Refrigerant regeneration and recovery

About the Service

Reclamation and management of refrigerants help find applications for substances recovered from refrigeration and air-conditioning systems. This allows the reused refrigerant to be used again, and if this is not possible – to be treated as waste in accordance with applicable regulations and with the highest safety standards.

How can refrigerants be managed?

The PROZON Foundation offers three methods of managing recovered refrigerants:

  1. 1
    Refrigerant reclamation – instead of disposing of used refrigerant gas, we clean it and restore its original properties.
  2. 2
    Refrigerant purchase – we accept all refrigerants from the HFC, HFO groups and their blends.
  3. 3
    Refrigerant waste management – since refrigerants from the HCFC and CFC groups are considered waste, we offer their free processing and disposal.

 

What is refrigerant reclamation?

The process of refrigerant reclamation is based on reprocessing recovered fluorinated greenhouse gases. Its goal is to achieve parameters that correspond to the working properties of the original substance. Because the reclaimed refrigerant regains the same characteristics it had initially, this process allows it to be reused.

How does it work? First, we safely recover the refrigerant from the device into a dedicated cylinder. Next, we conduct advanced purification at our Reclamation Center, removing all contaminants. The prepared refrigerant is then subjected to laboratory testing to confirm that it meets AHRI 700 standards. As a result, you receive a refrigerant of new-product quality, confirmed by a quality certificate.

Good to know

  1. 1
    Regeneration time depends on the amount of refrigerant being regenerated and ranges from 0 to 21 days.
  2. 2
    Admixtures above 1% — such refrigerants are treated as CFC, HCFC, HC, and HFC mixtures and are subject to disposal/management procedures.
  3. 3
    We settle based on 90% of net mass — statistically, around 10% consists of contaminants (oil, water, solids, non-condensable substances, high-boiling-point substances, and others), which we separate out during the regeneration process.

What are the benefits of refrigerant regeneration?

The regeneration process removes all contaminants and unwanted additives from the refrigerant, including oil, non-condensable gases, acids, water, and chlorides that entered the substance during previous use. The benefits of regeneration can be divided into three main categories:



Environmental

Refrigerant regeneration helps reduce emissions of greenhouse gases that drive climate change and deplete the ozone layer. It also reduces the need to produce new refrigerants, cutting down on refrigerant waste.



Technical

The purified refrigerant meets the quality standards of a new product, so your equipment runs just as efficiently — even if it uses a refrigerant that has already been withdrawn from the market.



Economic

Instead of buying new refrigerant, you save by reusing recovered and regenerated material. What’s more, we can buy back your recovered refrigerant, giving you an additional profit.

We are the only organization in Poland offering such a comprehensive refrigerant and refrigerant-blend regeneration service. Our experience and facilities guarantee that the service is carried out professionally and in line with current regulations. Use our service today, and let’s take care of the environment together!

When to Use the Service?

When is it worth using the refrigerant reclamation and management service? The most common situations include:



  • Service or repair – when a refrigeration or air-conditioning unit is being serviced and the refrigerant must be recovered for the duration of the repair.


  • Modernisation or replacement – when dismantling an old refrigeration or air-conditioning system, releasing the refrigerant into the atmosphere is prohibited. Instead, it must be recovered into a cylinder. You can deliver such a substance to us, and we will ensure its safe management.


  • Equipment disposal – when permanently decommissioning a refrigeration unit or air conditioner, it still contains refrigerant that must be removed.

If any of the situations above applies to you – contact us. We will advise you on how to best manage the refrigerant or assist with its reclamation. Take advantage of our services – protecting the environment pays off!
