WASTE pII. GENERATION FLOW DIAGRAM <br />�-lazardous Waste and Process Description <br />This waste stream is generated from oils used to operate electrical, mechanical (pumps, <br />compressors), T20s (modulators), chokes (subboosters) and machining equipment. Oil is an <br />important component in the successful operation of electrical and mechanical equipment, and <br />in machining operations perfdrmed at SLAC. <br />Oil it4 <br />also used as a dielectric fluid in high-voltage equipment such as transformers, <br />modulators, power supplies and klystrons. High-voltage electrical equipment is essential to <br />the operation of the experimental research performed by SLAC. SLAC always strives, when <br />feasible, to increase the operating life of oils used in this equipment as a way of reducing <br />maintenance costs. <br />Hazardous Waste Mana ement Approaches <br />The following source reduction measures have been implemented: <br />• SLAC has been redesigning equipment, as <br />it fails due to age, to eliminate water <br />intrusion and to provide better heat transfer for critical components. <br />• When feasible, SLAC reconditions oil by removing particulates and moisture and <br />returning it to electrical equipment. <br />• Where appropriate, air cooling is used to cool dielectric oils and electrical equipment. <br />SLAC has implemented, and will <br />continue to implement, these and other such measures <br />where technically and economically feasible. <br />September 1, 2015 SB 14 Plan �_ 1 � <br />
