How should scrapped instruments be handled? ? ?
Thread Content
For those of us who are responsible for maintaining instruments, we definitely come across instruments that are no longer usable, such as pressure gauges. Many of these instruments end up being discarded outright, and they can be corrosive or toxic. I wonder how your companies handle such situations? ? ? No one from our company is here to take care of it; it’s just piled up in a house, and we don’t know what to do about it. We’re seeking everyone’s advice, thank you………………
If contaminated, it should be treated as chemical waste and disposed of by qualified entities
All of ours are gathered together and then assessed by the relevant department; if they are indeed unusable, they are disposed of as waste by the supply and distribution department.
It can mainly be used as practice material for maintenance personnel
It’s a waste – it’s usually the parts that come into contact with liquids that get contaminated. These can still be used as spare parts after being cleaned. All other parts that are not damaged can also be used as spare parts to replace other faulty components of the same model. Those that end up unusable can be sold as scrap. Parts that are contaminated or toxic should be handed over to the waste management facilities in the park or at specialized treatment stations for disposal
The disposal of the instrument does not mean its complete destruction; usable parts should be removed and used as spare parts. The other mechanical components should be treated as recyclable waste, while electronic circuit boards and similar items should be handed over to companies with the necessary qualifications to handle them, in accordance with the regulations on the prevention and control of environmental pollution caused by electronic waste. There is one in Langfang. I can’t remember the name.
