Soil segregation unit

Overview:

The Soil Segregation Unit by Helgeson is a compact, transportable system designed to analyze, classify, and segregate contaminated soil based on its radioactive content. Housed within a 20-foot container, the unit is ideal for on-site decontamination and remediation projects in industries such as nuclear, mining, and environmental management.

It automatically measures radiation levels in soil samples and separates them into appropriate waste categories (clean, low-level, or contaminated), optimizing waste treatment and minimizing disposal costs. The system supports multiple detector types and includes safety monitoring features for reliable and efficient operation in the field.

Features:

1. Flexible Detector Options — Supports multiple detector types (plastic scintillators, inorganic scintillators, and HPGe) depending on whether you are monitoring alpha, beta, or gamma radiation.

2. Modular Analysis Cabinet — Built in a 20 ft container for easy transportation; can be configured with up to two “analysis trains” to double throughput.

3. Automated Soil Screening and Segregation — The system automatically segregates soil/material into big bags based on contamination, helping speed up decontamination or waste management workflows.

4. Operational Safety & Monitoring — Equipped with aerosol monitoring (for airborne alpha & beta emitters), CCTV to observe internal processes, and designed for easy installation and operation.
