AES, a local environmental company, hired Quantum
Technology to decommissioning data center in the
Blue Cross building in Wayne PA.  Quantum bought
the generators, switchgear, UPS systems, AC
systems and all of the data center assets.  We
used the revenue from the equipment to offset the
cost of decommission.

Project Details The generator enclosure was
oversized which is frequent. Quantum supplied
crane, riggers and trucking. Quantum drained the
diesel fuel and recycled it. The FM-200 tanks
have small explosive devices on them called
actuators. Quantum crew is trained to de-activate
these before the tanks are disconnected. Liebert
ACs and UPSs that are later model and well
maintained can be easier resold through Quantums
nationwide network of buyers.  Old units might be
broken down for parts. The UPS batteries were
recycled. The Switchgear at Blue Cross was custom
built, and could not be sold as one unit, so the
breakers were sold separately, and the rest was
recycled.
