Hi guys,
We are a WEEE recycling company and we would like to start recycling fridges. We are aware that staff will need the relevant cat 3 FGas qualifications to do this.
We are not sure on what equipment we shall need to invest in, I presume it would involve degassing the fridges using specialist recovery equipment and recovering any liquid refrigerants and oils, while meeting environmental guidelines.
We are looking at accepting primarily domestic fridges and would not be recycling the foam ourselves, as I am aware this has to be shredded by a specialist in order to contain any ODS within the blowing agent.
So any advice would be really appreciated on what we may need to start up! Is anyone involved in this line of business?...
What equipment would be best for us to recover approx. 100 fridges per day?
How would we dispose of the refrigerant gases, liquids and oils - costs involved?
Where do we take the metal casing/doors containing the blowing agents and how much will this cost?
Is the foam in the entire casing back, front and sides inc. door?
I guess we are evaluating whether it's financially viable considering any costs invloved!
Anyway sorry in advance for my thesis on this! Just thought I may benefit from you knowledgable people!
Cheers,
Kath;)
