Design of a huge water purification system based on the Super-Kamionade system

Hiroyuki Sekiya* for the Hyper-Kamiokande Working Group*Kamioka Observatory, Institute for Cosmic Ray Research, University of Tokyo

Preface: Hyper-Kamiokande (Hyper-K) will be a detector capable of observing CP violation in the Lepton sector, proton decays, atmospheric neutrinos, solar neutrinos, both supernova burst neutrinos and supernova relic neutrinos, and dark matter with sensitivity far that of the Super-Kamioknade(Super-K) detector. Water is the target and signal-sensitive medium of the detector, and thus its quality directly affects the detector’s sensitivity. For that reason, water purification is critical to realizing such a huge water Cherenkov detector.

3. Hyper-K water system will process 1.2kt/h

Although it takes 35 days to replace the water in the 50kt SK tank, its water transparency is always kept above 100m. Backgrounds are low enough to detect >3.5MeV solar neutrinos. A 5%-level top-bottom asymmetry exists, however the systematic error on the SK energy scale due to this is below 0.1%-level after correction.

Super-Kamiokande IV water system since Feb. 2012

Recirculation rate: 60t/h

Reverse osmosis (RO) membrane Filters out ions, contaminants larger than 0.1nm, bacteria etc.

(Mixed-Bed) Ion exchanger Uses resin to remove ions such as calcium and uranium

Cartridge Polisher(CP) Highly pure ion exchange resins remove all ions from water

UV sterilizer(UV) Bacteria sterilization using ultraviolet rays

Vacuum degasifier(VD), Membrane degasifier(MD) Removes gases such as Oxygen and Radon

Ultrafiltration(UF) membrane Removes nanometer-sized particles

Super-K water quality

Takes 70 days to fill one cylindrical tank. Takes 35 days to replace the water in the both 0.5Mt tanks.

PurifiedWater supply

Maintaining operation is the first priority

To avoid convection, very precisely temperature-controlled (±0.01oC) water is supplied to the bottom. Rn Free Air (Rn is removed down to mBq/m3 level by charcoal ) is used for purging.

5 compartments for each tank Water will be recirculated independently in each compartment at 120t/h. The effects of the egg-shape cross section

on the water flow will be taken into account when designing the inlet/outlet.
