10 Returns and Disposal
10.1 Returns
Contact Flowserve to obtain a return material authorization (RMA), instructions, and a
contamination declaration before returning any products to Flowserve.
Returned products shall be emptied, cleaned, and preserved before returning the equipment to
Flowserve. Flowserve will open the returned equipment only if the contamination declaration is
present.
See section 4.3 for guidelines on appropriate FLEX packaging.
Note: the terms and conditions associated with returning a product/system shall be addressed
within the purchasing agreement or contract, and not part of this User Instruction.
10.2 Disposal and recycling
At the end of the equipment service life, the relevant materials and parts should be recycled or
disposed of using local environmental regulation methods. If the product contains substances
which are harmful to the environment, then the removal or disposal of the equipment must be in
accordance with local/regional regulations. This includes any liquid and/or gas in the “seal
system” or utility.
Refer to Safety Data Sheets and make sure that hazardous substances or toxic fluids are
disposed of safely and that the correct personal protective equipment is used. All activities
involving hazardous substances or toxic fluids must be in compliance with published safety
standards.
