System Background for ITER
Helium-3 rich gases are first sent through ambient z-bed to remove moisture. The helium-3 gas is purified by passing it through three liquid nitrogen cooled Z-beds in series. These Z-beds remove contaminants (i.e. inerts and other small amounts of hydrogen isotopes). Purified gases are stored and sampled for loading inside the Feed Tank.
