[{"type":"text","content":"\n RNS Number : 9062G Porvair PLC 10 February 2010 \n \n\nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 10 February 2010\n \n \n \n \nPorvair wins new nuclear filtration orders\n \nPorvair plc (\"Porvair\"), the specialist filtration and environmental technology grouptoday announces that its Microfiltration division has had further success in the last week and has won orders amounting to £500,000 for nuclear filtration gas clean up filters, for UK AGR reactors and other development orders.\n \nThe gas clean up filters for UK AGR reactors form a critical part of the gas heat transfer system at the core of the reactor. In normal operation they serve as a filter in the gas drying stage of the reactors heat exchanger and provide vent protection when the reactor pressure is released for routine maintenance and refueling.\n \nThe development orders are for US nuclear fuel production and waste handling projects in France. If successful these could lead to further, much larger orders from 2011.\n \nThese orders help to underpin the Microfiltration division's expected revenue from the nuclear market and are further confirmation of Porvair's successful strategy of targeting selected markets.\n \nBen Stocks, CEO of Porvair, commented:\n \n\"Porvair's Microfiltration division has enjoyed considerable success in developing its position as a leading supplier of gas clean up filters for the nuclear industry. The contracts won this week further demonstrate Porvair's market leading capability in filters for the nuclear industry.\"\n \nFor further information, please contact:\n \n\n\n\n\nPorvair plc\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBen Stocks, Chief Executive\n\n\n01553 765 500\n\n\n\n\nChris Tyler, Group Finance Director\n\n\n01553 765 500\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuchanan Communications\n\n\n0...
