Disposal of Hazardous Materials

Centronic has many years experience in the handling and processing of the various materials used in the manufacture of radiation detectors. This includes the use of radioactive and toxic materials in, for example, Geiger Müller Tubes, Ion Chambers, BF3 Counters and Fission Chambers.

The use of such hazardous materials has led to Centronic also having experience of their disposal. As the original manufacturer, Centronic has the ability to dismantle these products and, where necessary, remove hazardous materials in order that they may be disposed of through suitable authorised routes.

We offer a service for dismantling and disposal of products containing such hazardous/toxic materials when they come to the end of their useful life.
