Lamp Recycling Process

The operating conditions meet even the toughest environmental standards. The entire process is fully automatic and incorporated in a container in which the air is brought to subpressure, thereby preventing mercury from being released into the environment. Exhaust air is constantly discharged through the internal carbon filters. With the aid of a sophisticated patented air transportation system, the phosphor powder is separated in different steps from the by-products. The mercury bearing powder is collected in distiller barrels beneath the cyclone and the self-cleansing dust filters. This mercury bearing powder is then retorted to drive the mercury out of the powder.

At the end of the process the glass, metal end-caps, powder, and mercury can all be re-used.
