Tecnatom has developed a new product for real-time quality control of fresh nuclear fuel rods: TESCAN, the first unit of which has recently been delivered to Industrias Nucleares do Brasil and is now incorporated in the production process. The new system allows for the diagnosis of fuel rods in the production line in order to … Read more
Tecnatom has delivered a new simulator of the Anllares thermal power plant, operated by Gas Natural Fenosa and Endesa in the municipality of Paramos del Sil, in El Bierzo in León. This project has consisted of completely updating the hardware platform of the original simulator, which was developed in 2001 and which was currently affected … Read more
Check valves act as safety devices, allowing flow to pass in one direction but preventing it in the reverse direction. These valves are actuated by the flow through them. Their basic functions are isolation of the containment at nuclear power plants, the separation of systems operating at different pressures and the protection of turbine or … Read more
Part of the scope committed to with the British company GEN2, within the framework of a project for the supply of a generic PWR plant simulator, is the 3D modelling of the equipment most commonly found at nuclear facilities. The objective is to provide newcomers to the areas of maintenance, operation and engineering with a … Read more
TECNATOM and FADA-CATEC have inaugurated a line of technological collaboration aimed at improving mechanical inspection systems, replacing them with wireless positioning equipment. The most recent example of this collaboration is the WiiPa project, which completely replaces interaction with any mechanical equipment for different manual UT or ET inspections with highly competitive accuracies and positive characteristics … Read more
Tecnatom has incorporated the new SIROCO-LITE control system into its portfolio of products. This is a centralised, high performance and reduced cost and size control system that, like other Tecnatom controllers, is integrated under the SirocoMULTI architecture.SIROCO-LITE provides efficient and optimised technical and economic solutions for applications demanding the control of up to four axes. … Read more
This past 27 February, Tecnatom formalized the purchase of 100% shares owned by IBERCAL Inspectors and Consultants. Therefore, it has become a subsidiary property belonging to Tecnatom Group. IBERCAL, located in the Basque Country for more than a decade, is principally dedicated to the provision of Non Destructive Testing Services focused on the industrial sector, … Read more
February 23rd-26th in Charlotte, EEUU. Tecnatom participates with several conferences conferences during the event. www.npic-hmit2015.org
Product description Laser scanning technology allows highly accurate three-dimensional models of industrial facility structures and components to be obtained. These “as built†models represent the actual status of the facility at the moment of study, for which reason they are particularly useful for task planning, personnel training and the simulation of manoeuvres, especially in areas … Read more
El proyecto ITER es uno de los proyectos de inversión más grandes del mundo, en el que colaboran más de 35 países con el objetivo de demostrar la viabilidad de la fusión nuclear como fuente de energía inagotable. Para ello se está construyendo uno de los dispositivos de fusión por confinamiento magnético más grandes del mundo, en el que se probarán tecnologías, materiales y regímenes físicos integrados necesarios para la producción de electricidad basada en la fusión.
Tecnatom forma parte del proyecto aportando la creación de la plataforma de simulación de lo que será el simulador de la sala de control de ITER, la integración de modelos existentes desarrollados por distintos suministradores, la integración del sistema de control CODAC, el desarrollo de modelos adicionales, así como el mantenimiento y la formación en la plataforma.
