This includes projects that eliminate PCB items that are in compliance with 40 CFR 761 and are not projected for replacement prior to December 1998 to meet service life, serviceability, or upgrade requirements. Those PCB item

10、s that are out of compliance with 40 CFR 761 regulations should be removed, retrofilled, or replaced as Level 1 environmental compliance projects.

14、tion of this Model. Assign values of 1, 5, 1 O, or 1 O0 to each of the five factors listed below for each PCB item (liquid PCB items only) on your installation or Govemment- OwnedContractor-Operated (GOCO) faciiity based on the individual factor descriptions. The product of the five factor values as

15、signed to any PCB item may be used in priori- tization of the item for removal or replacement including PCB incineration under the Air Force pollution prevention program element. Note that funding priority is not determined by the prioritization model. An example of a spreadsheet to record the assig

16、ned values is provided in Figure 1. Factor 1, PCB Level (PL). PCB level refers to the concentration and type of fill fluid contained in the PCB item. Top priority is given to the removal of items with pure PCB fluid such as Askarel, items with a high concentration of PCBs, and Askarel units that hav

17、e been retrofilled.2r dielectric fluids.

18、 parts per million PCB; or, Askarel units; or, Askarel units that have been retrofilled (any concentration of PCBs in dielectric fluid) Factor 2, Transformer Loading (TL). Transformer loading refers to the average daily loading4 as a percent f nameplate capacity of transformers in service to provide

19、 electrical power. Priority is given to transfomers with high loading because this condition PCB elimination projects should dispose of PCBs and PCB-contaminated wastes by incineration in an EPA approved facility. For transformer carcasses and similar components, the term incineration as used here m

20、eans the complete destruction of PCBs with recycling of reusable metals. Components of PCB items shall be cleaned so that residual PCB levels are less than 1 O micrograms per 1 O0 square centimeters. In the case of units manufactured with mineral oil fill and having PCB contamination of 5000 parts p

21、er million or less, retrofill may be considered as an altemative to removal or replacement with total destruction by incineration. Because of the tendency of PCBs to leach out of transformer parts and surfaces into replacement dielectric fluids, units originally filled with Askarel fluid should not

22、be retrofilled, regardless of current PCB concentration. Units in poor or marginal condition, as discussed under Factor 3, should be removed and replaced rather than retrofilled. Additionally, pole-mounted transformers should be removed and replaced rather than retrofiiled. Removal of retrofilled As

23、karel items is given equal priority because: (a) of their greater susceptibility to leaks; and (b) leaks result in the release of both PCBs and perchloroethylene used as a cleaning agent and replacement dielectric fluid for Askarel in the retrofilling process and subject to strict controls for expos

To achieve normal service life, a transformer should have had oil testing on an annual basis (see AFJMAN 32-1 082, Facilities Engineering Electrical Exterior Facilities)

29、. Oil reclamation should have been performed on the transformer when this testing showed oil decay products. If this has not been done, the transformer should be considered in poor condition.
