Description

  The present invention includes a cleaning unit for cleaning equipment containing PCB-containing insulating oil with cleaning oil, and a distillation regeneration unit for producing recycled cleaning oil by distilling the PCB-containing cleaning oil generated by the cleaning. The present invention relates to a method for disassembling a PCB-contaminated equipment detoxification facility for disassembling a PCB-contaminated equipment detoxification facility.

PCB (polychlorinated biphenyl) has been widely used in insulating oils for electrical equipment such as capacitors and transformers in the past because of its excellent stability, nonflammability, and electrical insulation properties. Toxicity is apparent and new use is prohibited.
In addition, with regard to devices such as capacitors and transformers (hereinafter also referred to as “PCB-contaminated devices”) that restrict their use and already contain PCB-containing insulating oil (hereinafter also referred to as “PCB-contaminated devices”), the following Patent Document 1 shows that As is done, detoxification is done in special facilities with controlled areas.

  In general, when decontaminating PCB-contaminated equipment such as capacitors and transformers, the equipment after removing the PCB-containing insulating oil and washing the interior with a cleaning oil such as normal paraffin is used. A method is adopted in which a demolition apparatus or the like is used to dismantle the object and clean it again.

In facilities for cleaning and detoxifying equipment contaminated with PCBs in this way, as shown in Patent Document 2 below, many devices are usually provided in addition to a device for performing a cleaning process. Facilities with functions other than processing are provided.
For example, in a conventional processing facility, a cleaning unit composed of a cleaning device and devices such as an oil removal device and a dismantling device attached to the cleaning device, and the cleaning unit is used for cleaning transformers and capacitors. Consists of a distillation regeneration section for distilling cleaning oil containing PCB (PCB-containing cleaning oil) to produce regenerated cleaning oil, and an apparatus for dehalogenating the extracted PCB-containing insulating oil Or a facility having a dehalogenated portion.

By the way, after the detoxification process for electrical devices such as capacitors and transformers is completed, a new issue is how to end the detoxification process for PCB-contaminated equipment.
In other words, there are devices that have PCBs of the same level as electrical devices such as capacitors and transformers inside the devices that make up the PCB contamination device detoxification facility installed in the PCB contamination device detoxification treatment facility. Therefore, it is finally necessary to detoxify these and dismantle the equipment.
However, there are almost no studies on detoxifying these, and no effective method has been established.

  In view of such problems, the present invention produces a regenerated cleaning oil by distilling a cleaning section for cleaning equipment containing PCB-containing insulating oil with cleaning oil, and the PCB-containing cleaning oil generated by the cleaning. An object of the present invention is to provide a method for efficiently and safely disassembling a PCB-contaminated equipment detoxification facility having a distillation regeneration section.

  The present invention related to a method for disassembling a PCB-contaminated equipment detoxifying facility for solving the above-mentioned problems is a cleaning section for cleaning equipment containing PCB-containing insulating oil with cleaning oil, and a PCB-containing cleaning oil produced by the cleaning. A distillation regenerator for producing a regenerated cleaning oil by distilling water into a distillate having a PCB concentration lower than that of the PCB-containing cleaning oil and a bottoms having a high PCB concentration. A decontamination method for decontaminating equipment for decontamination of PCB contamination equipment for decontamination of decontamination equipment for decontamination equipment for PCBs provided in the distillation regeneration section with a distillation column for separation, wherein the apparatus constitutes the washing section Is washed with a cleaning oil, and a low-concentration PCB-containing cleaning oil having a lower PCB concentration than the PCB-containing cleaning oil introduced into the distillation tower before the cleaning is prepared, and the low-concentration PCB-containing cleaning oil is used as the distillation tower. Separated by It is characterized by carrying out the distillation column purification step of reducing than pre-cleaning of the device the PCB adhering amount of inside of the distillation column before the dismantling of the distillation column by Rukoto.

