8.2 DISPOSAL
This operation is reserved for trained and qualified maintenance technicians, equipped with appropriate
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
(see Technical and Safety Data Sheets of the liquid treated)
.
The identification plate of your S
CUBIC and
S
BOXER
pump shows the component materials as dealt with
in
Section 2.2 PUMP CONFIGURATION CODE
so that you can carry out any separation and disposal by
homogeneous material types.
S
CUBIC and
S
BOXER
pumps do not contain any dangerous parts or parts requiring conditioning, however
they may present contamination due to the environment in which they are used or the type of fluid used;
in all cases, at the end of their life, disposal and demolition must always be carried out as follows:
WARNING:
danger of serious injury, damage to health, danger of contact with toxic or
corrosive
fluids.
Do not dispose of the pump with residues of dangerous fluids or with surfaces contaminated by toxic,
irritating and/or health damaging fluids.
8.2.1
Wash, remove or decontaminate in an appropriate manner any residues of product or contaminant dan-
gerousto human contact and/or the environment, working according to the indications given in the rele-
vant
Technical Data Sheet or Safety Data Sheet
for the product used.
8.2.2
Carry out internal flushing of the pump product circuit (flushing, decontamination or stripping
depending
on the fluid used) with a suitable detergent or decontaminant.
8.2.3
Close the suction and discharge product shut-off valves on the pump.
8.2.3a
Close the air supply with the 3-way valve and relieve the residual pressure from the internal pneumatic circuit of
the pump after which the air supply at the network node should be disconnected.
8.2.4
Disconnect the compressed air supply pipe from the pump.
8.2.5
PUMP DISASSEMBLY
To disassemble the pump, proceed as follows:
Safety requirements before starting the operation:
•
Pump stopped with air supply disconnected and interlocked and residual pressure discharged;
•
Pump with the external parts cleaned/washed;
• Pump with flushed and/or decontaminated internal product circuit (depending on the liquid being pumped);
•
Closed product sectioning valves (suction and delivery);
•
Suction and delivery pump and circuits cooled.
a. Disconnect
and the suction and discharge hoses of the pump fluid.
b. Disconnect the compressed air supply pipe from the pump.
c. Disassemble and remove the pump from the place of installation using suitable
lifting equipment.
CAUTION
:
danger of spillage of the washing fluid and/or contaminated, danger of injury
and/or
damage to health
.
The pump is not self-draining, care must be taken when handling and dismantling.
In the case of toxic,
harmful or dangerous products, the pump must be properly washed and treated before storage or ship-
ment.
8.2.6
Separate pump components bytype and homogeneous materials
(see Section 2.2)
.
CAUTION
: risk of internal back-pressures and projection of components during disassembly.
In abnormal conditions (incorrect installation and/or shutdown and/or standstill conditions), residual pressure,
which is not discharged, may be generated inside the pump. Before opening and disassembling the pump, it
is necessary to secure the pump casings with a suitable ratchet strap and wear suitable Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE).
8.2.7
For the disposal, contact Specialised Companies.
CAUTION
:
danger of pollution and/or accidents.
It is forbidden to abandon or dispose of small or largecomponents in the environment, which may cause
pollution, accidents or direct and/or indirect damage.
Demolition and disposal of the pump is complete.
