The Prosolv system from Justrite is a safe and economical method for disposing of calibration gas cylinders.
Calibration gases are used widely by various industrial and commercial facilities to calibrate gauges that measure gases such as ammonia, methane, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and many other specific gases.
Laboratories and research facilities calibrate sensitive instruments to ensure they are in optimum working condition.
After use, calibration gas cylinders should be disposed of properly, and the Prosolv system fits this need.
This manually operated venting device removes the internal valve stem and sealing sleeve from propane, mapp, and calibration gas cylinders (not to be used with oxygen bottles).
It filters and empties the propellant, transforming the cylinder from a hazardous to a non-hazardous state, helping comply with EPA 40CFR261.23(a)(6).
Instead of incurring costs for hazardous waste disposal, users can recycle the cylinders as scrap steel.
The system results in cost savings for businesses and benefits the environment.
The unit can be handheld or mounted on a tabletop and includes a fuel canister venting device and activated carbon filter.
For added safety and convenience, it includes an antistatic wire, safety goggles, sleeve removal tool, and a supply of 40 certification tags.
When all the tags are used, it's time to reorder a new filter and additional tags.
