In 2020, all cooling equipment that utilize R-22 refrigerants are expected to be totally phased out. The clock is ticking fast because in just a matter of three years, R-22 refrigerants should all be eradicated. This is being done to meet the agreements defined in the Montreal Protocol which calls for a ban on chemicals and substances that have been proven to be damaging to the environment.
Ideally, the protocol mandates that the U.S. should have reduced its R-22 consumption by 90% in January 1, 2015. Although the EPA continues to strictly implement the guidelines on R-22 consumption, and has so far done a good job in doing so, a number of industrial users are still using and in possession of this type of refrigerant.
If you are a commercial business looking to transition out of refrigerants soon to be phased out, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us so we can discuss your options for recovery and removal. Not only are these procedures extremely delicate, they also come with risks of contamination and other health hazards. Undoubtedly, it is highly advisable that you work with professionals who are trained and licensed for the job. It is also important to note that the illegal and unauthorized recovery and disposal of R-22 refrigerants are considered federal offences.
Now is the time to transition to a more environmentally-friendly and EPA-approved refrigerant. While this may seem like a costly and daunting task, we offer a myriad of programs to make it easier for you. Our refrigerant reclamation program makes converting to a new system more convenient. We also have a refrigerant buyback and clean exchange program meant to assuage your transitioning burdens.
Our company, Refrigerant Services LLC, takes pride in being an EPA-certified team that is highly-trained in the recovery of used, contaminated or even burnt refrigerants. What’s more, all our equipment have passed the highest industry standards.
What is refrigerant reclamation?
Reclamation is the reprocessing of used refrigerants to meet or exceed purity specifications and standards for new refrigerant gases. The reprocessing includes filtering, drying, distillation and other chemical procedures that remove impurities. After undergoing through all these extensively, the refrigerants can then be used for consumer or industrial applications. Reclaimed refrigerants can also be resold. It is crucial that refrigerant reclamation only be performed by an EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer. Along with reclamation services, we also offer extensive and detailed documentation in accordance with EPA regulations.
What is our buy-back program?
Under our buy-back program, we recover used, contaminated or even burnt refrigerants and pay you for them. With this hassle-free program we give you several options: we either give you back good-as-new refrigerants, buy it from you, or exchange it for another EPA-approved type of refrigerant.
When recovering your refrigerants, we make sure to squeeze every last bit of remaining refrigerant while removing contaminants which may still be present in them. This is our way of making sure that you get the highest value for your refrigerants.
Additionally, we work quickly and efficiently so that your daily business operations are not interrupted nor hampered. To avoid accidents like leaks and even wastes, we separate the refrigerant from the contaminants using leading-edge technology to ensure that we extract the highest purity and volume possible.
What is our clean exchange program?
Our clean exchange program enables you to swap your expired or otherwise useless refrigerant containers with clean, up-to-date and DOT certified cylinders. We handle all kinds of cylinders ranging from full to empty and we retrieve even those that have expired. Not only that, we pay you for every drop of refrigerant that we can recover from them. We are well-equipped to handle containers of all sizes starting from 30 pounds to as much as 125 pounds. Our operation takes care of everything from pickup, consolidation and delivery. On top of that, we offer complete and detailed EPA documentation for all clients.
