AL Waleed Refrigerants Gas Industry provides Recovery and Reclaim. As you are aware of these processes but here is the brief once again how it works : The recovery and reclaim of refrigerants are crucial practices in the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) industry. These processes are essential for minimizing environmental impact and adhering to regulatory standards. 1. Refrigerant Recovery: What It Is: Refrigerant recovery involves removing refrigerant from an HVAC system before maintenance or decommissioning. This step is necessary to avoid releasing harmful substances into the atmosphere, particularly those that can damage the ozone layer or contribute to climate change. How It’s Done: System Shutdown: The HVAC system is powered down. Connecting the Recovery Machine: A recovery machine is attached to the system to extract the refrigerant. Storing the Refrigerant: The recovered refrigerant is placed in a recovery cylinder for storage, recycling, or disposal. 2. Refrigerant Reclaim: What It Is: Refrigerant reclaiming is the process of cleaning and restoring the recovered refrigerant to a level of purity that meets the standards for new refrigerant. This typically involves removing contaminants such as oil, moisture, and acids. How It’s Done: Initial Testing: The refrigerant is analyzed to detect contaminants and moisture levels. Purification Process: The refrigerant undergoes filtration, drying, and purification. Certification: The purified refrigerant is tested to ensure it meets industry standards, such as AHRI Standard 700. Reusing the Refrigerant: The reclaimed refrigerant is then ready for reuse in HVAC systems. 3. Why It Matters: Environmental Protection: Prevents the release of hazardous refrigerants into the environment. Regulatory Adherence: Assists businesses in complying with environmental laws and avoiding penalties. Cost Savings: Reusing reclaimed refrigerant can be more economical than purchasing new refrigerant. Resource Conservation: Helps reduce the demand for new refrigerant production, preserving natural resources. For those working in HVAC, both refrigerant recovery and reclaim are vital practices to ensure environmental stewardship and operational effectiveness. #alwaleed #hvac #refrigerant #desposablerefrigerants #refillablerefrigerants #reclaim #recovery #refrigerant #usabrandrefrigerant #refrigerantexport #refrigerantsupplier #supplyrefrigerantkuwait #angolarefrigerantexport #gccrefrigerant #menarefrigerant #r134acontainer #r22container #bestcontainerprice #971504046412 #0504046412 #contactwestron #westron #westronrefrigerant #eliwell #r32 #r410a #r404a #r407c #r507a #r141b #r152a #r227ea #r448

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recently introduced a set of regulations that will significantly impact the HVAC industry.

☁️😎Air quality awareness for National Clean Air Month — learn about industrial dust collection and about your local air quality! May marks National Clean Air Month in the US, an opportunity to consider air quality in our communities. When thinking about air quality, particularly in industrial settings, companies take many steps to keep particulates and dust from polluting the air both inside and outside a facility. Dust collection is one way for companies to clean their air in industrial settings. Processes handling dry materials commonly produce dust or particulates that can become suspended in the air. The presence of these dusts often requires using a dust collector to maintain air quality, clean air contaminated with process-generated dust, and ensure overall plant cleanliness and safety are preserved. Dust collectors draw dirty air from processes such as material transport, mixing, and other dust-generating activities. The typical dust collector is designed with internal filters or with a cyclonic shape to separate the dust from air, collecting the dust and then releasing the cleaned air. Dust not only contaminates air, but many workers in the process and manufacturing industries know that it can also pose a fire or explosion hazard due to how ignitable many types of dust can be, particularly when suspended in the air. This ignition risk means that dust collectors have an important role in safety — not only in cleaning air, but also in collecting and containing combustible dust. CV Technology has been protecting dust collectors from fire and explosion risk for nearly 30 years by using fire and explosion protection solutions developed specifically to prevent or mitigate incidents combustible dust incidents. Once the air-dust mixture has been cleaned using an industrial-grade dust collector that’s properly protected for safe operation, the air released from the filtration process is once again safe for the workers and operators present in processing plants. While industry regulations for clean air in many locales have been required for decades, the current standards for many toxic or harmful emissions may mean that certain plant emissions must be minimized or fully eliminated. Dust collectors and other air cleaning equipment, such as wet scrubbers help meet standards and maintain clean air for workers and surrounding communities. Air quality is a shared responsibility by all, so learning about how industry strives to maintain air quality and understanding more about your local air quality is valuable information. The American Lung Association offers a “State of the Air” report that compiles air quality monitoring data from all over the US – learn about your area’s air here: https://lnkd.in/dUNRmvQ.

So with all of this talk about #GreenWashing there is a big area that I feel we need to discuss, and call out. And this is, buildings that have only had planning permission approved, because they were going to install certain equipment such as CHPs. And they have never run a day after commissioning. Recently I surveyed a large government building, that has 2 massive #CHP (Combined Heat & Power) and apart from their commissioning run hours they have been turned off ever since! This is extremely common. They were installed in 2014!!! Normally, an asset that is 20 years old looks old, even if it has had maintenance carried out. But these are still box-fresh! A lot of money was spent installing them, and planning permission would have been granted on the basis that these were being installed with benefits detailed. But who checks on them post-completion to make sure that they are being used. Its easy to check. Take a reading of the run hours & Gas consumption at each inspection. Fine buildings that don't use the equipment they were required to install so they could build the buildings. What assets have you seen that would have been installed to get planning permission but then never used??? As always...
