Feed air

  • Compressed feed air supply must be less than 40⁰C before it reaches the PSA Generator.

  • Pressure dew point of feed air ≤+3⁰C.

  • The feed air quality must comply with ISO specification 8573-1:2010 class 2.4.1.

NOTE:

The PSA generators are designed to operate at a peak cycle pressure of 6.0 to 7.0 bar(g) and deliver 99% pure nitrogen when supplied with a minimum feed air pressure of 7.0 bar(g). An increase of the cycle pressure to more than 7.0 bar(g) results in higher feed air consumption and lower generation efficiency.

For 12,5 bar versions of PSA generator are designed to operate at a peak cycle pressure of 10-12,2 bar(g). Minimum feed air pressure must not be less than stated by manufacturer. An increase of the cycle pressure to more than stated in Design Review Certificate results in higher feed air consumption and lower generation efficiency.

The PSA generator can run higher peak cycle pressure, but only after special modification from OXYMAT.

For operation at lower cycle pressures and/or higher flow rates, a slight modification is required. Please contact your OXYMAT representative for assistance.3 Nitrogen generator system parts and controls

3.1 Basic process flow description of nitrogen generator system

The Nitromat nitrogen PAS generator is designed to accept compressed air at 6.0 – 10.0 bar(g) into its filter assembly. 12,5 bar(g) version accept compressed feed air at 10-12 bar(g). The supplied compressed feed air must be filtered through an air-conditioning system consisting of water drain filter, refrigeration air dryer pre-and micro filtration units, all filtration units must be equipped with automatic drain valves for removing water and oil. The pre-filter (if present) and micro filter removes condensed water and oil, dirt, scale, etc., and the coalescing filter removes oil vapour (oil aerosols).

The normal process flow of air through the unit is shown in picture 2 below. After exiting the filter, the compressed air is regulated down to 6 – 7 bar(g). For 12,5 bar version it is regulated down to 10 - 12 bar(g) and then directed by pneumatic activated valves into one of two absorber columns containing molecular sieve, unless specially modified by Oxymat to another pressure. Molecular sieve has the unique property that it physically attracts or adsorbs oxygen from the air, leaving the nitrogen to pass through to the product tank, and can when saturated with oxygen be regenerated to clean sieve again by purging with nitrogen under lower pressure conditions.

The PSA generator unit consist of two absorber columns working in alternate operation, e.g. the processes always runs in antiphrasis to one another in such way, that one absorber column with cleaned sieve delivers nitrogen, while the other absorber column regenerates saturated sieve. After a certain present period, the processes shifts, so that the first absorber column now regenerates saturated sieve, while the second is delivering nitrogen through a cleaned sieve. The nitrogen from the absorber column is stored in the product tank. After the product tank the pressure is regulated to 0 – 6 bar(g) depending upon the consumer’s specific working pressure. See picture 3 for more detailed information on the working process.


2-Column nitrogen PSA generator

The pressure drop ∆P on the accumulated nitrogen delivery must not exceed 0.5 bar(g).

Normal Process Sequence per column:

  1. Pressurization and nitrogen delivery.

  1. Pressure equalization (decreasing pressure).

  1. Exhaust and purge with nitrogen (pressure drop causes oxygen release from sieve).

  1. Pressure equalization.


HP-nitrogen PSA generator

  • Equalization by HP nitrogen PSA generator is performed in two sequences, where pressure in the depressurized column is built up slowly by purging from pressurized column in 2 steps. Exhaust from pressurized column is made without further equalization to counter-column.

The absorbers column contains molecular sieve that concentrates nitrogen from air.

  1. Control Cabinet

The cabinet contains all sensors, PLC, HMI and electrical parts.

  1. Cycle Pressure Gauge

Indicate absorber column pressure during the unit cycles. Pressure is controlled by the feed air pressure regulator, which is set from factory. The gauge is able to read between 0 to 10.0 bar(g). Peak cycle pressure is 6.0 to 7.0 bar(g), unless specially modified by Oxymat to another pressure.

  1. Axial / angle seated valve for equalization of pressure

After the pressurization cycle on each absorber column the equalization valve will open for a period of 10-20 sec. and pressure equalization between the absorber columns will take place.


  1. Axial / angle seated valve for cycle operation

  1. Axial / angle seated valve for delivery of nitrogen to nitrogen receiverThis valve opens while the absorber column is pressurized to deliver nitrogen to the product tank for use.