Generally, as a method of removing PCB adhering to an object to be detoxified, it is conceivable to employ means such as wiping or spray cleaning, but for example, it enters an extremely narrow gap where a capillary phenomenon works. It is difficult to remove PCB that has penetrated inside the resin member such as PCB, sealing material, or PCB that has entered the inside of the complicated shape metal member by wiping or the like.
Among the devices that make up PCB pollution equipment detoxification equipment, in particular, distillation towers often contain packings with complex shapes inside, so the interior can be sufficiently cleaned simply by wiping. Is virtually impossible.
On the other hand, when a method of spraying cleaning oil with a spray cleaning device is adopted, it is easy to bring out the cleaning effect in detail compared with wiping, but the PCB that has entered the gap as described above is simply washed away. It is difficult to remove PCBs that have penetrated into parts and PCBs, or PCBs that adhere to multi-layered fillers, and there is a risk that the amount of cleaning oil used will be enormous even if possible .
In that case, there is a possibility that a large amount of PCB-containing cleaning oil is generated by using a large amount of cleaning oil.
That is, with these methods, it is difficult to efficiently reduce the amount of PCB attached to the distillation column.
Furthermore, in spray cleaning and wiping, it is difficult to perform work unless the distillation tower is largely opened. Therefore, if the work efficiency is improved, the internal PCB may be scattered in the work space.

On the other hand, in the present invention, since the PCB-contained cleaning oil having a lower PCB concentration than the PCB-containing cleaning oil introduced in the detoxification of PCB contaminated equipment is separated by the distillation tower, the PCB adheres inside the distillation tower. The amount can be reduced efficiently.
This will be explained in more detail. In the space in the distillation tower where the PCB-containing cleaning oil is distilled and regenerated, the cleaning oil vapor and the condensate are collected from the portion where the bottoms are stored (the bottom of the tower). It exists while changing the PCB concentration over the location where the effluent is stored (top), and usually the location where the distillate is stored does not exist, even if it exists. There are few.
By introducing the low concentration PCB-containing cleaning oil into the distillation column, the inner wall surface and packing of the distillation column are exposed to cleaning oil vapor and condensate having a lower PCB concentration than before.
In other words, the cleaning effect by the cleaning oil vapor is satisfactorily exerted even for an extremely narrow gap, and the cleaning oil vapor and the condensate effectively act on the extraction of the PCB that penetrates the resin member.
This makes it possible to efficiently reduce the amount of PCB deposited on the distillation column.
And since what was utilized for washing | cleaning of other apparatuses as low concentration PCB containing washing | cleaning oil is effectively utilized, the PCB adhesion amount of a distillation tower can be reduced more efficiently.
Moreover, since it is possible to reduce the amount of PCB deposited in the distillation tower while the distillation tower is closed, it is possible to suppress PCB scattering.
Therefore, the PCB-contaminated equipment detoxification facility equipped with the distillation tower can be efficiently and safely disassembled.

  In the present embodiment, the PCB polluted equipment harmless facility constructed as described above is harmless to the PCB polluted equipment, taking as an example a method of sanitizing the distillation tower when dismantling after completing its mission. A method for dismantling the chemical equipment will be described.

  In the distillation columns 21 and 22, for example, PCB may enter a clearance between the packings 212 and 213, a slight clearance between the thermometers T 1, T 2, T 3 and the column body 211, Since PCB has penetrated into the resin member or PCB has entered the metal member having a complicated shape, the PCB adhering to the inside of the tower can be removed as much as possible in order to make the distillation column harmless. Efficient removal is important.

In the dismantling process of the PCB-contaminated equipment detoxification facility of this embodiment, the devices constituting the cleaning unit 10 are cleaned before the distillation towers 21 and 22 are disassembled to reduce the amount of these PCBs attached and the cleaning. A low-concentration PCB-containing cleaning oil having a PCB concentration lower than that of the PCB-containing cleaning oil previously supplied to the first distillation column 21 is prepared, and the PCB is deposited inside the distillation column using the low-concentration PCB-containing cleaning oil. It is important to carry out a distillation column purification step (hereinafter also referred to as “first distillation column purification step”) for reducing the amount in order to reduce labor required for the subsequent dismantling of the distillation columns 21 and 22.
That is, in the present embodiment, it is important to detoxify the distillation tower that is difficult to be detoxified by a general method while detoxifying the devices constituting the cleaning unit 10. is there.

  Further, in the present embodiment, after the first distillation column purification step is performed, a clean cleaning oil is introduced into the first distillation column 21 instead of the low-concentration PCB-containing cleaning oil, and the first distillation column 21 is cleaned. By operating the column 21 and the second distillation column 22 and introducing the regenerated cleaning oil discharged from the second distillation column 22 into the introduction space of the first distillation column 21 again, the PCBs inside these distillation columns It is preferable to further carry out the second distillation column purification step for reducing the amount of adhesion before disassembling the distillation columns 21 and 22.

