We plan to dramatically increase throughput.”
Min-Kwang Seok, co-CEO of Sunjin Environment, a company specializing in waste refrigerant recovery/refining and thermal treatment, said, “In the future, the global demand for waste refrigerant destruction and regeneration will increase as the international community’s awareness of air environment protection changes and the system is strengthened.” He said, “We will leap forward as a global green environment company based on differentiated business plans in domestic and overseas markets.”
One-stop solution for waste refrigerant recovery, treatment and regeneration
Sunjin Environment Co., Ltd. (Co-CEO Kang-Woo Lee, Min-Kwang Seok), located in Saenggok Resource Circulation Specialty Complex, Gangseo-Gu, Busan, is a greenhouse gas that seriously affects climate change, global warming, and ozone layer depletion. We are running a business that can contribute to implementation.
In particular, it is leading the industry by completing the first domestic process that can solve the recovery, treatment, and regeneration of waste refrigerant generated during maintenance and disposal of various refrigeration and air conditioning facilities such as industrial and commercial refrigerators and waste home appliances in a single factory for the first time in Korea. It is solidifying its position as a Leading Company.
Co-CEO Seok Min-kwang said, “Refrigerant is a chemical substance (hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) ) and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), there are CFC series, HCFC series, and HFC series refrigerants. GWP is a greenhouse gas that causes climate change such as droughts and floods by 140 to 11,700 times that of CO2), and legal regulations are in progress worldwide.”
Co-CEO Seok said, “Advanced environment has the effect of reducing the import of refrigerants by reducing greenhouse gases and recovering and recycling all the waste refrigerant remaining in the equipment in securing and expanding the decomposition and recycling technology of waste refrigerant that even advanced countries do not have yet. Of course, it is contributing to the creation of a new waste treatment market and vitalization of the treatment plant construction market. We will also take the lead in improving the manufacturing technology of fluorine-based monomers, which is the core technology of the fluorine industry.”
Acquired Refrigerant-related New Technology (NET) Certification for the first time in Korea
Advanced Environment participated in the Ministry of Environment's 'Non-CO₂ Greenhouse Gas Reduction Technology Development' national research project as the host organization and developed 'One-Stop Treatment Facility for Waste Refrigerant Recovery, Refining and Thermal Treatment' at the end of 2017. ) built a dedicated factory.
A total of 6 billion won was invested in this exclusive plant, including R&D expenses, and through continuous R&D with excellent researchers at the master's and doctoral level in the organization, more than 20 related patents such as thermal destruction and detoxification systems for waste refrigerants were also applied for and registered. In particular, the 'waste refrigerant decomposition technology using swirling injection of combustion air' is taking a unique and differentiated path as a self-accredited environmental research and development company, such as acquiring the new technology (NET) certification from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy for the first time in Korea.
Co-CEO Seok Min-kwang said, “There are not many companies in developed countries such as the United States and Japan that possess waste refrigerant recovery/refining and thermal treatment technologies at the same time, and it is the first in Korea to have an advanced environment. The 'waste refrigerant detoxification and treatment technology' developed as a task was selected as the most excellent technology among the global top environmental technology development projects of the Ministry of Environment for the past 10 years, and received the Best Star Technology Award (Minister of Environment Award).”
'Waste refrigerant detoxification and treatment technology' developed by Advanced Environment produces and sells recycled refrigerant after removing impurities contained in waste refrigerant in consideration of resource circulation. can be destroyed.
In particular, it is evaluated as a combustion technology dedicated to the waste refrigerant that can reduce the energy consumption required to decompose the thermally stable waste refrigerant in the destructive treatment of waste refrigerant containing halogen elements such as fluorine (F) at high temperature.
When the combustion air is supplied in the tangential direction to the double-structure swirl flow type combustor, it rotates along the inner wall of the combustor and then joins the rotating flame. The preheated air discharged into the combustion chamber rotates along the inner wall of the combustion chamber and joins the flame formed in the center of the combustion chamber to be used as an oxidizer for combustion.
The core technology is to improve energy efficiency by cooling the combustion chamber with combustion air and using the air preheated in the combustion chamber cooling process as a waste refrigerant oxidizer instead of constructing refractory materials to protect the outer wall of the combustor.
The combustion chamber flame achieved a thermally stable decomposition rate of over 99.99% of the waste refrigerant by mixing the waste refrigerant, auxiliary fuel, and oxidizing agent by Turbulence at a maximum temperature of 1,400℃ and securing sufficient residence time.
