PENGUIN™ Certified Reclaimed Refrigerants

Reclaimed Refrigerants to Meet State & Federal Regulations 

State & Federal HFC Regulations

Lifecycle Refrigerant Management is at the forefront of helping you stay compliant with all of the state and federal HFC regulations while also helping to ensure future HFC supply and availability. A-Gas has invested in our technology and people to ensure that we have the training and equipment necessary to help with the safe recovery and reclamation of refrigerants. 

California State Bill 1206 (SB 1206) Regulations

In 2022, California passed State Bill 1206 (SB 1206), currently in the rulemaking process, which prohibits the sale and distribution of bulk HFCs or HFC blends exceeding GWP limits. Reclaimed refrigerants are exempt so long as they are sourced from an EPA Certified Reclaimer, which A-Gas is proud to be.

A-Gas' PENGUIN™ Certified Reclaimed Refrigerants meet the following criteria:

  • AHRI 700 Certified
  • Contain at least 85% Reclaimed Material (except in the case of R404A & R507, which will be 100% Reclaimed Material)
  • 99.5% Minimum Purity

Schedule of GWP Limits

For a full schedule of the GWP limits, deadlines, and products impacted with their associated GWPs, download our CA SB 1206 Fact Sheet. Note that some HFO blends contain HFC gases, therefore, those products may be impacted.

Cylinder Tracking

We use CylTrak® and Gas-Trak Online® (GTO), which are our proprietary and industry-leading cylinder tracking and management system. By scanning this barcode, we can trace everywhere this cylinder has been since the day it first arrived at one of our facilities. We can track what products are in it, what has previously been in it, and the certifications for the gases. This is also how we can ensure that all of our A-Gas-owned cylinders are within the DOT test date.
