Removal From Use, Disposal And Transport
Typical service life for ThermoJet Oil Purifier equipment manufactured by the manufacturer is 20+
years. Once the ThermoJet Oil Purifier is installed and commissioned in an operating
Hydrocarbon Processing Industry (HPI) process unit, its service life generally coincides with the
life of the owners operation of the plant. Disposal methods used should comply with the users
plant policy and guidelines used for disposal of other machinery assets.
If the ThermoJet Oil Purifier has reached the end of its useful working life and a no-repair
decision is made it must be disposed through a licensed scrap or waste disposal facility.
Alternately the machinery may be partially or completely striped for recycling purposes. Prior to
shipment to a recycling facility or disassembly for recycling the following steps should be
performed;
•
All oil must be drained from the separation tank, the oil heater tube, the oil filer housing
and interconnecting piping and tubing.
•
Disconnect all external supply oil connections. Take care to avoid spills. For oil supply
and return connection locations reference the
INSTALATION

•
