The underwater technological equivalent of TMR’s patented hydrolasing tool, the VAC TRAX^®, is provided by the TMR SUB TRAX. Like the VAC TRAX^®, the SUB TRAX waste stream is also contained. However, for underwater containment (such as within a reactor pool), a different approach is necessary. Containment is provided with a primary water mover, instead of an air mover. The water mover is provided as part of a filtration system on the return side of a closed cycle.

Hydraulic differential holds the SUB TRAX to the surface while evacuating process water and the generated waste stream are directed to a filtration System. The filtered water is returned to the underwater pool from which it was taken. During hydrolasing operations water added to the pool is offset as required by drain down through the treatment/filtering system to maintain the appropriate pool level.

TMR is acutely aware of the environmental and radiological safety concerns regarding the introduction of unwanted fluids and/or gases into otherwise clean pools. With this in mind, we have incorporated structurally sound closed loop drive mechanisms and unobjectionable fluids into our designs.
