Revolutionizing Ultrasonic Testing with BWX Technologies' Bubblevac Automated Degasification System

Enhancing Ultrasonic Testing Efficiency

The Bubblevac™ Automated Degasification System from BWX Technologies is an innovative solution that transforms the ultrasonic testing (UT) process. By effectively eliminating dissolved gases in water couplant, this cutting-edge system significantly enhances scan quality, reduces the chances of re-scans caused by bubble formation, and minimizes downtime associated with water replacement by more than 98%. With the Bubblevac system, users can expect a seamless and efficient UT experience, achieving high-quality results without unnecessary delays.

Optimized Operational Performance

The Bubblevac system is designed to optimize operational performance in ultrasonic testing applications. For instance, a 500-gallon UT tank can be rapidly filled in less than an hour using the Bubblevac system, ensuring that the tank is ready for immediate use. In contrast, without this advanced degasification system, a typical UT tank may remain idle for up to three days as it waits for bubbles to disperse naturally. This streamlined process not only saves valuable time but also boosts overall productivity in ultrasonic testing operations.

Reliable and User-Friendly Design

Built with reliability in mind, the Bubblevac Automated Degasification System boasts a fully enclosed design that safeguards its internal components. The system features an industrial-grade touch screen user interface and PLC, offering user-friendly operation and monitoring. Additionally, the automatic purge cycle integrated into the system reduces the need for frequent maintenance, extending the unit's lifespan. These design elements ensure that users can depend on the Bubblevac system for consistent and efficient degasification performance.

Customizable and Specification-Driven

The Bubblevac system is versatile and can be customized to meet specific requirements and operational needs. With specifications such as temperature range, maximum pressure, flow rate, and water connections clearly outlined, users can easily tailor the system to suit their unique applications. From inlet water conditions to power requirements, every aspect of the Bubblevac system is meticulously designed to deliver optimal performance, enhancing the overall efficiency and effectiveness of ultrasonic testing processes.

Advanced Technology for Superior Results

Equipped with state-of-the-art features, the Bubblevac Automated Degasification System sets a new standard for degasification in ultrasonic testing. With precise control over inlet water conditions, filtered connections, and compressed air requirements, the system ensures a consistent and reliable performance. By harnessing advanced technology and innovative engineering, BWX Technologies has developed a solution that empowers users to achieve superior results in their ultrasonic testing applications, setting a benchmark for excellence in the industry.

Elevating Ultrasonic Testing with BWX Technologies

In conclusion, the Bubblevac Automated Degasification System by BWX Technologies represents a transformative advancement in ultrasonic testing technology. By delivering enhanced scan quality, reduced downtime, and improved operational efficiency, this innovative system reshapes the way UT processes are conducted. With its user-centric design, customizable features, and cutting-edge technology, the Bubblevac system stands out as a premier solution for degasification in ultrasonic testing, setting a new standard for performance and reliability in the industry.
