PERFORMANCES
SF6 is a gas that has a very important impact on greenhouse effect. The companies that proceed to its RECYCLING or its ELIMINATION according to REGULATION, proove their commitment to respect Environment and to fit their action in lasting development context. For this reason, AVANTEC offers you its SF6 ECOPROGRAM. Collection of used SF6 in order to RECYCLE it in our specific installations, or to DESTROY it if RECYCLING is not possible. Providing you with adequate packages dedicated to recovery and approved for ADR road transportation. Taking care of end of life equipment containing SF6 either on your site or on our site with all the logistic operations.

SPECIFICATIONS
In electricity, SF6 is used as a dielectric agent from medium to very high voltage. During its use, it is faced to faulty arcs or sparks that will contaminate it. This is polluting it and may bring air, humidity, CF4 and sometimes some toxic, corrosive and particle decomposition products. The SF6 looses its dielectric qualities but can be regenerated. AVANTEC SF6 ECOPROGRAM offers you to collect this product in order to regenerate it or to eliminate it. AVANTEC has a range of packages dedicated to collect the used product. We use certified transporters to transfer the waste product to our plant. After analysis of the product, our laboratory decides if it is possible or not to regenerate the product or if it is necessary to proceed to its elimination. Reprocessing allows to get a SF6 which meets IEC 60 480 specifications. If this is not the case, the contaminated SF6 is incinerated by certified companies. All these operations are made in the frame of legislation with compulsory administrative documents.
