At the beginning of 2024, A-Gas in Singapore initiated a significant recovery project at a major trans-shipment hub, partnering with Ping Engineering (S) Pte Ltd. A-Gas’ skilled technicians are working throughout the year to recover substantial quantities of R134A and R32 from decommissioned air conditioning units at the customer’s offices.
The project aims to prevent refrigerant venting into the atmosphere, in accordance with Singapore's Resource Sustainability Act (RSA), and to provide a flexible, efficient Lifecycle Refrigerant Management (LRM) solution that minimizes downtime while supporting the customer’s environmental goals.
Recovering high Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerants such as HFCs presents a challenge, which A-Gas is addressing through a highly organized and time-effective solution, enabling the customer's continuous daily operations while complying with the RSA.
The project has several key benefits:
- Safe and efficient refrigerant recovery that supports the customer's sustainability goals of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50% by 2030 and achieving net-zero by 2050.
- Effective collaboration between A-Gas and its partners.
- Consistently high-quality service provided by A-Gas’ skilled technicians and custom-designed equipment.
By using custom-designed equipment, A-Gas ensures a quick, safe, and effective recovery process without disrupting day-to-day activities. The recovered gas is transported back to A-Gas to be reclaimed to AHRI 700 standards for future reuse, aligning with circular economy principles.
This project underscores A-Gas' commitment to protecting and enhancing the environment through efficient, cost-effective solutions.
