Decommissioning Your Industrial Generator

Decommissioning an industrial generator is an important part of removing a used generator from your facility.

If you have a used industrial generator you no longer need, you might wonder how to get rid of it. After all, it’s not like simply throwing away an old desk or a piece of chewing gum. Due to the size, weight, and complexity of generators, you need specialized services to remove the generator from your facility. This is also known as decommissioning. This article explores some general information about decommissioning industrial and commercial generators. 

What is Decommissioning for an Industrial Generator?

Decommissioning is the term used for disconnecting an industrial generator from the electrical system in a building. Generator decommissioning can be quite a complex process, as you must remove various wires, equipment, as well as any diesel in the tank. 

It’s crucial to properly decommission generators you no longer use. This means you need an expert to perform decommissioning services. Improper disconnection can be extremely hazardous. For instance, incorrect decommissioning can increase the risk for electric shock and other injuries. Also, incorrectly uninstalling your industrial or commercial generator can cause significant damage to your building’s electrical infrastructure. Therefore, to properly decommission your facility’s generator, you need help from an experienced professional. 

However, it’s important to keep in mind that disposing of an industrial generator can be tricky. We mentioned the size and weight of generators, which makes them difficult to remove from the facility. It’s also important to note that generators often have various materials that are considered hazardous waste by most municipalities. Incorrect disposal of these components can create legal trouble and lead to fines from your local municipality. What’s more, disposing of a used generator can be expensive

Instead, consider selling your used generator to us to avoid these hassles and dangers.
