Advanced Gas Analysis System for Urania Plant Aragon Procurement

A comprehensive plan to procure 50 tones of low radioactivity from an underground Aragon mine, extracting 250 Kg/day of UAr from CO2 wells with high purity. The system includes CO2 removal and N2 reduction, focusing on Ar, He, N2 production but monitoring minor contamination of O2, CO2, CH4, and hydrocarbons. The proposed plan features a Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry Platform with Cirrus 3XD model, offering high sensitivity and reliable detection of various gases.

  1. RGA Lab at Carleton University Rahaf Ajaj, PhD

  2. Target: Procuring 50 tones of low radioactivity Underground Aragon • Urania Plant • Extract 250 Kg/day of UAr from CO2 well , with 99.9 % purity • CO2 removal, N2 reduction • Primary output: Ar, He, N2 • Minor contamination: O2, CO2, CH4, hydrocarbons • Gasses of interest: Ar, O2, He, H2, CO,CO2, CH4, N2 Introduction

  3. Proposed Plan

  4. Proposed Sampling Points

  5. Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry Platform • Model: Cirrus 3XD. • High Sensitivity Atmospheric Systems • Mass Range: 1 to 100, 100HP, 200 or 300 amu options • Detection limit: Gas and Mass Independent - the minimum detectable concentration 3 sigma baseline noise is < 15ppb (specified with Argon or Nitrogen). RGA System MKS

  6. System Sensitivity • Cirrus 3XD is reliable, • Multiple gas stream inlet (4-,8- or 16-way) • Detection limits for N2, O2, H2O (and all other peaks) is in the 1 ppm level • Gas matrix indicates overlapping peaks • Detection both detect both CO2/CO individually • Gasses Pressure • 640B pressure controller • Gasses Temperature • easy to warm up the system What are our concerns ?

  7. Multi-Stream Valve Control

  8. The RGA system has been calibrated by: • Pure Argon Cylinder (Purity of 99.999%) • CO2 Cylinder (purity of 99.995%) • CH4 Cylinder (purity of 99.999%) • 1% eachof H2, He, N2, O2, balance Ar • 500 ppm H2O, balance Ar • 1% CO, balance Ar System Calibration

  9. Pure Argon Cylinder (Purity of 99.999%)

  10. 1% CO, balance Ar

  11. Where: Control Room – Urania Site • When: Expected by Summer-2019 • Dimension : 24 x 12 x 19 Inch (length x width x height) • Weight: Benchtop: 78 pound. Installation MKS
