Disposal of sodium-filled valves - OS05.30-P-0001-01A

Exhaust valves filled with sodium 

Collecting and storing

The sodium-cooled valves must be inspected for leaks and neutralized if any leakage exists. Neutralizing should be performed in the open in a vessel containing a 2: 1 mixture of spirit and water. After this, the cleaned valves can be gathered together with other scrap items, in a closed removable open container for scrapping.

Disposal

The parts are scrapped by the scrap trade. Documentary proof of disposal, accompanying or delivery documents as well as other disposal documents are not necessary.

Legal right in respect of information

The competent authority is obliged to provide information regarding waste disposal installations on request. National or local legislation determines which authority is responsible for providing such information.

Disposal of larger quantities of leaktight valves is possible through:
