Specialty chemical and gases management expert A-Gas has announced plans to invest in excess of £1m ($1.3m) in a new refrigerant separator.
The corporation cites the growing concern around the high global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants restriction due to recently adjusted F-Gas regulations as the reason behind the significant investment.
The new refrigerant separator will be installed at its Portbury plant near Bristol, UK in the second half of 2017 and will more than double the company’s reclamation capacity at its Portbury site.
