A-GAS said an enhanced version of PyroPlas, its proprietary refrigerant-destruction technology, will soon be available in Australia and New Zealand. Making the announcement through a Press release, A-Gas said new staff have been recruited and that it is poised to roll out the latest PyroPlas technology under A-Gas ownership for the first time in the Asia-Pacific region. Customers in Australia and New Zealand will be able to use proven destruction technology, designed and built in their own backyard, the company added.

The newly developed equipment will be able to deal effectively with halons, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and mixtures of all previous generations of used refrigerant, as well as an increase in the prevalence of flammables, the company said.

A-Gas said it has operated PyroPlas for more than a decade to successfully and safely destroy thousands of tons of ozone-depleting substances at its Bowling Green facility, in the United States. This United Nations-approved TEAP-certified technology delivers the industry’s highest guaranteed and proven destruction efficiency at a minimum of 99.9999%. the company claimed.

It’s just over a year since A-Gas announced the acquisition of PyroPlas to expand its global lifecycle refrigerant management capabilities. A-Gas said its team has taken time to develop the new equipment to give it a wider range of destruction capabilities.

Speaking on the occasion of the release of the new version of the technology, Louise McCann, Group Commercial Director, A-Gas, said: “With the further development of PyroPlas units, we are proud to offer the most complete refrigerant management capability in the world.

A-Gas has been operating in Australia since 1995 and started trading in New Zealand in 2018. A-Gas said it also has a growing business in Asia, with operations in Singapore and Japan, which are considered hubs for activity within this region.

Through its investment in PyroPlas, A-Gas said, it will continue to grow its footprint across Asia-Pacific and beyond by supporting responsible refrigerant recovery practices for the purposes of reclamation or destruction.
