Halon Banking
The Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the Ozone layer, an historic achievement in global legislation, originally foresaw only to cease on the production and consumption of HALON in 1992. HALON were considered so important for fire safety that their exclusion from more stringent measures seemed justified. However, the accelerated depletion of the Ozone layer and awareness of the damage caused by bromine has now led to a complete phase-out of the productions of HALON by January 1994 (with the exception of article 5 countries).
The main reason for HALON BANKING is to promote the use of recycled HALONS in order to prevent new production of HALON in developed countries.
The following are important for the plan of recycling and reuse of HALON:
Facilitate the transfer of available HALON from one user to satisfy needs of another.
Prevent discharge to the atmosphere
Mitigate the need for consumption and production, exemptions for essential uses. The term essential user could be yourself.
The efficiency of HALON 1301 translates into effectiveness. The agent HALON 1301 mixes rapidly with the entire atmosphere of the protected space. Knockdown and suppression of the fire is achieved in minimum possible time.
These characteristics of HALON 1301 make it necessary to store the available HALON 1301 for essential users like naval bases, air bases, computer rooms, libraries etc. where no alternative could replace HALON 1301.
We are professionally and technically sound to store your HALON after reclamation. Whenever you require your reclaimed HALON or require HALON 1301 in huge quantities, we can provide you with recycled HALON. We take utmost care to ensure that HALON is not released to the atmosphere and that our HALON BANKING is done conforming to high INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS.