The distillation tower purification process will be described below.
(First distillation tower purification process)
If there is no need to further detoxify the transformer, the oil removal device 11, the rough dismantling device 12, the secondary dismantling device 14, and the high-concentration PCB-containing liquid conveying pipe L1 are greatly reduced in necessity. Therefore, the first distillation column purification step can be carried out by disassembling and cleaning these, for example, as shown in FIG.
In addition, if it is not necessary to further detoxify the transformer, the necessity of the first storage tank 31 of the dehalogenating unit 30 is greatly reduced. You may implement together with the washing | cleaning of the said apparatuses.
Specifically, these devices (oil removal device, dismantling device, devices disposed in the middle of the high concentration PCB-containing liquid transportation piping such as pumps, devices attached to devices such as various instruments and jigs, pipes, joints, valves, High-concentration PCB-containing liquid conveying piping constituent members such as a sealing material) are disassembled, and these are introduced into the primary cleaning device 13, and the primary cleaning device 13 is supplied from the regenerated cleaning oil storage tank 29 through the cleaning oil supply piping L2. The primary cleaning is performed while supplying the regenerated cleaning oil, and then the secondary cleaning and the final cleaning are performed in the same manner to produce a low-concentration PCB-containing cleaning oil to be used in the first distillation column purification step.

Since the amount of PCB adhering to these devices is usually equal to or less than that of a transformer or the like, this first is achieved by washing under the same conditions as when the transformer is detoxified. It is possible to produce a low-concentration PCB-containing cleaning oil having a lower PCB concentration than the PCB-containing cleaning oil stored in the PCB-containing cleaning oil tank 17 before the start of the distillation column purification process.
Then, by supplying this low-concentration PCB-containing cleaning oil to the distillation towers 21 and 22 to produce regenerated cleaning oil, the amount of PCB attached in the distillation tower can be reduced.

To explain this, since the distillation separation performance in the distillation column is almost determined by its internal structure, the concentration of the PCB is lower than that of the PCB-containing cleaning oil supplied from the PCB-containing cleaning oil tank 17 so far. When the PCB-containing cleaning oil is operated in a steady state, for example, when it is actually operated for the detoxification treatment of the transformer, the PCB concentration in the entire column main body is lowered.
Then, the PCB that has been fixed to the tower body, such as the PCB that has entered the narrow part of the tower and the PCB that has penetrated the members, will be lower than the previous PCB concentration. It is extracted by the liquid in the tower or the cleaning oil vapor and removed to the outside as a bottoms.

  Since it takes time to extract the PCB that has entered the narrow part and the PCB that has penetrated into the member with the normal temperature cleaning oil, it takes a lot of time and washing to remove these PCBs by spray cleaning or the like. However, in this embodiment, it takes time since the PCB is removed in the process of regenerating the PCB-containing cleaning oil used for cleaning the devices constituting the cleaning unit 10. And wasteful consumption of cleaning oil can be suppressed.

  In addition, it is not necessary to prepare low concentration PCB-containing cleaning oil at the time of cleaning the oil removal device 11, the rough dismantling device 12, the secondary dismantling device 14, and the high concentration PCB-containing liquid conveying pipe L1 etc. The low-concentration PCB-containing insulating oil may be produced at any time during the first distillation column purification step.

  For example, after detoxifying the above-mentioned devices, when disassembling and cleaning and detoxifying the primary cleaning device 13 and its accessories, usually before starting the first distillation column purification step In addition, since a low-concentration PCB-containing insulating oil having a PCB concentration much lower than that of the PCB-containing cleaning oil supplied to the first distillation column 21 can be produced, the oil removal device 11, the rough demolition device 12, and the secondary demolition device 14 The PCB-containing cleaning oil after cleaning the high-concentration PCB-containing liquid conveyance pipe L1 may be directly dehalogenated by the dehalogenating unit 30 and not used for purification of the distillation columns 21 and 22.

