PCB Services

Transformers, Switchgear and containers often contain oil. Upon arrival on our site a trained Sampler drills a sample hole in the lids of the electrical plant containing oil and opens all oil containers on the loaded trailer. The Sampler draws a sample of oil, by syringe, from each item of electrical plant.

A trained Analyst tests each one for PCB content. The Analyst records the total PCB for each sample number on ‘Oil Sampling Record’. Any items with a result greater than 50 mg/Kg are marked with the word ‘high’ alongside. Transformers contaminated with used transformer oil above 500ppm are disposed of at a specialist, approved site, those below 500ppm are disposed of at our own state-of-the-art facility.

A disposal/destruction note will be produced by the Waste Disposal site and forwarded to our Head Office. All records are kept on site.
