Energy-Air-conditioning

This activity includes power production plants and air-conditioning stations for all CNES/CSG sites. The main ones are at the Technical Centre at the EPCU, at the ELA and at remote stations (Galliot, Leblond, Montabo).

* Pollution:              

  - air-conditioning: use of freon, a refrigerating fluid, which destroys the ozone layer

 + risk of spillage of oils from air-conditioning plants

 - electric generators: outgassing (CO2, SO2, etc.), risk of oil and diesel fuel leaks

* Procedures introduced:

- recovery of freons

- collection and treatment of industrial products and waste

- retaining tanks under the electric generators and under the tanks where the diesel fuel is

  stored; rejects sent into a hydrocarbon separator

- retaining tanks under the oil transformers
