A deep bed glass fiber fllter was designed, fabricated, and installed in the ten-inch vessel off-gas line as it leaves Bldg. 3019. The discharge from this filter goes to the 3039 stack. The efficiency of this filter at normal gas flow rates is equivalent (99.98%) to the absolute'' type filters; however, it is capable of passing without damage to the filter many times the normal gas flow rate with a small reduction in efficiency. The fabrication, test, and installation of a filter at Bldg. 3019 are described. A program of tests to be conducted periodically to establish feasibility and applicability of this type of filter to vessel off-gas service at ORNL is also outlined. (auth)
