Refrec Reclaim makes light work of recovery
5th June 2025
UK: Beijer Ref’s high-speed Refrec Reclaim refrigerant recovery service has enabled contractor EJM Engineered Systems to recover 1200kg of refrigerant during a coldstore upgrade for a customer in Norfolk.
The installation of a new refrigeration plant at the Thetford facility of temperature-controlled storage and logistics specialist StoreLogs required the removal of almost 1200kg of R434A from the existing equipment.
This was was recovered by Refrec Reclaim and transported to Beijer Ref Refrigerants, where it was cleaned before being returned for on-going service and maintenance of the equipment. The cleaning process removed all contaminants, moisture and non-condensables, and resulted in a yield for the customer of 82%.
EJM MD Paul Cable, explained that the project was on a critical timeline. “The Refrec Reclaim team worked alongside our own engineers and the total refrigerant charge of 1179kg was reclaimed within two days, instead of the 6-7 days it would otherwise have taken.”
Refrec Reclaim is designed to simplify recovery from larger systems by reducing the time contractors need to spend on site, saving them money by increasing the speed at which refrigerant is extracted.
The service is available for single or multiple systems with a charge of more than 100kg of non-flammable A1 HFC/HFO refrigerants. The package includes a qualified technician, high speed recovery machine, necessary equipment to extract the refrigerant and the supply of cylinders required to complete the task. All required paperwork is completed by the attending technician.
