Chemical Process Control Systems
NUCON is a value added reseller for the FIX-DMACS® process
control software. Along with a variety of types of PLC's, it has been installed on all the
Brayton cycle-based solvent recovery systems that have been supplied to industrial
clients. This software enables the operator to change process variables and alarm set
points, view and store operating data, and observe all the operating variables and
settings on a process flow screen. NUCON personnel can communicate with the control system
from the headquarters location in order to observe operations, troubleshoot and aid client
personnel in optimizing the operation. NUCON provides full in-house Validation of control
software when required.
Instrumentation Panels, D.C. Cook Nuclear Power
Plant
Updated instruments were being installed for monitoring and control of
the primary loop water quality at the D.C. Cook nuclear power plant. NUCON was awarded the
contract to design, fabricate and startup the panels because of the broad experience in
designing instrument panels and sample conditioning systems for industrial solvent
recovery equipment. The Quality Assurance program qualified to 10CFR50 Appendix B
requirements had resulted in NUCON being on the qualified suppliers list.
Halide Detection Instruments & Generators
Under contract to the Department of Defense, NUCON developed an
instrument capable of detecting halide test gases at very low concentrations. The first
use of the instrument was the testing of CBR filters to predict the adsorbent life and to
insure that there were no leaks in the filter assembly. Later, the instrument was used to
leak test the activated carbon filters in nuclear power plants that were used to control
radioiodine. Today, this NUCON instrument is used worldwide for leak testing high
efficiency adsorber banks. The range of sensitivity of the instruments is 1 part per
billion to 50 parts per million, nearly five orders of magnitude. These instruments have
been fully proven for field use and commercial air transportation.
Aerosol Detectors & Generators
While there are many versions of aerosol detectors, NUCON field test
personnel found that they were not rugged enough to be reliable after transportation to a
field site. An instrument development project produced a rugged, reliable and accurate
instrument which NUCON manufactures. They are used to leak test HEPA filters used in the
nuclear, biological and electronic industries. These instruments have been fully proven
for field use and commercial air transportation.
