Transformer Decontamination Process

The document describes a process flow and material balance diagram for treating a contaminated transformer. The 1500 kg transformer is drained, removing 650 kg of high-PCB level oil for separate treatment. The remaining 850 kg transformer is flushed with 8500 kg of mineral oil. This produces 8865 kg of low-PCB contaminated oil and fluid that is processed through a decontamination reactor, settling tank, and oil regeneration unit to recover 8745 kg of regenerated oil for recycling while generating 100 kg of hazardous waste sludge for secured landfill disposal.