  1. Feed air pressure regulator (without or with filter)


The regulator controls the feed air pressure to the absorber columns, which need adequate and stable feed air supply. Therefore an air tank is recommended to stabilize the air flow. The feed air pressure should not at any time drop below 7 bar(g) under operation. The feed air pressure regulator controls the inlet air pressure to 6 – 7 bar(g), unless specially modified by Oxymat to another pressure. If the regulator is without filter - Y strainer before regulator is presented.

The strainer removes rough internal impurities coming from the feed air tank and the pipe system.

  1. Feed air inlet

The feed air inlet is connected to the feed air tank outlet.

  1. Outlet to product tank

Nitrogen product tank and PSA generator are connected to this point. It is important to use the hose or pipe delivered from Oxymat A/S, as the internal dimension is an integrated part of system.

Table 11. Exhaust pipe connections

4.2.2 Air Supply (Feed Air)

Air from your compressor or feed air supply must be less than 40°C, T(O)-max, before it reaches the nitrogen PSA generator. High feed air (operating) temperature will reduce the performance of the nitrogen PSA generator and will cause damage not covered under the manufacturer's warranty. Low feed air (operating) temperatures may cause freezing of components and damage not covered under the manufacturer's warranty.

Warning: The compressor, air tank or other feed air supply and pressurized equipment must be fitted with adequate protective devises to protect against exceeding allowable limits of the concerned equipment e.g. safety relief valves. Feed air supply must be protected against exceeding 10 bar(g) the maximum allowable pressure P(S) for Nitromat nitrogen PSA generators. The safety relief valves on PSA generator columns and product tank (if supplied) are solely for the protection of these components.

The feed air quality must comply with ISO specification 8573-1:2010 class 2.4.1., e.g. maximum number of particles per m³ is as following:

Table 12. Feed air quality

Dew point +3°C & residual water content max. 6 g/m³ and residual oil content max. 0,01 mg/m³.Warning: Use only hoses and pipes of correct size and suitable for operating pressure and fluid. Never use hoses, which are frayed, damaged or worn. Always use the correct type and size of connections. Make sure hoses are depressurized before disconnecting.

The connections of hoses, if used must be are done with high quality connection systems, e.g. a clamp system or compression end fittings depending on the type of hose applied. It is not recommended to use ordinary hose clips.

Important: All hoses and piping must be routed out of harm’s way and secured to prevent accidental pulling of hoses piping or connections.

The hose/piping used to bring air from the compressor to the air tank and from the air tank to the nitrogen PSA generator should be dimensioned to supply the needed feed air flow at a pressure between 6,0 - 10,0 bar(g). By 12,5 bar version: max.12 bar(g). The dimensions must at least be:

Table 13. Air inlet connections


With a properly dimensioned hose/piping1, the feed air pressure must not be less than 6 bar(g) at inlet point during operation. The use of an improperly size of hose/piping will result in reduced nitrogen generating capacity.


It is recommended to have a shut off valve installed where the air inlet hose/piping is connected to the compressed air supply or if present on the air tank to facilitate safe depressurization of the hose/piping before removal of connections.


  1. Max length of hose: 3 meters

4.2.3 Power supply


Warning: The interior of the cabinet contains electrical parts that may produce electrical hazard if not handled properly. To prevent electrical shock, care must be taken when servicing this equipment. In general electrical installation and servicing is to be performed by trained or authorized personnel only.


  1. 110-240V, 50-60Hz, single phase, 1.0A

Proper voltage must be provided to the generator at all times. Maximum fuse on power supply 10A


Improper voltage will cause damage not covered under the manufacturer's warranty. To protect your PLC on the generator Oxymat recommend the use of electrical filters.


  1. Power should be supplied to the unit from a grounded electrical outlet with a 3-prong plug. It is recommended to use a circuit that will not be accidentally turned off, as this will cause the unit to stop cycling. If power supply is off and the unit is being used, the product tank will depressurize.


  1. In order to prevent production stop and purity drop in case of electric power failure, a UPS (power backup) is recommended as an option.

4.3 Installation

Unpacking and handling in general

On receipt of the aggregate, check that the individual parts correspond with those listed on the delivery note.

