In one of the largest operations of its kind, A-Gas Rapid Recovery successfully recovered 14 tonnes of R134a refrigerant at a major pharmaceutical facility in Liverpool, enabling the safe decommissioning of storage vessels and associated pipework.
Working alongside a leading engineering and construction firm specialising in complex pharmaceutical and healthcare projects, A-Gas deployed a team of four experienced engineers to carry out the refrigerant recovery in just five days. Using A-Gas’ bespoke Rapid Recovery system, the team ensured complete containment and transfer of the refrigerant into an ISO tank, fully in line with environmental and safety regulations.
“Projects of this scale highlight the critical importance of specialised recovery expertise.
Our process guarantees speed, safety, and zero emissions — all while supporting our clients' wider sustainability goals”
