The Process CCTV System in the disposal facility was engineered, fabricated and programmed by AES Systems. The environment is so dangerous that the chemical neutralization processes must be performed remotely, through the eyes of the video system. The system provides plant operators with the ability to control processes and view operations remotely, from safely located work stations. Working with, and supporting, Bechtel National, AES Systems has provided durable solutions to problems unique to this site.

System

The process monitoring video system consists of remotely located control stations, networked together with matrix switching equipment over fiber optic cable. The majority of the cameras used in the facility were custom engineered to fit the demanding environment.

AES Solutions

• Steam and High Temperature – The high temperature washing and neutralizations process of the facility presented plant designers with the unique situation where steam would form and inhibit video monitoring. AES Systems engineered camera systems which utilized a regulated flow of air to keep the lens clear and fog free.

• Robot Mounted Camera – AES Systems developed a camera for one of the facilities existing robotic arms. The camera provides the robot operator with a close up view of the actual work which the robot performs, making the work of the operator more precise, as well as less time consuming.

• Portable Inspection Camera System – AES Systems engineered a portable video system allowing suited technicians to connect a camera to several ports throughout the contaminated area and send live video feedback to the operators in the control room. These cameras are used during repair operations, allowing the suited technicians a flexible way to inspect machinery and complete repairs, and provide the operators with necessary monitoring capability.