When unloading, check immediately for possible damage to all parts, such as dents, scratches, corrosion, torn electric cables, bent pipes, or the like. In case of defects or damage, the carrier and supplier shall be informed immediately.

The aggregate shall only be lifted according to suppliers instructions, and in case of compressor/air dryer delivery, special care must be taken to the instructions noted in the compressor/air dryer suppliers manual. In order to avoid squeezing of instruments, piping, etc., use a suitable lifting device.

Warning: The PSA generator columns must be pressurized to protect the sieves from ambient moisture.

Placement of aggregate:

Place all the main parts in their final positions on hard, plane and level surfaces. Make sure that sufficient space between parts is available for maintenance and inspection. Up-line the parts to proper horizontal and vertical positions and anchor all parts to the concrete floor by means of anchor bolts or like.

Warning: Exhaust gas from the nitrogen PSA generator can contains more than 30 % oxygen and can be oxidizing. Exhaust gas must be led by piping or ducts piped out of the room to the outdoor atmospheric air. Failure to do this may cause serious damage, injury or death. The room where the PSA generator is located must always be well ventilated.

  • OPTIONAL - For on-line back-up or surge needs, we recommend that backup nitrogen is connected directly on the nitrogen outlet pipe (through a check valve), and that the pressure on the backup nitrogen is approximately 0.3 kg/cm2 below the regulator setting on the nitrogen PSA generator.

Warning: Make sure that your back-up/emergency nitrogen supply is installed with a nitrogen pressure regulator, the pressure must be max. 7.0 bar(g), unless specially modified by Oxymat to higher pressure. Check valves must be fitted on both backup nitrogen supply and nitrogen outlet from product tank.

Very important: Check all fittings for leak using a suitable leak detecting fluid.

Make all the installations and note the cautions mentioned above.

Configuration: New or existing - compressor, air dryer, coal tower with oil mist absorber, feed air tank; new nitrogen PSA generator; new or existing product tank, high pressure compressor


1.1 For the compressor installation – follow the instructions in the compressor supplier’s manual – read this manual before installation!!!

1.2 Connect air hose/pipe from compressor outlet to air dryer inlet

1.3 Connect air hose/pipe from air dryer outlet via the pre-filter and the micro-filter (new or existing) to the inlet port at the top of the coal tower.

1.4 Connect the coal tower (oil mist absorber) equipped with a second micro-filter to the inlet of air tank. The coal tower inlet is placed on top of the tower, and the outlet is placed at the bottom of the tower

  • If the delivery includes a separate air tank, the coal tower is placed between the air dryer and air tank.

  • If the air tank is an integrated part of the compressor, the coal tower location is after the air tank, and the auto drain valve is in this case placed on the side of the air tank instead of the bottom of the tank

  • 1.5 Connect air hose/pipe from bottom of coal tower to the bottom of the air tank.

1.6 Connect air hose/pipe from an upper port on air tank to inlet of PSA generator.

1.7 Connect nitrogen hose/pipe from PSA generator outlet to the nitrogen product tank bottom valve

1.8 Also connect your nitrogen application/consumption to the pressure regulator on top of the product tank

1.9 In case we have high pressure compressor, connect nitrogen hose/pipe from product tank to high pressure compressor. Always check type of connection to high pressure compressor before installation.

Very important: Inspect every piece of safety device for defects, correct installation and function.

Very important: Installation connections between supplied parts and existing equipment follow sizing instructions.Optional drain system might be available.

5 Operation

5.1 Initial start-up procedure

To start the nitrogen PSA generator for the first time, follow the steps below:

  1. Remove transport brackets at the air dryer (if present).

  2. Turn on the power supply to the air dryer (if present).

  3. Allow the refrigeration air dryer temperature to stabilize at the pre-set value +3°C

  4. Remove transport brackets at the compressor (if present).


  1. Turn on the power supply to the compressor (if present).

  2. Make sure, that all shut off valves between the plant items are open


  1. Let the compressor keep running and observe that the compressor shifts to unloaded operation, when the compressor pressure has reached the pressure stop set point.


  1. Carefully and gentle open for feed air supply to the PSA generator.

  2. Turn on the electric power supply to the PSA generator.

  3. Switch the mode selector to manual position.

  4. Ensure that the drain system works properly by checking, that exhaust air appears from the drain water outlet for about 1.5 second every 5 minutes.


