PURIDEC® Irradiation Technologies is an established
business brand of REVISS® Services (UK) Ltd., supplying
technology to the global industrial radiation processing
industry. Products and services include sealed cobalt-60
and ceasium-137 radiation sources, gamma plant
mechanical equipment, plant control and dosimetry
automation, source rack and pool maintenance and
optimisation packages, container hire and technical
training packages.
Established in 1992, REVISS now supplies PURIDEC
sources to plant operators in more than 30 countries
around the world including all the largest contract
irradiators.
Securing the supply of cobalt-60 is fundamental to the
business of industrial radiation processing. To this end,
in addition to PA MAYAK in Russia, REVISS has
established a strategic alliance with CNEA in Argentina,
securing a second source of supply of Co-60 for industrial
sterilization sources.
REVISS has a background in sealed source technology
that is traceable, through partnership with Amersham
International to the UKAEA in 1948. Our leadership
derives from this heritage combined with the
manufacturing expertise of our business partners and
our daily experience of working closely with our
customers. REVISS has a mandate to manage PURIDEC
sealed source production criteria in compliance with the,
independently assessed, International Organisation for
Standardisation, ISO9O01 quality standard
Other services
Installation and engineering
PURIDEC engineers are experienced in the installation of RSL1800
sources into dry and wet storage irradiation plants. PURIDEC
supplies Co-60 to all the major contract irradiation service
providers in the world. PURIDEC engineers can provide specialist
routine maintenance and advisory services for users of dry plant.
Plant upgrade services include redesign and supply of source
modules, racks and product transportation systems to achieve
maximum plant operating efficiency.
Source rack load optimisation
PURIDEC uses state-of-the-art interactive source load
optimisation software to minimise overdose and maximise plant
efficiency in-line with individual business requirements. Although
the benefits gained in cobalt utilisation efficiency are often small
in percentage terms, when this is translated into cubic metres of
processed product or an equivalent number of curies of cobalt-
60, the benefit from load optimisation can actually be very
significant.
Environmental Quality Surveillance
PURIDEC Co-60 sources carry a 20-year, in service warranty.
A rigorous environmental surveillance program is offered to
plant operators in order to ensure warranty conditions are met
throughout the lifetime of the source, regardless of the original
supplier.
Source lifetime management
PURIDEC will, subject to prior agreement, remove decayed
Cobalt-60 sources at the time of plant reloading. Typical lifetime
management terms are one spent source removed for each new
source loaded. At the time of loading, PURIDEC may agree to
remove additional sources as part of the negotiated conditions of
each contract. Sources removed need not be part of PURIDEC
manufacture, provided that they are in good structural condition,
are covered by a valid Special Form certificate, can be transported
in existing container designs and can be recycled.
