Frequently Asked Questions

Expert answers to common questions about iodine air filtration systems

What is the difference between an iodine filter and a HEPA filter?

HEPA filters capture particulate matter (dust, bacteria, viruses) through mechanical filtration. Iodine filters (specifically iodine adsorption systems) use activated carbon impregnated with chemicals like TEDA (triethylenediamine) to chemically bond and remove radioactive iodine gases (I-131, I-129) from air streams.

While HEPA filters are essential for particulate removal, they are ineffective against radioactive iodine gases. Iodine filters are critical in nuclear facilities, hospitals handling radioiodine therapy, and research laboratories working with radioisotopes.

What is ASME AG-1 certification and why is it important for nuclear applications?

ASME AG-1 is the American Society of Mechanical Engineers' Code on Nuclear Air and Gas Treatment. It sets rigorous standards for the design, materials, fabrication, inspection, testing, and quality assurance of air and gas treatment equipment used in nuclear safety-related applications.

AG-1 certification is required for safety-related applications in nuclear power plants and demonstrates the highest level of engineering quality, material traceability, and nuclear safety compliance. Our systems are designed and manufactured to meet or exceed all AG-1 requirements.

How often do iodine filters need to be replaced in a nuclear facility?

Replacement frequency depends on several factors: iodine concentration in the air stream, total airflow volume, relative humidity, carbon type (TEDA impregnated vs. plain activated carbon), and system design.

In typical nuclear power plant applications, carbon adsorption beds last 3-5 years before requiring replacement. Our systems include real-time monitoring with differential pressure gauges across each bed to indicate when replacement is needed. We offer consumable supply programs with scheduled deliveries for predictable maintenance planning.

What industries typically use iodine air filtration systems?

Primary users of iodine air filtration systems include:

  1. Nuclear Power Plants: For containment ventilation, auxiliary building exhaust, and radwaste processing areas
  2. Hospitals & Medical Facilities: Nuclear medicine departments, I-131 therapy rooms, PET/CT suites, radiopharmacies
  3. Research Facilities: National laboratories, university research reactors, radiochemistry labs
  4. Pharmaceutical Companies: Production facilities for radiopharmaceuticals
  5. Government Facilities: Nuclear research, weapons complexes, emergency response
  6. Industrial Facilities: Radioisotope production, industrial radiography
What efficiency can I expect for I-131 removal from your systems?

Our custom iodine filtration systems achieve ≥99.9% removal efficiency for I-131 and I-129 when properly specified, installed, and maintained. This efficiency is validated through:

  • ASTM D3803 testing methodology
  • Third-party laboratory verification
  • Field performance monitoring
  • Regular efficiency testing

Efficiency can be affected by operating conditions (temperature, humidity, airflow), carbon type, and maintenance practices. Our systems include monitoring to ensure continuous optimal performance and meet or exceed NRC regulatory requirements for nuclear facilities.