  1. Be aware that air and condensate might be exhausted automatically from compressor and air dryer during start up – this is not a mal function.

  2. Shut off the nitrogen application/consumption and prepare for Leak test:


    1. Let the plant run in manual mode, until the nitrogen product tank pressure reaches a minimum of 5 bar(g).


    1. Turn the mode selector switch to stop/off, and the PSA generator will stop after a little while, when the actual operation cycle is completed.


    1. Shut off the feed air supply.

    2. If fitted with purity monitoring probe close of the pressure reduction valve on probe inlet.

    3. Read and note the pressure P1 in nitrogen product tank, column 1, column 2 and air tank.


    1. Let the plant stand still (rest) and isolated in pressurized condition for an hour.


    1. After an hour read and note the pressure P2 in nitrogen product tank, column 1, column 2 and air tank.


    1. Then determine an eventually pressure drop as the difference between P1 and P2 for each component.


    1. The Leak test is OK, if the pressure drop after one hour pressurized isolation is less than 0.1 bar(g). In case of leaks they must not cause more than 0.1 bar(g) pressure drop per hour.


    1. Reset the pressure reduction valve on probe inlet.

  1. To obtain the design purity in nitrogen product tank purge the tank with nitrogen as follows:

    1. Check that nitrogen consumption is closed off.

    2. Open up for flow from feed air supply/compressor.

    3. Start the feed air supply/compressor.


    1. Start the PSA generator and let it run for about 15 minutes.


    1. Check that pressure in nitrogen product tank reaches the value stated in Design Review Certificate.


    1. Open for nitrogen consumption. Adjust flow to approximately to 50 % of design flow (refer to Design Review Certificate).


    1. Let the PSA generator run in manual mode until design purity is reached. Duration 0.5 - 8 hours depending on purity and capacity.

    1. When design purity is reached close off nitrogen consumption switch PSA generator to auto mode and let the PSA generator run until it stops automatic. This should occur within 10 minutes. If the PSA generator does not stop as described refer to section for pressure set point procedure.

  1. At the end of this period, observe the feed air pressure gauge and the cycle pressure gauge on the PSA generator for at least 5 complete cycles, to make sure that the PSA generator starts and stops within the allowable limits, as follows:

    1. Observe that the feed air pressure should be no less than 7.0 bar(g) unless stated otherwise by manufacture.

    1. Observe that the peak cycle pressure should not increase above 7.0 bar(g) unless stated otherwise by manufacture (Design Review Certificate).

  1. Now the plant is ready for normal operation.

For X-version repeat procedure for all PSA separately.

Important: When the PSA generator is being started up for the first time, or after a long shut-down period, it is possible that the nitrogen product tank is full of air. Before the PSA generator can supply nitrogen of design purity, any air in the nitrogen product tank must be purged.

Purge / delivery function

in case that purity control is delivered, purge/delivery functions as follow:

Purging starts if level of oxygen in product is higher than level set in start purge parameter. Pressure in product tank has to be higher than pressure set in min. purge pressure parameter. During purging purge valve is opened and delivery valve is closed. If pressure in product tank drops below value set in min. purge pressure parameter purge valve is closed and also delivery valve is still closed. If level of oxygen in product drops below level set in start purge parameter, purge valve is closed and delivery valve is opened.

Warning: Always vent nitrogen outdoor. Nitrogen concentrations higher than 78 % in the air can without warning cause serious personal injury or death.

Product purity (N2) – indicate the purity in the product tank. The purity is controlled by purity alarm. If the purity level drops below the alarm settings, an alarm is executed. If the purity level drops below the purity stop settings, then the PSA will perform a controlled stop.

Product gas quality – please consider, that Oxymat is choosing most suitable filters to reach required product gas quality. If filters are supplied by another supplier, Oxymat cannot guarantee product gas quality.

5.2 Operation

The Nitromat nitrogen PSA generator can operate in either auto or manual mode or can be in stand-by mode. The operation mode is selected on the mode selector switch.

 Refer to touch screen control manual.5.3 Shut-Down


1 Turn of nitrogen application/consumption

Close off central nitrogen application/consumption. This will insure that the nitrogen product tank is full the next day even if a nitrogen discharge valve is left open.

