III -- Categories and treatment of the materials (contd.)
3 -- 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 breakers with
insertion resistance
-- Plastic parts loaded with glass fibre (insulating tubes, etc.)
-- Seals and gaskets, rubber bands, roller bearings
-- Insulators (support or interrupting chamber) composites etc.
Where possible, we recommend that this type of waste be sent via
incineration channels with waste heat recovery.
4 -- Special wastes
Certain elements, due to their function or the material constituting them,
cannot be sent via a recycling or incineration channel.
They include the following components:
-- Insulating parts from the interrupting chamber
-- Absorbent molecular sieves
-- The active elements in electrical cubicles
-- Ceramic insulators (support or interrupting chamber) or those still called
porcelain, 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.
