Summary: | A method and apparatus for improved separation and containment of radioactive particulates from liquids by filtration. The improvements are achieved by utilizing more than one stage of filtration to remove radioactive particulates from a fluid. The first stage of filtration is designed for high liquid flowrate, low differential pressure across the filter medium, and reversibility of flow through the medium to facilitate backwashing. The second or more stages of filtration receive the backwash flow and captured particulates from the first stage at a lower flowrate, but at high pressure using a high-pressure pump configured between the stages. |
