Dismantling of devices filled with SF6 gas

SF6 recovery in a high voltage substation

Environ­mentally friendly disposal of SF6

Are you planning on reconstructing electric fields, switching stations or entire switchyards which contain individual devices filled with SF6 gas? Or you have entire GIS-plants or GIL-piping? Then we are the right partner.

We have the analytics as well as the capacity for evacuation and mobile storage to classify, transport and store several tons of SF6 gas profes­sionally, emission free and within the law. After evacuating the SF6 gas, our parent company RADOS AG takes care of the dismantling and disassembly on site including the entire open-air facility and the separation of transformers and switching equipment. Materials gained from disassembly are then transported to the RADOS AG recycling plant with our own vehicles. The SF6 gas is then treated and recycled in the material cycle without the need for producing new gas. We are also happy to deliver the treated SF6 gas back to you in the quality of new gas to use in other plants. Since we have decade long experience with scrap- and metal trading in our consol­idated companies, we also obtain the other disassembled recyclable materials and bring them back into the material cycle.

Your advantage with us – the entire dismantling process is done through one hand and you do not need to coordinate various businesses. This simplifies communi­cation and documen­tations. Since we are specialized to the handling of SF6 gas, you can be sure to take the legally required path and receive any necessary documen­tation. We rely on the recycling of used SF6 gas to reduce emissions produced by the production of new gas.
