EDF R&D

EDF R&D chose to characterize NEOSENS on-line and continuous fouling measurement systems to determine the interest in using these sensors for fouling monitoring in tertiary water cooling systems of nuclear power plants.

  Success Story EDF R&D

The objective of EDF R&D is to determine if NEOSENS sensors can constitute an indicator to monitor the efficiency of a biocide treatment on fouling at various locations in a tertiary water cooling system.

EDF used a semi-industrial pilot site with makeup water coming from a river to emulate a tertiary water cooling system of a nuclear power plant. Within this environment, NEOSENS sensors are capable of supplying on-line, continuously and real-time fouling signal at a given location of the cooling system.

These studies confirm that NEOSENS stand-alone sensors are responsive, rugged and easy to use.
