    Halon management

    Halon is a liquefied, compressed gas that stops the spread of fire by chemically disrupting combustion. It’s an effective fire suppressant for flammable liquids and electrical fires but, due to its ozone depletion potential, halon is now banned for production under the Montreal Protocol. The use of halon is not banned in the United States, but it is suggested that halon systems should be upgraded to a more environmentally friendly alternative when feasible. Halon is still used for mission critical applications or  “essential uses,” including the protection of aircraft passenger cabins and flight decks, cargo compartments, and engine bays.

    A-Gas offers a wide range of products and services to the aviation industry to meet current and future fire protection requirements through our Total Solutions® program. We offer unrivaled technical support and advice in an ever changing regulatory focused industry.

    Insulation agents

    We’re a major supplier of blowing agents used in the manufacture of high-quality insulation foams for the construction industry. The use of these foams helps builders and specifiers meet the increasingly stringent energy efficiency and safety standards demanded by contractors, planning authorities and insurers.

    Refrigerant Recovery & Reclamation

    Recovery is the removal or extraction of refrigerant from an appliance, using a recovery unit. The recovered refrigerant is then transferred to an external storage vessel or container. Our fleet of dedicated recovery cylinders with specialist valve technology allows engineers to retrieve waste refrigerants safely and responsibly. Recovered refrigerants are transferred to our sites under document control with the necessary international and regional legislation being followed. Once on our site the refrigerant is reclaimed.

    Reclamation is the process of taking recovered refrigerant and processing (cleaning) it through a quality-controlled procedure to meet or exceed AHRI 700 purity specifications, the same purity standard used for new refrigerant.

    Air Conditioning

    Refrigerants are used in air conditioning equipment in buildings and other occupied spaces to provide cooling to a comfortable ambient temperature.

    We offer a full range of refrigerants to the process cooling industry. Alongside our complete range of products we offer technical advice to assist with refrigerant retrofits and advice on complying with local legislation.

    Water treatment

    Through A-Zone Technologies we offer the industrial sector a chemical-free water treatment solution. Our technology is ACoP L8 compliant and sterilises water for process applications. The system enables continuous monitoring with the ability to audit data online.

    It can be used for:

    • Processing water for industrial applications and food processing
    • Ultrapure and deionised water systems used in pharmaceutical and electronic industries
    • Clean-In-Place (CIP) systems in process industries
    • Cooling towers and evaporative condensers
    • Workplace and production machinery ozone-water (OW) fogging systems

    Metred Dose Inhalers (MDI)

    We offer MDI propellants such as HFC134a and HFC227ea, and solutions to handle waste canisters and reclaim the HFCs gases contained within MDI canisters.

    We have provided exceptional MDI recycling services in Europe and the U.S. for over ten years.

    Our processes ensure:

    • Security – waste products are fully tracked and cannot re-enter the supply chain
    • Environmental responsibility – we reclaim over 90% of MDI propellant in the waste stream and purify it to be re-used as commercial refrigerant
    • Simplicity – we offer a full service solution, managing all scheduling, packaging and transportation to deliver you a fully auditable solution
    • Reliability – we never miss a shipment; our supply chain is flexible to suit your requirements

    Water Treatment Technology

    We offer a chemical-free water treatment system that’s perfect for the medical industry, generating Ozone ‘in water, from water’ which means no chemicals need to be handled or stored.

    • Ozone is a powerful and fast-acting oxidant and disinfectant, treating water much more quickly than chlorine and other traditional methods
    • Ozonated water has an improved colour, taste and odour over chlorinated water
    • Ozone treats a wide variety of waterborne contaminates and ensures the safety of anyone coming into contact with the water
    • Concentrations as low as 25ppb are sufficient to maintain a disinfected water system

  • Mines

    Mines

    Refrigeration and air conditioning systems are installed in mines to control temperature and provide ventilation. Chilling the air underground lets miners work safely and ensures the continuous operation of mines. We supply refrigerants that are used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems within the mining industry.
