Waste products to
be destroyed by
incineration
This type of waste includes the rest of the materials used in the
composition of a gas insulated substation, other than for a few very
specific cases.
These waste products mainly include:
-
-
Parts in epoxy resin
: insulating cone in the case of circuit breake
rs with
insertion
resistan
ce
-
-
Plastic parts load
ed with glass fibre (insul
ating tubes, etc.)
-
-
Seals and gaske
ts, rubber bands, roller bearing
s
-
-
Insulators (sup
port or interrupting chambe
r) composites etc.
Where possible, we recommend that this type of waste be sent via
incineration channels with waste heat recovery.

Certain
elemen
ts, due
to thei
r func

material
constituting
them,
cannot be sent via a recycling or incineration channel.
They include the following components:
-
-
Insulating pa

-
-
Absorb

-
The active elemen
ts in electrical cubicl

-
Cerami
c insulators (suppo

etc.
These waste products will follow specific channels and/or undergo certain
types of processing.
Precise instructions will be supplied for these types of components.
