Reclaimed R22 Refrigerant Gas
You will be aware of the new European regulation (EC) No. 2037/2000 which now restricts you from refilling and topping up your R22 refrigeration systems on your European Flag ships, with fresh new R22 refrigerant gas. You may have thought that your only choice to comply with this new regulation was to make costly and potentially risky modifications to your equipment to allow the use of alternative refrigerant gases - you do however, have an attractive alternative choice!
Maintain Your Equipment Using Reclaimed R22
Regulation (EC) No. 2037/2000 specifically states that only reclaimed R22 “should be used in maintenance and servicing operations”. This means that you can continue to do what you have always done in maintaining your equipment, simply replacing fresh “virgin” R22 with reclaimed R22. As a busy ship operator, what could be easier for you?
By choosing reclaimed R22 you will also save yourself the time, money and worry associated with:
• Considering modifications to your refrigeration machinery to run effectively with an alternative gas;
• Selecting the right alternative refrigerant gas to use in each of your different systems on each ship;
• Considering and monitoring the effect on performance of your different systems on each ship when operating on a different refrigerant gas from that they were designed to operate with.
World’s Largest Processors of Reclaimed R22
Martek Marine in exclusive partnership with BOC Linde, who are the world’s largest processors of reclaimed R22, have established a stock-pile of reclaimed R22, reserved specifically for ships. This material, which is in very short and diminishing supply, offers you the most cost effective and convenient method of complying with the EC regulation to keep your refrigeration systems running, without the need for modification. Available ex-stock in handy 42kg cylinders, we can air freight the material immediately to your required port of destination.
Demand is Rising & Stock is Limited – Act Now!
We have seen a rising demand in recent weeks since operators became aware of the benefits of using reclaimed R22 and demand for our stock-pile is increasing rapidly. Act now to secure your own stock to keep your systems running for the next 5 years.
Remember there is a very limited diminishing amount of reclaimed R22 in the world. With like-minded operators ordering early to secure their own stock, once our stock is depleted, there will be no more reclaimed R22 available and you will have no option but to modify your systems.
