| Fluorescent Tube Dispenser |
Equipment Description
The
unit fits over a standard 55 gallon steel drum, which serves as a receptacle
for the broken glass and waste metal parts from the discarded fluorescent
light tubes. The disposer crushes the glass and captures the mercury gas
in a disposable filter cartridge. Each cartridge holds mercury gas from
up to 2,400 4' light tubes. A 55 gallon drum holds debris from up to 800
4' light tubes.
Benefits of Use
Navy activities generate large quantities of fluorescent light tubes that must be disposed of as hazardous waste. The fluorescent tube disposer is a reliable, economical method to crush light tubes while capturing mercury vapors.
