L U V S When
Save Time, Reduce Exposure with WSM's Lightweight Underwater Vacuum System "The perfect retrieval and cleaning system" you need to retrieve foreign
objects from a liquid filled tank quickly and safely, you need LUVS. The Lightweight Underwater Vacuum System's powerful compact design puts the power of a crane-deployed 250 gallon per minute vacuum system in an easily deployed handheld system. The LUVS package provides flexibility not found in other systems. Operating on 230V single phase, the system can be used anywhere there is a ground fault interrupter. Its custom Induction Nozzles can be configured and sized to meet nearly every need and, when robotics are added, can be remotely deployed cumbersome hoses restricting movement-saving time and exposure in dealing with hazardous environments.
In addition to foreign object removal, LUVS can also be used for underwater vacuum decontamination, in-tank water filtration and tank mixing Developed and proven at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating station, the LUVS package has replaced more expensive remote grippers and swimming robots for recovering small objects. It has proven itself in real-life applications recovering objects from the reactor pools. The LUVS equipment features a sixspeed reversible pump and retrieved objects are transferred from the Induction Nozzle filter to an inspection container by gently running the pump in reverse. Hazardous Materials can be transported and recovered underwater keeping operator exposure to a minimum. It is the ultimate ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable tool.
