SF6 Gas Reconditioning

SF6 Reconditioning to >99% Purity- Without the Emissions.

Don't Be a Gashole™ - Expert SF6 Recovery and Reconditioning Solutions

Gas Insulated Equipment (GIE) inevitably leads to SF6 contamination over time. Air infiltration, nitrogen mixing, tetrafluoromethane (CF4) buildup, equipment leaks, and improper handling procedures all degrade your valuable SF6 . Rather than costly disposal and replacement, In-Gas Direct's proven SF6 recovery and reconditioning process restores your gas to exceed IEEE and IEC industry standards – often delivering higher purity than original new gas.
The Hidden Costs of Contaminated SF6
Equipment Performance Issues:
Contaminated SF6 reduces dielectric strength and can cause equipment failures
Regulatory Violations:
Degraded gas may not meet safety and environmental standards
Waste & Replacement Costs:
Disposing of contaminated gas while purchasing expensive new SF6 doubles your expenses
Environmental Impact:
Each pound of SF6 released equals 23,500 pounds of CO2 in global warming potential

Our SF6 Recovery and Reconditioning Process
The In-Gas Zero Emission Concept™
Our comprehensive 5-step process ensures complete SF6 recovery and reconditioning with zero emissions:
01. Measurement of Gas Quality
We begin by analyzing your contaminated SF6 to determine contamination levels, moisture content, and impurity types. This initial assessment guides our recovery and reconditioning strategy.
02. Gas Recovery and Purification
Using our state-of-the-art SF6 recovery equipment, we safely extract contaminated gas from your equipment and begin the purification process through precision separation techniques:

Air and nitrogen extraction during recovery
Tetrafluoromethane (CF4) elimination through reconditioning
Moisture removal to achieve <99.5 ppmV
Complete byproduct elimination
Particulate and oil filtration
03. Recording Gas Quantity/SF6 Monitoring
Throughout the recovery and reconditioning process, we meticulously track and document all SF6 quantities for EPA compliance and inventory management.
04. Measurement of Purified Gas Quality
Every recovered and reconditioned batch undergoes extensive testing with guaranteed results:
>99% SF6 purity (exceeding industry minimums)
<99.5 ppmV moisture content (-41.5° dew point)
Zero decomposition byproducts
Full IEEE and IEC standards compliance
05. Filling of Gas Compartment
We complete the process by returning your like-new SF6 to clean cylinders or directly to your equipment, with comprehensive documentation including certificates of analysis, purity verification, and EPA compliance records.