Ensure that the mode selector switch is in the AUTO position, and wait until the PSA generator stops cycling. This allows the product tank to fill completely with nitrogen for immediate use required. It also allows the unit to shut down at the proper point in the cycle.

NOTE: Failure to wait or immediate or accidental stop of operation during a cycle will result in temporary lower nitrogen purity during subsequent use.

2 Turn off Power

  • Turn the selector switch to stand-by position.

  • Turn off the compressor power switch (if present).

  • Turn off the air dryer power switch (if present)

  • Turn off the PSA generator power switch


5.4 Normal Start-up

  • Turn on the air dryer power supply (if present) and run the dryer.

  • Allow the refrigeration air dryer temperature to stabilize at the pre-set value +3°C

  • Turn on the compressor power supply (if present), or open for the central compressed feed air supply.

  • Observe that the feed air pressure is above the minimum pressure requirements.

  • Turn on the power supply to the nitrogen PSA generator.

  • Turn the mode selector switch in manual position.

  • Observe that the drains are working

  • Observe that the peak cycle pressure do not excess the value stated Design Review Certificate.

  • Turn the mode selector switch in auto position.

  • After a while observe that the PSA generator automatically stops, when the nitrogen product tank pressure reaches pressure set point stop, stated by manufacture in Design Review Certificate.

  • Further observe that the PSA generator automatically re-starts after about 0.5 pressure drop. If the generator does not starts or stops like this refer to section for pressure set point procedure and adjustment.

To shut down the Nitromat nitrogen PSA generator for 24 hours or longer, complete all steps in Section –

Shutdown. In addition perform the following:

Fully close all manual valves to isolate the nitrogen in the nitrogen product tank, to prevent the loss of pressure in the nitrogen product tank, in order to enable a normal start-up. Turn off all electric powers, e.g. on compressor, air dryer and generator.

Keep columns pressurized and sealed to protect contained sieve against ambient moisture.

If PSA generator is fitted with purity monitoring probe, close of the pressure reduction valve on probe inlet.

5.6 Start-up after an Extended Shut-Down

After an extended shutdown or an unexpected shutdown, such as an electric power failure, you must purge the nitrogen product tank of any low purity nitrogen before the nitrogen PSA generator can supply nitrogen within the purity specifications.

To purge the nitrogen product tank, follow step 14 in section – Initial start-up procedure.

7 Troubleshooting

Most common operation failure is insufficient nitrogen purity due to inadequate flow rate (capacity) caused by too heavy leakage or other capacity problems. If a purity problem occurs, it is strongly recommended at once to uncover these eventually problems before any other initiative are taken – so follow the Route Diagram shown below:

7.1 Leak test procedure

  1. Shut off the nitrogen application/consumption.

  2. Let the plant run in manual mode, until the nitrogen product tank pressure reaches a minimum of 5 bar.

  1. Turn the mode selector switch to stand-by/off, and the PSA generator will stop after a little while, when the actual operation cycle is completed.

  1. Shut off the feed air supply.

  1. If coal tower is installed, close of oil indication tube. If fitted with purity monitoring probe close of the pressure reduction valve on probe inlet.

  2. Read and note the pressure P1 in nitrogen product tank, column 1, column 2 and air tank.

  1. Let the plant stand still (rest) and isolated in pressurized condition for an hour.

  1. After an hour read and note the pressure P2 in nitrogen product tank, column 1, column 2 and air tank.

  2. Then determine an eventually pressure drop as the difference between P1 and P2 for each component.

  3. The Leak test is OK, if the pressure drop after one hour pressurized isolation is less than 0.1 bar. In case of leaks they must not cause more than 0.1 bar pressure drop per hour.


  1. If closed open for coal tower oil indication tube and reset the pressure reduction valve on probe inlet to 1.0 bar

7.2 Air regulator adjustment procedure

  1. Unlock lock on adjustment knob.

  1. To increase pressure turn clockwise.

  2. To decrease pressure turn counter clockwise.

  3. Make small adjustments and let system cycle through one cycle before making another adjustment.

  4. If readings are still incorrect, make another adjustment until you are within manufacturer's specifications stated in Design Review Certificate.

7.3 Capacity test procedure

  1. Close the shut off valve between the PSA generator and the nitrogen product tank.

  2. Read and note the pressure in the nitrogen product tank – called the starting pressure: P1 (bar).

  1. Rapidly open the shut off valve between the nitrogen product tank and the nitrogen application/consumption and rapidly close it again after exactly one minute. This will achieve the real and exact consumption for a one minute period.

