules
- Control philosophy
- Inspection and test plans
- FAT procedures
- Commissioning records
- Operating manuals
Revision control and customer design review can be incorporated throughout the project.
Manufacture & Inspection
Systems are manufactured in the UK with inspection and testing appropriate to the defined project requirements.
Project controls can include:
- Material identification
- Component traceability
- Approved drawings
- Inspection records
- Pressure testing
- Functional testing
- Calibration records
- Customer witness points
- FAT
- Document handover
Requirements are agreed contractually rather than assumed.
Quality & Supply Chain
Nuclear supply chains place substantial importance on management systems, quality assurance, traceability and control of purchased equipment.
Hydra-Clear's role is to provide clear evidence that the supplied system conforms to the agreed technical and quality requirements.
Where project specific controls exceed our standard arrangements, these are established during project review before manufacture begins.
Automation & Controls
Systems can incorporate Siemens PLC and HMI control, including:
- Process sequencing
- Alarm management
- Instrument monitoring
- VSD pump control
- Data logging
- Interlocks
- Duty/standby changeover
- BMS/SCADA integration
Maintainability
Critical equipment needs to remain maintainable throughout its operating life.
Design considers:
- Access
- Isolation
- Component replacement
- Filter changes
- Membrane removal
- Resin replacement
- Instrument calibration
- Drainage
- Lifting and maintenance requirements
Talk to Hydra-Clear
For nuclear supply chain enquiries, provide the technical specification, quality requirements and water analysis at the earliest stage possible.
That allows the engineering and assurance requirements to be developed together.
In critical engineering, documentation is not separate from the product. It is part of the product.
