10.1. SAFETY NOTES FOR DISMANTLING AND DISPOSAL
WARNING!
•
Risk of injury through incorrect dismantling!
RESIDUAL ENERGY STORAGE, SHARP EDGED COMPONENTS, TIPS AND CORNERS ON AND IN THE
SYSTEM OR ON THE REQUIRED TOOLS CAN CAUSE INJURY.
•
arrange enough space for working
•
be careful with sharp edges
•
pay attention for order and cleanness
•
loose components can cause accidents
•
dismantle the components properly. Bear in mind that some of the components are heavy. Use lifting
equipment if necessary
•
secure the components against falling or toppling over
10.2. DISMANTLING
PRIOR STARTING DISMANTLING
Close second pressure stage regulator by turning the handwheel anti clockwise.
Depressurize second pressure stage regulator and make sure that there is no process gas inside the gas
supply panel anymore.
Close process gas valves and make sure that there is no process gas inside
Depressurize high pressure side by using purge gas shut-off valves.
Depressurize tubing system and purge with inert gas if neccessary.
Depending on manifold make process gas (see 6.5.1) or inert gas purging (see 6.5.2)
Dismantle the assemblies and components properly and in compliance with applicable local work safety and
environmental protection regulations.
At the end devices and components have to be cleaned and disassembled due to valid rules of industrial
safety and environment protection.
WARNING!
•
Do not open system fi lled or used with toxic and/ or corrosive gases.
10.3. DISPOSAL
In the absence of a return or disposal agreement, the dismantled components should be recycled as follows:
Metals: scrap.
Plastics: recycle.
Other components: sort and dispose.
In accordance with Article 33 of REACH GCE, s.r.o. as responsible manufacturer shall inform all customers
if materials containing 0.1% or more of substances included in the list of Substance of Very High Concern
(SVHC).
The most commonly used brass alloys used for bodies and other brass components contain 2-3% of lead (Pb),
EC no. 231-100-4, CAS no. 7439-92-1. The lead will not be released to the gas or surrounding environment
during normal use. After end of life the product shall be scrapped by an authorized metal recycler to ensure
effi cient material handling with minimal impact to environment and health.
To date we have no information that indicates that other materials containing SVHC of concentrations
exceeding 0.1% are included in any GCE product.