  1. Now read and note the final pressure P2 (bar).

  2. Determine the capacity by using the formula: (P1 – P2) x (Volume of nitrogen product tank in litres) = capacity in litres per minute. Check the result with the stated capacity in the Design Review Certificate.  

7.4 Pressure set point procedure

The pressure in the nitrogen product tank controls start and stop of PSA generator in auto mode.


  1. Determination the nitrogen product tank peak pressure P1:

    1. Switch PSA generator to manual mode

    2. Shut off nitrogen consumption.


    1. Let the PSA generator run for 10 minutes or more.


    1. Read and note the maximum nitrogen product tank pressure during this period. This is the peak pressure P1.

  1. Calculating stop set point pressure and restart hysteresis set point:


    1. Calculate the stop set point pressure P2 by subtracting 0.05 bar from peak pressure P1.


    1. P2 = P1 - 0.05.

    2. The hysteresis set point (normal value 0.5 bar) controls when the PSA generator restarts.


Example: Measured peak pressure P1: 6.50 bar


Stop set point pressure P2 = P1 - 0.05 = 6.50 - 0.05 = 6.45 bar


With hysteresis set to 0.5 bar the PSA generator will restart when the pressure in nitrogen product tank has decreased 0.5 bar. Restart at = P2 - 0.50 = 6.45 - 0.50 = 5.95 bar


How this start and stop process is adjusted and controlled depends on PSA generator control system type. The above mentioned nitrogen product tank pressures must be read out and adjusted according to system. For PSA generators equipped with small or large touch screen control system refer to the control system manuals in attached CD.

7.5 Probe Check and Calibration

Nitromat nitrogen PSA generators with control system have a probe for monitoring the purity of produced nitrogen.

Procedure for checking the probe depends on the type of probe fitted.

See probe type on information label inside control panel.

If present the probe module is placed in the lower control cabinet.

Zirconium probes:

Warning: The entire probe module and especially the heater block can get very hot. Touching these parts may cause burns. The module can still be very hot even after the module has been turned off. Always wait for at least 30 minutes before touching the module.

Important:

  • Do not touch the sensor’s ceramic probe.

  • Do not blow cold air or gas onto the sensor when it is warm.

  • Do not bend or tear the twisted steel pipe.


  • The measuring gas must be pure and dry. Use a filter on the ingoing gas if needed.


For further detailed information – see separate Control system manual and Sensor manual as separate file.

7.6 Purging procedure

To obtain the design purity in nitrogen product tank purge the tank with nitrogen as follows:

  1. Check that nitrogen consumption is closed off.


  1. Open up for flow from feed air supply/compressor.

  2. Start the feed air supply/compressor.

  3. Start the PSA generator and let it run for about 15 minutes.


  1. Check that pressure in nitrogen product tank reaches the value stated in Design Review Certificate.


  1. Open for nitrogen consumption. Adjust flow to approximately to 50 % of design flow (refer to Design Review Certificate).


  1. Let the PSA generator run in manual mode until design purity is reached. Duration 0.5 - 8 hours depending on purity and capacity.


  1. When design purity is reached close off nitrogen consumption switch PSA generator to auto mode and let the PSA generator run until it stops automatic. This should occur within 10 minutes. If the PSA generator does not stop as described refer to section for pressure set point procedure.


8 Scrapping

8.1 Dismounting

By the time when the equipment is no longer in use - dismount as follows:

  • Disconnect, remove and collect all wires into a wire scrap pile

  • Dismount, remove and collect all electronics into an electronics scrap pile

  • Disconnect, remove and collect all hoses and other plastics into a plastic scrap pile

  • Empty absorber columns from the molecular sieve, and fill it into bags.

  • Dismount all pipes and sort all metal parts into steel or Cu scrap piles.

  • Collect all organic, flammable materials into a separate scrap pile.

Dispose the different categories of waste in a via designated collection facilities appointed by the government or local authorities according to local regulations. Correct disposal and recycling will help preventing potential negative consequences to the environment and human health.

8.2 Disposal

The molecular sieve is a nontoxic organic material, which can be disposed along with the rest of sorted scrap.

However the disposal must be done according to national and local laws and rules.
