A-Gas in Singapore Supports Customer Through a Productive and Effective Training Programme

At a Glance 

A-Gas in Singapore was proud to partner with Gain City, one of the country's leading air conditioning retailers, to deliver training to its employees. This programme was designed to give Gain City's team members effective and productive skills to manage refrigerants safely and responsibly. 

Gain City is a National Environment Agency (NEA)-licensed E-Waste Recycler, so it has environmental commitments that it is passionate about upholding. It is essential that its employees are trained on how to effectively "pump down" and recover used gas. 

Challenges

  • Preventing the release of high global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants into the atmosphere. 
  • Ensuring compliance with National Environment Agency (NEA) regulations through comprehensive operator training. 
  • Managing decommissioned air conditioning units containing harmful refrigerants like R22 and R410A. 

Benefits

  • Establishing a strong partnership to successfully train operators and share expertise. 
  • Recovering refrigerants safely and efficiently, in line with NEA standards in Singapore. 
  • Demonstrating the value of an effective Lifecycle Refrigerant Management (LRM) strategy. 

Solution

Through expert-led, hands-on training sessions, Gain City's employees developed their skills in proper "pump down" and recovery processes. A-Gas provided recovery units, specialised equipment and cylinders, and its team members shared practices that were compliant with all NEA regulations. 

Results

Through skilled training and guidance, Gain City's employees are now equipped to handle refrigerant in a way that is both effective and responsible. This partnership shows how collaboration is vital to a successful Lifecycle Refrigerant Management (LRM) offering. 

The trainers were knowledgeable and engaging, and made the content approachable for people of all experience levels to a proper pump down to prevent emissions.
