We are dedicated to providing comprehensive services and ensuring environmental health and safety. You can save money, avoid potential health hazards and reduce your chance of liability by knowing more about your fluorescent lighting system. The lamp component separation process is a mechanical one with the vacuum system capturing all of the mercury and phosphor powder which is then retorted on site. EPSI can recycle any fluorescent or HID lamp regardless of whether the lamp tests hazardous. All materials may be reused in manufacturing other products.
Lamps are then gravity fed into demanufacturing equipment which separates lamp components.
Aluminum end caps are removed, mercury-containing phosphor is removed via vacuum, clean glass is transported to a covered container for further distribution to a glass recycling facility . The unit separates and collects each lamp component for re-use in manufacturing and other commercial products. In this unit, only glass, aluminum, other recyclable lamp products and pure recovered mercury leave the unit. No other recovered component leaves the unit which will not pass the TCLP test. No hazardous waste is generated.
