Regarding The Sf6 Gas Recovery,Treatment And Utilization Standards, You Need To Understand These Issues

Question: What are the mandatory requirements for the recovery and treatment of SF6 gas in the international market?

Answer: The global control of greenhouse gases is becoming stricter. As a strong greenhouse gas, the treatment of SF6 has received much attention. The EU’s “Fluorinated Gas Regulation” requires that the recovery rate of SF6 gas be not less than 95%. The US EPA stipulates that imported electrical equipment must provide a complete record of gas recovery and treatment. Some Southeast Asian countries are gradually incorporating gas purification indicators into the import certification system. Products that do not meet local environmental protection standards may face high fines or even be prohibited from entering the market.

Question: What specific contents are included in China’s standards for the recovery, treatment, and utilization of SF6 gas?

Answer: The “Guidelines for On – site Recycling and Reuse of Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) Gas” (GB/T 44653 – 2024) implemented in China in 2025 covers many core aspects. In terms of technical indicators, it clearly stipulates that the recovery rate is ≥ 96%, the purification rate is ≥ 98%, and strict limits are set for key parameters such as moisture, acidity, and purity in the gas. In terms of operation specifications, it is required that the recovery equipment should have a leak – proof design, and the operators must undergo professional training and be certified to work. At the same time, it also includes gas detection methods, requirements for the material of storage containers, safety protection standards during transportation, etc., forming a full – chain technical specification from recovery, treatment to reuse.

Question: What is the specific process for the recovery, treatment, and utilization of SF6 gas?

Answer: The complete process mainly consists of five steps. The first step is on – site detection. Professional equipment is used to sample the SF6 gas in electrical equipment, and detect its purity, moisture content, acidity and other indicators to determine whether the gas is worth recovering. The second step is recovery. The gas is pumped out from the equipment through a closed pipeline and injected into a special recovery device. During this process, the pressure and flow rate need to be monitored throughout to ensure no leakage. The third step is purification treatment. Technologies such as adsorption and filtration are used to remove impurities, moisture, and decomposition products in the gas to make it meet the re – filling standard. The fourth step is storage. The purified gas is stored in a high – pressure container that meets the standards. The container needs to be regularly tested for tightness and pressure resistance. The fifth step is re – filling or reuse. The gas that passes the inspection can be re – filled into electrical equipment for recycling. The gas that cannot be re – filled is handed over to a professional institution for harmless treatment or recycling processing.

Question: Can China’s standards for the recovery, treatment, and utilization of SF6 gas meet the needs of the international market?

Answer: The “Guidelines for On – site Recycling and Reuse of Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) Gas” (GB/T44653 – 2024) implemented in China in 2025 has core indicators in line with international standards. The requirements of a recovery rate of ≥ 96% and a purification rate of ≥ 98% are better than EU standards and can meet the access conditions of major global trading regions. The specifications for gas detection, storage, and transportation in the standard also comply with international general guidelines such as ISO and IEC, providing compliance guarantees for foreign trade businesses.

Question: What practical help does following this standard bring to foreign – trade enterprises in expanding international business?

Answer: Firstly, it can break through trade barriers, comply with the environmental protection regulations of the target market, and avoid the loss of orders due to non – compliance with standards. Secondly, it can increase the product premium space. According to data from the International Energy Agency, the quotation of SF6 treatment equipment that meets high standards can be increased by 15% – 20%. In addition, it can enhance customer trust. In bidding projects, a compliant recovery and treatment plan is an important plus point. Some domestic enterprises have successfully won grid transformation projects in the Middle East and Europe with services that meet this standard.

Question: What support can customers get from cooperating with us?

Answer: Our SF6 gas recovery and purification equipment fully complies with international standards. The equipment has passed CE and UL certifications and has been exported in batches to more than 20 countries such as Germany, Australia, and Vietnam, providing treatment services with a recovery rate of over 96.5% for local power enterprises and has accumulated a good reputation in the international market. Moreover, our equipment can provide a multi – language operation interface and test reports that meet the standards of the target country to assist customers in passing local environmental protection certifications.