In addition, the secondary cleaning device 15 is disassembled next to the primary cleaning device 13 and cleaned by the finish cleaning device 16, so that the PCB-containing cleaning oil stored in the PCB-containing cleaning oil tank 17 is further reduced in PCB concentration. Can do.
At this time, it is preferable to carry out the cleaning of the secondary cleaning device 15 until the finishing cleaning device itself is sufficiently clean, and thereby the finishing cleaning device 16 together with the secondary cleaning device 15 is rendered harmless. Can do.
In this way, as shown in FIG. 4, prior to the dismantling of the distillation columns 21 and 22, most of the devices constituting the cleaning unit 10 can be made harmless and dismantled.
It should be noted that the oil removal device 11 after cleaning, the rough dismantling device 12, the secondary dismantling device 14, the high-concentration PCB-containing liquid transfer pipe L1, the primary cleaning device 13, the secondary cleaning device 15, the finishing cleaning device 16, and the PCB-containing cleaning oil tank 17 If the PCB is removed sufficiently, it can be sent out of the facility and disposed of as it is. If necessary, it can be made harmless by vacuum heating with the vacuum heating device 52 and disposed of by disposing out of the facility. do it.

(Second distillation column purification process)
In the present embodiment, the second distillation column 21 and 22 are made harmless by further reducing the PCB adhesion amount with respect to the distillation towers 21 and 22 in which the PCB adhesion amount has been reduced in the first distillation column purification step. Perform distillation tower purification process.
In the second distillation column purification step, after the first distillation column purification step is completed and all the PCB-containing cleaning oil stored in the PCB-containing cleaning oil tank 17 is regenerated, for example, as shown in FIG. The supply destination of the cleaning oil from the regenerated cleaning oil storage tank 29 is the first distillation column 21 via the cleaning oil recirculation pipe L 5, and the bottoms of the second distillation column 22 are used as the first distillation column 21. It can be implemented by supplying the dehalogenation unit 30 to the first distillation column 21 and the second distillation column 22 without operating.

At this time, clean cleaning oil supplied from the regenerated cleaning oil storage tank 29 is introduced into the introduction space 214 of the first distillation column 21, and dropped into the bottoms liquid retention space 216 along the surface of the lower packing 213. Will be.
The lower packing 213 is usually attached with a low-concentration PCB-containing cleaning oil equivalent to the low-concentration PCB-containing cleaning oil introduced in the first distillation tower purification step. In the tower purification process, clean cleaning oil is dripped, so that the cleaning is further performed in a clean state.

Further, the PCB concentration of the bottoms staying in the bottoms staying space 216 will also be lower than before.
If it does so, the amount of PCB adhesion will be reduced by circulating cleaning oil with low PCB concentration also inside heat exchanger 27 and bottoms reflux piping L9.
Even if a narrow gap is formed between the insertion portion of the lower thermometer T3 and the tower body 211, the concentration balance between the PCB-containing insulating oil and the bottoms entering the gap is balanced. The action of maintaining works, and the cleaning effect is exhibited even inside this gap.
Further, a PCB-containing insulating oil is used as a sealing material used at the connection point between the first bottom discharge pipe L6 and the bottom discharge pipe L9 and the connection point between the bottom discharge pipe L9 and the heat exchanger 27. Similarly, PCB is removed in the case where the water has permeated.

Then, the amount of PCB adhering inside the first distillation tower can be reduced by discharging the bottoms from the tower body at a constant rate through the first bottoms discharge pipe L6.
Further, the discharged bottoms can be transferred to the second storage tank 32 of the second processing chamber 2 and dehalogenated as before.

On the other hand, the distillate is introduced into the second distillation column 22 and further separated into a distillate having a low PCB concentration and a bottoms.
The distillate discharged from the second distillation column 22 can be returned to the regenerated cleaning oil storage tank 29 and used again for cleaning in the distillation column.

In addition, since the PCB concentration of the bottoms discharged | emitted from the 2nd distillation column 22 will fall with progress of time normally, as shown in FIG. 6, for example, the can discharged | emitted from the 2nd distillation column 22 When the effluent reaches a level that can be used as a regenerated cleaning oil (PCB concentration is 0.5 ppm or less, more preferably 0.01 ppm or less), the distillate flow path is switched to remove the distillate. You may make it return to the introduction space 214 of the one distillation column 21. FIG.
Here, at the start of the second distillation column purification step, if the amount of washing oil in the distillation column is to be stabilized, the amount discharged from the bottom (A) of the first distillation column 21 and the second distillation column Although it is necessary to supply the regenerated insulating oil or new oil (A + B) combined with the bottom discharge (B) from the regenerated cleaning oil storage tank 29 or the new oil storage tank 51, the second distillation column By returning the distillate to the first distillation column 21 when the bottoms discharged from the tank 22 can be used as the regenerated cleaning oil, the regenerated cleaning oil storage tank 29 or the new oil storage tank 51 is used. Can be reduced to an amount (A) commensurate with the amount of bottoms discharged from the first distillation column 21.

