High Pressure Heat Treatment Hot isostatic pressing (HIP) Material densificationQuintus HIP to Play Important Role in New Australian Nuclear Waste Plant
Västerås, SWEDEN (December 11, 2017) — The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization (ANSTO) is acquiring a Hot Isostatic Press (HIP) from Quintus Technologies as part of the line-up of high tech equipment for its soon-to-be-built SyMo waste treatment facility at its Lucas Heights campus outside Sydney, New South Wales. The Synroc waste treatment plant has been initiated by ANSTO to treat liquid waste from radiopharmaceutical production. The model QIH80 Quintus HIP will play a critical role in the SyMo plant, integrating with ANSTO's new technology to reduce the volume of nuclear waste.
