Compressed Gas Cylinders

Every compressed gas cylinder SET comes in contact with is thoroughly inspected by an SET specialist.

Our gas cylinder specialists utilize a custom-designed manifold system and proven methodology that ensures no gas will escape during sampling operations.

For compressed gases, this positive identification is essential and has prevented numerous potential safety, health and liability problems that can be caused by unlabeled or misidentified gas cylinders.

SET owns numerous salvage cylinders designed to DOT specifications that can be transported to a site upon request and used for containing a leaking or damaged cylinder.

Additionally, SET Gas Cylinder Specialists have experience with many types of specialized equipment used to transfer the contents of non-shippable gas cylinders, including those that possess inoperable valves. Our extensive transportation fleet and our permitted TSDF allow us to provide full-service gas cylinder management from pick up to final disposal or recycling of all types and sizes of gas cylinders and portable tanks. Since we wholly own and operate our fleet and equipment, we are able to provide you with greater efficiency throughout the entire cylinder disposal process.

SET is equipped with a high-capacity, high-efficiency scrubber system, chemical treatment tanks and a specially designed secure vapor containment chamber capable of handling reactive gases in cylinders and portable tanks.

Our facility is also equipped to handle cylinders with inoperable valves and has the ability to transfer the contents of gas cylinders to larger vessels, allowing for the return of customer cylinders when requested. Our combined expertise in gas handling, process engineering, regulatory knowledge and specialty chemical treatment allows us to design treatment options for gases that would otherwise require more expensive disposal.

For gases that can be recycled, we utilize only a few, select firms that use the cylinder contents as a raw ingredient in an industrial process or as a substitute for a commercial material. After the gases are treated or recycled, SET purges, rinses and decommissions the empty cylinders. All cylinder are reclaimed for their metal value. All residual solutions from the gas treatment are carefully tracked to an approved disposal facility.