In addition, since it is possible to determine that the amount of PCB deposited on the second distillation column 22 has been sufficiently reduced when the bottoms discharged from the second distillation column 22 become usable to the regenerated cleaning oil. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the second distillation column 22 can be disassembled and the second distillation column purification process can be continued only on the first distillation column 21 side.
The disassembled second distillation column 22 can be taken out of the facility and disposed of as it is, and if necessary, it can be detoxified by vacuum heating with the vacuum heating device 52 and disposed out of the facility for disposal. .
In this case, a new bypass pipe La for connecting the first distillate discharge pipe L7 and the cleaning oil supply pipe L2 is provided, and the distillate of the first distillation column 21 is supplied to the cleaning oil supply pipe L2 and the cleaning oil reflux. What is necessary is just to make it return to the 1st distillation column 21 again via the piping L5.

However, since the second distillation column 22 is similar to the cleanest device having a small amount of PCB attached in the PCB decontamination equipment detoxification facility, the second distillation column 22 is used as the first distillation column 21 in preparation for an unexpected situation. It is also possible to keep it in an operable state until it is sufficiently cleaned, and it is also possible to operate the second distillation column 22 alone after detoxifying and dismantling the first distillation column 21.
For example, even when it is determined that the PCB concentration of the bottoms discharged from the first distillation column 21 has sufficiently decreased and the first distillation column 21 has been cleaned, it is assumed that the first distillation column 21 has been disassembled. There is a risk that PCB adhesion may be found at the unexposed locations.
On the other hand, since the second distillation column 22 is normally operated under relatively clean conditions, there is a low possibility of causing such an unexpected situation.
Therefore, the final cleaning device 16 is left to the end together with the second distillation column 22 without being disassembled, or a simple cleaning device is newly introduced and PCB remains inside the first distillation column 21. In this case, the cleaning is performed by the simplified cleaning device or the remaining finishing cleaning device 16, and the PCB-containing cleaning oil discharged from the cleaning device is separated by distillation in the second distillation column 22 and the second distillation column. The regenerated cleaning oil obtained at 22 may be reused for cleaning the dismantled product of the first distillation column 21.
That is, until the detoxification of the other devices such as the first distillation column 21 is completed, the second distillation column 22 is left with the cleaning device and the second distillation column 22 having a low possibility of PCB being attached inside. The double distillation column 22 may be finally dismantled.

If necessary, the second distillation column purification step can be carried out in such a manner that the bottoms of the second distillation column 22 as shown in FIG. 4 are returned to the first distillation column 21.
However, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, if the distillation columns 21 and 22 are operated while supplying clean cleaning oil such as new oil and regenerated cleaning oil in an amount corresponding to the amount discharged from the first distillation column 21, Since PCB is contained in the bottoms of the second distillation column 22 for a while after the start, before the second distillation column purification process is started by supplying clean cleaning oil to the first distillation column 21. It takes a certain amount of time.
When the second distillation column purification step is carried out in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the entire purification may take time, while the first distillation column purification is performed without switching the flow path of the bottoms. It has the advantage that it can transfer to a 2nd distillation tower purification process from a process.

  In carrying out this second distillation column purification step, at least one of the values of the upper thermometers T1 and T4 and the values of the lower thermometers T3 and T6 of the first distillation column 21 and the second distillation column 22 is used. It is preferable to operate the distillation column while preferably confirming both.

That is, having a temperature difference between the top and the bottom of the distillation column means that there is a corresponding gradient in PCB concentration in the distillation column. Therefore, while measuring these, the distillation columns 21 and 22 are measured. By performing the internal cleaning, it is possible to grasp how much purification has been performed.
For example, in the second distillation column 22, when the distillate obtained from the upper part of the distillation column contains almost no PCB, on the other hand, when the bottoms contain PCB, it depends on the PCB concentration. This creates a temperature gradient in the distillation column.
On the other hand, when the washing progresses and the bottoms contain almost no PCB, the temperature gradient in the distillation column becomes smaller. Thus, by measuring the temperature gradient in the distillation tower, it is possible to grasp how much the inside of the distillation tower has been washed.

