Fortum, a Finnish energy company, announced yesterday that it has received a “significant” additional order from EnergySolutions for ion exchange materials used in the treatment of contaminated water at the Fukushima Daiichi cleanup site in Japan. EnergySolutions has for the past three years operated its Advanced Liquid Processing System (ALPS) at the site to treat water for cesium, strontium, and cobalt. “Fortum’s ion exchange materials effectively remove cesium and strontium from radioactive water,” Fortum Vice President of Power Solutions Heikki Andersson said in a statement. “In addition to purification effectiveness, another advantage of the Fortum products is their cost efficiency: the amount of the product needed is very small compared to the volume of liquids to be purified.”
