The wastewater sampling tank is designed for controlled collection and monitoring of radioactive liquid effluents from medical facilities (Radiology, Radiation Oncology, Nuclear Medicine). The system integrates automatic sampling, in-pool radiation and aerosol monitoring, leak detection, automatic sludge handling and redundant accessories to ensure continuous safe operation and regulatory compliance.
Six major advantages
Water leakage detection with alarm system for early event notification.
Fully automatic sludge cleaning for decay and sedimentation pools to minimise maintenance interventions.
In-pool radiation monitoring and aerosol monitoring to assess radioactive contamination levels in real time.
Automatic sampling and in-line detection of radioactive dose in water for reliable analysis and record-keeping.
Automatic sewage leakage discharge system to manage accidental releases promptly.
Redundancy of critical accessories (primary and standby) to maintain long-term system availability.
Waste liquid pipeline plan
Pipeline protection: Provide lead sheathing where necessary between departments and the decay/sedimentation pools to limit radiation exposure.
Pipeline materials: Recommend 304 stainless steel piping or UPVC where compatible with radiological and chemical constraints.
Pipeline design: Select appropriate diameters, optimise routing and lengths, and avoid passages through public areas to reduce risk and simplify maintenance.
Pool body protection scheme
Pool construction: Options include cast-in-place concrete pools or integrated 304 stainless steel pool bodies depending on site requirements and decontamination needs.
Overflow emergency measures: Equip with overflow pipelines and buffer/holding basins for safe handling of accidental overflows.
Sedimentation function: Design sedimentation tanks for precipitation and degradation of solids to prevent pipeline blockage and facilitate sludge removal.
Application fields
Radiology: Supports safe handling of effluents from diagnostic imaging procedures using X-rays and gamma sources.
Radiation Oncology: Manages effluents from therapeutic units and accelerators producing ionising radiation and particle beams.
Nuclear Medicine: Integrates with departments using radiopharmaceuticals for diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
