WE MANAGE YOUR GAS RESIDUES
MORE THAN 5 YEARS
For more than 5years, Adiego Hnos, S.A. has been working towards the objective of a complete cycle in the management of refrigerant gases, including the extraction of said gas from the producer, the treatment of the extracted waste through refrigerant gas regeneration and then its reintroduction into any given industrial installation as regenerated gas.
MANAGEMENT
Refrigerant gas waste must be managed as hazardous waste in accordance with the norm (Law 22/2011, Order MAM 304/2002…). The waste management may be carried out by an authorised agent through two distinct means:
1) Gas reaches the end of its life cycle.
2) The law prohibits the use of this gas due to its composition.
ADIEGO HNOS S.A.
These residues are managed by Adiego Hnos. SA, the number one handler of these types of residues in Aragon.
The composition of these refrigerant gases is analysed in our installations, and any previous treatment is considered. Through this waste analysis we can ensure the composition of the cooling fluid that is going to be managed.
NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF REFRIGERANT GAS
In 2006 the European Union published Regulation 842, concerning fluorinated greenhouse gases. This norm regulates the use of HFC´s, PFC´s and SF6, all of which have a global warming potential superior to that of carbon dioxide. Its main objective is to contain, prevent and, therefore, reduce the emissions of the fluorinated greenhouse gases covered in the Kyoto Protocol.
The European legislation groups the gases according to how harmful they are:
• Gases that deplete the ozone layer (R22): REGULATION (EC) nº 1005/2009 FROM THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND COUNCIL, 16th September 2009, regarding substances that deplete the ozone layer.
• Greenhouse effect gases (R407, R410, R134,…): REGULATION (EC) Nº 842/2006 FROM THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND COUNCIL, 17th May 2006, regarding determined fluorinated greenhouse gases.
According to the law 22/2011, of residues and contaminated soil and the Order MAM/304/2002, this refrigerant gas waste is catalogued as hazardous waste under the code LER 140601*: chlorofluorocarbons, HCFC, HFC.
FLUORINATED GREENHOUSE GAS
Law 16/2013, article five, section 14, states that those who have already paid tax on the gases and who have credited documentation proving the delivery of the fluorinated greenhouse gas waste (to a management body recognised by the competent public administration) for the purpose of its destruction, recycling or regeneration, will be able to DEDUCT the quotas of paid tax in the corresponding self-assessment in each period of payment or receive a tax return as long as they have not previously requested the deduction. The same situation and in compliance with the same previous constraints, will occur with the final consumers who have incurred the tax and who can prove with valid documentation that they have not previously received a deduction and can therefore exercise their right to the RETURN OF TAX PAID.O.
The Royal Decree 1042/2013, for which the regulation is passed developing this law, establishes in its articles 18 and 19 a period of four years to take up the option of the right to a deduction and of 20 subsequent days on each quarterly tax self-assessment.
Adiego Hnos, S.A. provides all the necessary documentation to request the deduction or return of the paid tax.
GAS REGENERATION
Given the previous experience acquired we are able to receive the waste and then regenerate it in order to reintroduce it into the market in accordance with the quality standards specifications outlined in ARHI 700.
We have set ourselves the environmental objective, through the management of gas waste, to be capable of recovering the maximum quantity of regenerated product possible and reintroducing it into the consumption cycle.
The labelling on the regenerated product comes with its own specification on each package released into the market. As outlined in Law 16/2013, the tax to be paid will be specified on each corresponding section on the invoice.
