Removal From Use, Disposal And Transport
When properly maintained, the ThermoJet Oil Purifier equipment is designed to provide many years of
continuous service. Once the ThermoJet Oil Purifier is installed and commissioned in an operating
Hydrocarbon Processing Industry (HPI) process unit, its service life can coincide 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
section of this manual.
•
Remove and drain all oil supply, oil return and flare connection tubing, pipe and hardware.
•
Remove all oil filters. Dispose of elements in accordance with all regulatory requirements in force
at the time of equipment disposition. Consult you company environmental protection or plant safety
department for guidance.
•
Turn off and disconnect supply nitrogen connection. For nitrogen supply connection locations

section of this manual.
In case of oil spillage, the user or other
responsible body must ensure appropriate
cleanup and decontamination is carried out.
NOTICE:

prior to disconnecting. The source should be
equipped with a plugged block valve to prevent
