Custom Designed Tritium System

Application

Tritium processes are exceptional in their variety, frequently applying a combination of cryogenics to relatively high temperatures and vacuum to high pressure. Tritium systems design involves some unique measurement problems, ultra low leakage, critical containment and some difficult tritium storage problems. Frequently the tritium systems required are one of a kind with no other similar systems to which they can be compared. Tritium equipment is often complex and expensive, yet clients always have scheduling and other project management constraints.

Features

  • Tyne has been carrying out tritium systems design and other tritium handling contracts for more than 20 years

  • We have a fully audited and current ISO 9001 2000 QA program to complement our tritium expertise.

  • Our Company was initially created for the nuclear industry and so is fully acquainted with the documentation needs of a nuclear power plant, and yet as a production facility we are also very aware of the minimum documentation required for proper control.

  • Many of Tyne’s contracts involve Research and Devepment and we know the challenges and particularly the costs and scheduling risks involved, and can take action to keep these to a minimum.

  • Tyne has ASME approved welders and NDE personnel; we follow a strict QA regime, and we know what is needed to design and build high quality tritium equipment.

  • Tyne has ASME approval (through TSSA) to design and build vessels and piping/tubing systems used in our tritium system design.

Description

Tyne's strength is not solely its ability to design tritium systems nor solely its ability to build tritium systems. Its strength is in its ability to both design and build tritium handling systems. For complex tritium systems it is this combination of skills which makes Tyne a better more practical designer, and a cautious and understanding builder that is aware of the consequences of what it is manufacturing and how tritium systems are intended to operate.

Tyne has Project management skills enabling it to fully understand contracts, to be clear about their direction, to design and plan where the project is going before the many steps are initiated, and to know what manpower and skills commitments it is undertaking to avoid pitfalls. It understands the approvals process involving exchange of information, and creation of sound working arrangements with its Clients to share advice and experience throughout the job to secure the best ultimate solutions. We know how to structure our organization to provide clear authority and line of command.

Tyne has been involved in design studies, and conceptual and detailed designs, supplying all drawings and documentation in formal recognized formats; it has been involved in supplier selection (it has its own approved suppliers list) and carries out procurement, expediting, and auditing. It has its own receiving inspection and controlled storage. Tyne also has its own well proven methods of material control with traceability to heat numbers and CRN numbers if required. It is very familiar with the creation of history dockets where required.

Tyne Engineering performs tritium systems design, manufactures tritium instruments, tritium systems, glove boxes, tritium handling vessels and tritium equipment. We do research and development, testing, commissioning, and site installation. We can undertake a wide work scope including the provision of a laboratory infrastructure.
