| DISPOSAL/RECYCLING |
| |
TW SERVICES, INC.
operates a facility , which recycles electrical equipment less
than 499 PPM PCB and PCB/Asbestos containing wire and cable.
Our company serves local electrical companies, Fortune 500
companies and the Department of Defense.
Described below are the waste streams that TW Services, Inc.
receives and the recovery process and materials. |
| |
| ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
0-49 PPM PCB |
| |
Electrical
equipment less than 50 PPM PCB (test results) received at the TW
Services, Inc. Facility is traced by serial number.
Units are drained of residual MODEF with the oil pumped into a
storage tank for disposal at an approved facility.
The units are then disassembled and recycled for their ferrous
and non-ferrous metals. |
| |
| PCB/ASBESTOS CABLE |
| |
| Besides the
processing of electrical equipment TW Services, Inc. has an
approval to process for the disposal of PCB cable. This
cable is transported in bulk to the facility and stored in the
facility until ready for processing. This bulk container
is put into the wire processing room and processed in a
wire-chopping machine. The outer coating, which will be
shipped to an approved landfill, is separated from the copper.
The copper will be shipped to a smelter. |

| ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
50-499 PPM PCB |

When PCB
Contaminated Electrical Equipment is transported and received at
the TW Services, Inc. facility, they are logged into the PCB
Tracking System which follows the tracking of wipe samples on
metals (Copper and Steel) and the destruction of the PCB
contaminated oil.
Each transformer is drained of residual MODEF with the MODEF
pumped into a storage tank, which will then be transported for
disposal at an EPA permitted facility. The unit is then
disassembled with all metals put through a decontamination
process. The core itself (Copper/Paper windings) is
processed in TW Services, Inc. EPA approved wire/cable
process and the paper and copper is separated.
Copper samples are taken, along with wipe samples from the
metals tested for residual PCB's. All metals are
decontaminated to levels set by the U.S.EPA in regulation for
metals that are to be shipped to a smelter. (Copper has been
less than 2 PPM PCB and wipe samples have been less than 10 ug/100
sq. cm..)
Materials that cannot be recycled are disposed of at an EPA
permitted facility.
After disposal of PCB Waste materials, processing of metals and
verified lab results, then a certificate of Disposal is issued
to the generator. |
| |
| ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
>500 PPM PCB |
| |
| We are licensed and
insured to pick up, haul and dispose of your over 500 PPM
electrical equipment. Please call for more information. |
| |
| TESTING |
| |
| Materials that are
received at the facility are tested by the generator before
being shipped to TW Services, Inc. After receiving it at
the facility, serial numbers are cross-matched to the PPM of the
units. However, units can be shipped untested and samples
will be sent to a third party for testing. Once test
results are obtained a copy is sent to the Generator for their
records. The units are then disposed of accordingly.
In most cases, test results are obtained within the same day. |
