Company Bio
AVANTech, Inc. is a US owned small business that was created in 1999 in Columbia, South Carolina. Since its development, AVANTech has designed, manufactured, and initiated operations on over one hundred projects in the United States as well as all over the world including: China, Japan, Australia, UAE, Puerto Rico, and Mexico. In November 2014, AVANTech expanded their operations by merging with Diversified Technologies Services, which became AVANTech’s Nuclear Services division in Knoxville, Tennessee. Together they provide a wide range of products and services to the DOD, DOE, nuclear, and commercial industries.
AVANTech is a comprehensive leader in providing innovative solutions to improve efficiencies in water treatment and waste minimization practices. With our wide range of engineers and design teams, we have the knowledge and expertise to deliver timely quality results, allowing us to drive down costs and minimize wastes. Our staff of professional engineers includes chemistry, mechanical, and electrical specialists, as well as PEs in Process, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering.
AVANTech is a global leader in the safe recycling, processing, and disposal of nuclear material. We provide an integrated service to many of the commercial US nuclear plants and can respond to emergency efforts such as what was needed following the Fukushima Daiichi incident.
AVANTech provides superior quality manufacturing, adhering to a stringent NQA-1 Quality Assurance Program. AVANTech has implemented a quality program that has met the standards for the nuclear industry for the past ten years. Our Quality Assurance Program has been audited by Government and Nuclear clients from all over the world including the US DOE, CH2M Hill, Bechtel, Fluor, URS, and numerous other architect engineers.
AVANTech holds an ASME Code Stamp to manufacture pressure vessels. All pipe welding is performed in accordance with ASME Code, and all structural welding is performed in accordance with the American Welding Society (AWS) code. AVANTech also has Certified Weld Inspectors on staff for inspection and validation. AVANTech’s panel shop is certified to manufacture and stamp all electrical panels to the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) standard.
AVANTech is committed to establishing and sustaining a positive environmental legacy in all of its business activities. AVANTech has had long-standing corporate policies of providing a safe and healthful work place, minimizing the overall environmental impact, and conserving energy and natural resources. AVANTech has established and implemented the necessary controls and processes to achieve certification to ISO 14001:2004 – Environmental Management System. While the certificate is specific to our Knoxville location, the same controls and processes are being implemented at both locations. This further establishes AVANTech as a leader in our industry, ensuring that we are protecting the environment not only with the systems and products we provide our customers, but also in our facilities and activities.
AVANTech’s technologies include demineralization, polymer solidification, filtration and ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, dewatering, and drying. Our modular units can be furnished on a stand-alone basis, or can be combined to provide the most efficient means of processing while minimizing radiological effects and the generation of waste material. Systems have demonstrated superior performance when it comes to process radioactive stream or pool cleanup programs, sludge collection, silica removal, boric acid recovery, and/or zero environmental release activities.