Advanced environment develops refrigerant thermal decomposition technology through thermal reaction with methane, one of the waste refrigerant treatment technologies designated by the UN, fractionation liquefaction technology using liquefaction point, and Korea's best gas separation membrane technology and adsorption technology. commercialized.
Co-CEO Seok Min-kwang said, “Based on this process technology, after removing impurities in the waste refrigerant, we eco-friendly production and supply of recycled refrigerant that has a regeneration rate and quality close to 100% compared to that of a new refrigerant. Demand is increasing every year,” he said.
Fractional liquefaction is a technology that separates mixed refrigerants in stages using different liquefaction points (boiling points), and is most widely used for refrigerant regeneration. It is characterized by low energy consumption as it is the reverse process of fractional distillation widely used in crude oil refining.
The membrane separation method is a technology that separates the membrane material by the difference in the permeation rate due to the physicochemical interaction between the membrane material and the permeating gas molecules.
Co-CEO Seok Min-kwang said, “When a hollow fiber type separator is applied, the processing capacity per unit volume is high, but compared to the fractional liquefaction technology, it is a research stage and additional research is needed for materials and capacity expansion to commercialize it.”
In addition, Advanced Environment developed a vehicle-mounted refrigerant recovery system for the first time in Korea, providing waste refrigerant recovery and regenerated refrigerant charging services. is under development.
The facility utilization rate is less than 30% due to lack of legal/institutional and management measures.
By using the advanced environment's 'waste refrigerant detoxification and treatment technology', it is possible to reduce 500 kg of waste refrigerant per hour into reusable regenerated refrigerant and thermal treatment of 50 kg of non-renewable refrigerant to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by hundreds of thousands of tons per year.
However, in accordance with the Air Environment Conservation Act and the Waste Management Act, the entire amount of waste refrigerant must be recovered and processed by specialized companies, but the reality is that the amount processed is as low as 1%. Currently, the utilization rate of facilities in advanced environments is less than 30% of its processing capacity due to lack of legal and institutional arrangements and lack of management measures.
Co-CEO Seok Min-kwang mentioned that in order to improve this, the subject of legal regulation (or management) should be expanded to not only high-pressure refrigerants but also low-pressure refrigerants, and the refrigeration capacity should be included in the regulation from refrigerators over 20RT to small refrigerators.
It also suggested the need to prepare a management plan (sanction measures) for refrigerant leakage, strengthen punishment, and establish a management system for the entire process of purchasing, injecting, discharging and recovering new refrigerant, refining, recycling and refining.
In addition, about two refrigerant-related methodologies have recently been registered for the emission trading system related to spent refrigerant, and advanced environment is also in the process of registering methodologies with the Ministry of Environment. pointed out that
Doing our best to become a company that takes charge of the nation's future new growth engine
Advanced Environment will also strengthen its competitiveness in the domestic and overseas markets in preparation for an increase in global demand due to the strengthening of the international community's awareness and system for air environment protection in the future.
Co-CEO Seok Min-kwang said, “First of all, in 2022, we will focus our company-wide capabilities on overseas exports such as our differentiated waste refrigerant treatment business, direct export of waste refrigerant treatment plant equipment, and export of business models for overseas markets, We plan to dramatically increase the amount of waste refrigerant recovery and processing through the expansion of our second business site.”
Above all, advanced environment is superior in terms of ease of handling and management of waste refrigerants by establishing a system that can design and manufacture all facilities on its own, such as technology that can recycle and dispose (thermal decomposition), and process waste refrigerants in one stop. is occupying In addition, it has sufficient price competitiveness, such as having its own technology, no burden on technology fees, and low processing costs due to one-stop processing in a single plant.
In addition, through business agreements with the Korea Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Construction Management Association, the Korea Refrigerant Recycling and Treatment Cooperative, Freeze, a cold chain management solution company, and EcoMeister, a KOSDAQ-listed company, a cooperative system to create a healthy ecosystem in the market for recycling, disposal, and distribution of waste refrigerant We are also working on strengthening it.
Co-CEO Seok Min-kwang said, “Based on this infrastructure,
Through aggressive and aggressive sales and facility expansion, the amount of waste refrigerant recovery and processing is increased to raise the processing capacity by 50 to 60%, while the most concerned parts from the time of establishment of facilities and factory facilities are recovery, transportation, refining, processing and administration. As all managers were systematized from management to management, we plan to operate it so that customers can easily carry out their work.”
He continued, “Based on such differentiated technologies and business plans, we will actively take the lead in resolving domestic and international environmental problems and continue to conduct research and development to leap forward as a global green environmental company, and become a company that plays a role in the nation’s future new growth engine. We will do our best to make it happen.”
