Encapsulation Technologies -- Eliminating Airborne Contamination

What We Do
What is Passive Aerosol Generation?
Encapsulation Technologies, LLC, has developed a patented process to eliminate airborne radioactivity and fix contamination in place remotely without the need for people or equipment to enter the process area. The Passive Aerosol Generator (PAG) creates an aerosol by submerging parabolic shaped ultrasonic transducers in a solution of capture coating. Capture coatings are formulated for various applications, from tacky surfaces, glycerin based coatings that allow the application of a strippable coating, to hard acetate surfaces. The transducers focus up to 300 watts of energy creating an aerosol that has the same properties as the liquid. The droplet size of the aerosol is controlled by changing the frequency of the transducers. The aerosol or "fog" is gently introduced into the process area were it condenses on surfaces, capturing the contaminants in place. See diagram.

Major Advantages of Passive Aerosol Generation

·         No human entry into the affected areas is required for coating applications

·         Essentially eliminates human-support-generated radioactive wastes

·         Passive application will not change geometry or concentrate contaminants being coated

·         Gas like properties allow the process to be applied to inaccessible areas such as piping internals or ventilation ducting

·         Conforms to the spirit of the DOE Radiation Controls Manual by using engineering controls instead of respiratory protection devices
