Reduction service through investigation, separation, and analysis of fluorescent lamp stabilizers.
Proper separation of PCB waste through investigation and analysis by specialized workers. Significantly reduce disposal costs. We respond to your needs with extensive knowledge and experience.
Fluorescent lamp ballasts that have been in use for over 40 years may contain highly toxic PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls). The PCB Special Measures Law, revised in 2016, mandates the disposal of PCBs within a specified timeframe. Violations of this obligation can result in improvement orders, penalties, and enforcement actions. The disposal cost for ballasts containing high concentrations of PCBs is quite expensive, approximately 100,000 yen per unit. Rijen will have specialized workers conduct a thorough investigation and assessment of the PCB content in the ballasts that customers are using and storing, utilizing their extensive sorting knowledge and skills. We will disassemble ballasts that contain PCBs as much as possible and properly separate waste by concentration, significantly reducing disposal costs for our customers. We also handle all the complicated tasks involved in registering with JESCO, a facility for high-concentration PCB treatment, including leakage prevention measures at the work site, coordination with disposal and collection transport companies, and administrative reporting to local governments, all in a one-stop service. You can trust us to take care of it with peace of mind. Specific costs and schedules will vary depending on the customer's usage and storage conditions, as well as the number of ballasts. The investigation and preliminary estimate proposal are provided free of charge, so please feel free to contact us first.

Detailed information
-
Judgment based on nameplate information We will investigate the PCB content based on the information provided on the nameplate.
-
Disassembly of External Stabilizers Among the PCB-containing stabilizers, external stabilizers will be removed and disassembled. *Old fluorescent lamp stabilizers pose a risk of bursting due to deterioration and leakage of oil containing PCB. Please ensure that the inspection work is carried out by a qualified professional. *Even for external stabilizers, if there are changes in the shape or properties of the capacitors, such as swelling, corrosion, or oil seepage, disassembly is not possible.
-
Analysis Operations The disposal stabilizers are assessed and sorted based on investigations and analyses conducted by highly knowledgeable and skilled specialists. This allows for the strict separation of capacitors (high-concentration PCB waste) that incur high processing costs and residual materials (low-concentration PCB waste).