Finally, a step of measuring the content of PCB contained in the bottoms discharged from the distillation column is further performed to determine whether or not the distillation column is sufficiently detoxified. It is preferable.
In this final determination, it can be usually determined that the distillation column is sufficiently purified if the PCB concentration in the bottoms is about 0.5 ppm or less.
However, considering that there is a possibility that PCB is attached to an unexpected place, it is preferable to continue the second distillation column purification step until the PCB concentration of the bottoms becomes 0.1 ppm or less, More preferably, the second distillation tower purification step is continued until the detection limit is reached.
The measurement of the PCB concentration of the bottoms does not need to be performed for both the first distillation column 21 and the second distillation column 22, and the PCB concentration of the bottoms in the first distillation column 21 is as described above. If it is, it can be judged that the PCB concentration of the bottoms is equal to or less than the above in the second distillation column 22 as well, and it is only necessary to carry out on the first distillation column side.

  In addition, when PCB is fully removed from the distillation columns 21 and 22, the condensers 23 and 24, the heat exchangers 27 and 28, the bottoms discharge pipes L6 and L10, the bottoms reflux pipe L9, Since L13 and the like are in a state where PCB is sufficiently removed, these can be safely disassembled together with the distillation columns 21 and 22.

  In this second distillation column purification process, cleaning oil is required only in an amount commensurate with the amount of effluent discharged from the distillation column, compared to the case where cleaning oil is used one-way as in spray cleaning. Thus, it can be said that the consumption of the cleaning oil can be reduced, and furthermore, it is excellent in the removal performance of the PCB that has entered the narrow portion or penetrated into the member.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to safely and efficiently dismantle PCB-contaminated equipment detoxification equipment used for detoxifying equipment containing PCB-containing insulating oil such as capacitors and transformers.

In this embodiment, the PCB-contaminated equipment detoxification facility provided with two distillation towers is taken as an example, but the PCB-contaminated equipment detoxification equipment provided with only one distillation tower, The present invention can be carried out in the same manner as in the above examples even when a PCB-contaminated equipment detoxification facility equipped with the above distillation tower is provided.
For example, in the case where another distillation column is provided between the first distillation column and the second distillation column, the distillate of the first distillation column is introduced into another distillation column. And the distillate discharged from the other distillation column is introduced into the second distillation column and the bottoms are returned to the first distillation column, and the second distillation column can The effluent may be returned to the other distillation column.
In this way, if three or more distillation towers are arranged and the distillation tower purification process is performed while supplying the low-concentration PCB-containing cleaning oil to the first distillation tower, the PCB contamination equipment exemplified in this embodiment The same effect as the detoxification facility dismantling method can be obtained.
That is, the same effect can be obtained even when the distillate of the first distillation column is not introduced directly into the second distillation column but indirectly through another distillation column.
For example, when a third distillation column is provided between the first distillation column and the second distillation column, the second distillation column, the third distillation column, and the first distillation column are cleaned in this order in the same manner as in this embodiment. What is necessary is just to make it dismantle in order from the distilling tower made into.
Moreover, you may disassemble in order from the distillation column provided in the front | former stage in order of the 1st distillation column, the 3rd distillation column, and the 2nd distillation column in preparation for an unexpected situation.
The same applies when four or more distillation columns are provided.
Further, the structure of the distillation column is not limited to the distillation column described in the present embodiment, and can be applied to a distillation column having two or more packings.
The method for heating the bottoms is not limited to the method described in this embodiment, and a circulation line is provided at the bottom of the distillation column, and a heat exchanger for heating the bottoms may be provided in the circulation line. It is good also as a structure which provides a heater in a bottoms liquid storage part and heats bottoms.

In this embodiment, the cleaning unit devices are disassembled and the cleaning unit devices are cleaned in the dismantled state, but the same state as when used for detoxifying the transformer The apparatus may be cleaned with a low-concentration PCB-containing cleaning oil.
Moreover, in this embodiment, although the case where normal paraffin is utilized as washing | cleaning oil is illustrated, it will wash | clean if it has the high solubility with respect to PCB, its boiling point is lower than PCB, and the separation | separation in a distillation tower is possible The oil is not particularly limited to normal paraffin.
Moreover, in this embodiment, the contaminated oil from the oil removal apparatus 11, the rough demolition apparatus 12, and the secondary demolition apparatus 14 is supplied to the 2nd processing chamber through the piping L1, but these piping connections are not specifically limited.
