I somehow overlooked the comment about "all contaminated components" having already been removed". (Probably because I keyed in on "MOCVD" and assumed contamination was the major issue.) If that's truly the case, disposal should be easy. In our case, we still
had all the gas piping intact and the system was not fully operational. (It had been shut down and abandoned a couple years earlier.) If safety (and hence liability) issues are not a factor, I'm certain a local mechanical contractor or scrapyard will be able
to help you out.

Hello Daniel,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We used RM Mechanical in Boise, Idaho (<a href="http://www.rmmechanical.net/">http://www.rmmechanical.net</a>) and were very happy with them. They were very professional and were able to overcome some significant unexpected difficulties which they encountered
during the operation.</div>

Hi,<br>
<br>
The College of Engineering at the Univ of WI-Madison needs to remove a decommissioned MOCVD tool. As I understand it, the tool has had all the contaminated components removed by our Safety Dept. What is left are the controls, frame, etc..<br>
<br>
The tool is an Aixtron AIX200 s/n 1224 (originally purchased in 1994)<br>
<br>
Does anyone know of a service that would come and remove the tool and dispose of the tool?<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
Dan C<br>
<br>
