The increasing attention of international community towards ozone depletion control and global warming issues has encouraged the development of strategies for emission reduction of fluoridate refrigerant gases. In this context innovative industrial plants able to recover, recycle, and dispose the refrigerant gases need to be developed. In this paper the different phases of design, realization, and characterization of a complete plant for used refrigerant gas recovery are described. The analysis of the pollutants present in the refrigerant stream has supported the design and realization of equipment able to control these emissions and to restore the concentration levels compatible with AHRI standards.
