Decommissioning and disposal
10.2 Disposal
Components
Sort the components for recycling according to whether they are:
● Electronics waste, e.g., sensor electronics
● Iron to be recycled
● Aluminum
● Non-ferrous metal, e.g., motor windings
● Insulating materials
Process materials and chemicals
Sort the process materials and chemicals for recycling according to whether they are:
● Oil
Dispose of the spent oil as special waste in accordance with the spent oil ordinance.
● Grease
● Solvents
● Cleaner solvent
● Paint residues
Do not mix solvents, cleaner solvents and paint residues.
Insulating materials
Electrical insulation materials are mainly used in the stator. Some supplementary
components are made of similar materials and must, therefore, be handled in the same
manner. The insulating materials in question are used on the following items of equipment:
● Various insulators, which are used in terminals boxes
● Voltage and current transformers
● Electric cables
● Instrument wiring
● Surge arrester
● Capacitors
Disposing of permanent magnets
Permanent magnets must be demagnetized prior to disposal. This helps avoid potential
hazards caused by permanent magnets during and after disposal. Permanent magnets are
heated to demagnetize them.
