Notre Mission
At its 650-hectare Tricastin site, one of the largest in Europe, the Orano group wants to renew its facilities for treating uranium effluent from the site’s activities. The Ingerop teams, thanks to their expertise in nuclear processes, have researched and proposed several innovative equipment solutions:
- analysis of various evaporation technologies and their compatibility with uranium-containing effluents to select the industrial evaporator that will reduce the annual treatment volume by a factor of five,
- sizing, energy efficiency optimisation and safety assessment for filter press filtration technologies. The main challenge is automating the system and improving radiation protection for the operators.
